Kitchen Sink Candy Tips and Tricks

Evenly Sized: If you’d like a treat that’s more evenly sized, use mini marshmallows. It comes out more of a Kitchen Sink bark instead of clusters.

Variations: Feel free to customize this recipe with your favorite ingredients. You can add dried fruit, coconut flakes, or even a sprinkle of sea salt for an extra burst of flavor.

Storage: Store your Kitchen Sink Candy in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. It should last for up to two weeks, but let’s be honest, it probably won’t last that long.

Gift Idea: These clusters make a fantastic homemade gift. Simply wrap them in cellophane and tie with a ribbon for a sweet and thoughtful present.
