For easier handling, consider using slightly stale marshmallows. If the caramel mixture becomes too thick, add a tablespoon of milk or cream to thin it out. Store the finished Goof Balls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For a chocolatey twist, drizzle melted chocolate over the finished Goof Balls.
