FAQs
Can I use a different cereal instead of Golden Grahams?
Yes, cereals like Chex or Rice Krispies can be used as alternatives. Just keep in mind that the texture and flavor will vary slightly.
How do I prevent the marshmallows from melting too much on top?
Adding extra mini-marshmallows after mixing and pressing the bars gives a toasted marshmallow look without melting them completely. You can also lightly toast them under a broiler for a minute, watching carefully to avoid burning.
