  • If you don’t have graham cracker crumbs, crush whole graham crackers in a zip-top bag with a rolling pin.

FAQs

Can I use regular-sized marshmallows instead of mini marshmallows?

Yes, you can use regular-sized marshmallows, but you may want to cut them in half for more even coverage and faster melting.

How do I prevent the marshmallows from burning?

Keep a close eye during the last few minutes of baking. If they are browning too quickly, you can cover the pan loosely with aluminum foil to prevent burning while allowing them to continue melting.
