Optional toppings and extras:
Step 1: Prep your pan
Line an 8×8 inch square pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it. This helps the roll ups release easily once set.
Step 2: Mix the Jello and water
In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk the Jello powder with ½ cup of hot water until fully dissolved.
Step 3: Add marshmallows
Stir in 1 ½ cups of mini marshmallows. Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute.
Step 4: Whisk until smooth
After microwaving, whisk the mixture vigorously until all the marshmallows are fully melted and the mixture is foamy and slightly thickened.
Step 5: Pour into the pan
Immediately pour the mixture into your prepared dish and tilt gently to spread it evenly. The layer should be thin and smooth.
Step 6: Chill to set
Place the pan in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 30–45 minutes, or until firm to the touch.
Step 7: Slice and roll
Once set, lift the sheet out of the pan. Use a sharp knife or kitchen scissors to slice into long strips (about 1 inch wide). Gently roll each strip into a spiral.
Step 8: Serve or store
Place the roll ups seam-side down on a tray or plate. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container until ready to enjoy.
