    Let’s be honest! Nobody on their right minds are only going to use 1 tsp of chocolate!!

    • Maria

      Agee lol plus the photo def looks like more than a teaspoon.

      • rebecca

        yes, the picture shows more chocolate than marshmallows, even though the recipe says otherwise.
        i also wondered how the marshmallows all across the top got browned when the recipe says cover the top with foil?
