These fluffy marshmallows, filled with real milk chocolate, are not only perfect for your favorite cup of hot cocoa, but they are equally amazing in our new fall baking projects.

We made super easy whoopie pies with cake mix and pumpkin pie filling. While the pies baked, we melted Stuffed Puffs® and turned them into a creamy, chocolatey filling.
