FAQs

Can I use regular-sized marshmallows instead of mini?

Yes, you can substitute regular marshmallows by chopping them into smaller pieces to help them melt evenly and mix better with the cereal.

Will these hold together if I freeze them?

Freezing is possible, but it may affect the texture. If you do freeze them, wrap the bars well and thaw at room temperature before serving.
