I’m glad to see a Bonne Maman jar, because I have about 50 and keep everything in them and use them as cups.
Bonne Maman is the way to go.

I really enjoyed the video too. One question I had, does everyone (but me) know that when they say put parchment paper that you’re supposed to spray with non-stick too? I would just have put the parchment down and then been pissed when the marshmallows stuck. Is this just a norm that I wasn’t aware of? Thanks again.
