FAQs
Can I use whole graham crackers instead of crumbs?
It’s best to use crumbs for an even crust, but you can crush whole graham crackers by placing them in a resealable bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
How do I stop marshmallows from burning?
Keep a close eye on the bars while baking. Remove them as soon as the marshmallows are golden to prevent burning. Alternatively, broil briefly but watch carefully.
