🍴 Recipe Tips
I like my "Krispie treats" to be on the softer side rather than solid so I use a full stick of butter from start to finish. If you like yours to be a little harder then reduce the amount requested by 2 or 3 tablespoons worth.
Another tip is to not overwork the marshmallows. This is a big one as a lot of people will over stir the marshmallows as they melt, causing them to become hardened as they cool.
Also, if you're making this smores dessert with golden Grahams on a hot summer day or the house is warm be prepared for the chocolate to make it not want to set. I personally keep my Golden Graham cereal bars stored in the fridge simply because the chocolate can't melt that way.
💭 FAQs
Believe it or not, they can be! The cereal itself is dairy free (I checked my box) and you can use dairy free chocolate chips as well as plant based butter to make the dish 100% dairy free.
These bars can last up to a week in the fridge before becoming stale. They should still be safe to eat at that point, but the texture is a little different. Some are okay with this and others are not so take note.
