Tips for the Best S’mores Bars
Don’t Overheat the Marshmallows
Keep the heat low while melting everything together. Overheating can make the bars hard instead of soft and chewy.
Stir Quickly
Once the marshmallow mixture is ready, work quickly to coat the cereal evenly before the mixture begins to set.
Lightly Press Into the Pan
Avoid packing the mixture too firmly into the pan. Gently pressing helps keep the bars soft and easy to bite into.
Add Extra Marshmallows on Top
For a prettier presentation and even more gooey texture, sprinkle extra mini marshmallows over the top before the bars cool completely.
