FAQs About Colorful Cathedral Candy Recipe

Your chocolate mixture may have been too warm. Warm chocolate melts the marshmallows and makes the candy sticky. Let the mixture cool longer next time for better texture.

Q2: Can I use white chocolate instead?
Yes, you can use white chocolate for a different look. It gives the candy a creamy color and sweet taste. Make sure to melt it slowly to avoid burning.

Q3: Can I make this candy nut-free?
Yes, simply skip the nuts. The recipe still tastes amazing. You can add extra marshmallows or small cereal pieces instead for crunch.

Q4: How do I keep the candy shape firm?
Make sure it chills long enough in the fridge. If the candy is soft, chill for an extra hour. Press the mixture firmly into the pan before chilling.
