For an extra layer of richness, substitute heavy cream for 1 cup of the milk. Experiment with different flavors by adding a pinch of cinnamon, a dash of peppermint extract, or a sprinkle of chili powder. For a vegan version, use plant-based milk (such as almond, soy, or oat milk) and vegan marshmallows. Adjust the amount of sugar to your personal preference.
