    Frequently Asked Questions


    How to store Golden Grahams S'mores Bars? How long do they last?

    I recommend eating these within two to three days of making (which won't be hard since they are so good!)

    Store in an airtight container.

    Any longer than 2-3 days and they can become stale and the golden grahams can get a little soggy.

    Why do I add marshmallows and chocolate chips at two different times while making these?

    I add them after mixing the golden grahams in because I figure that the mixture is cool enough to not melt the chocolate and newly added marshmallows- even if it did melt them the bars would still be delicious- but not as pretty.

    I press on extra marshmallows and chocolate chips because it makes them look that much more appetizing and who doesn't love more marshmallows and chocolate!

      Sorry this may be a stupid question but do you use salted or unsalted butter for this recipe? Can’t wait to try these!

        Not stupid! Sorry, I didn't make that clear 🙂 You can use either. It's such a small amount of butter that any salt won't be too much or too little.

      Tip: cut the cereal bag open and use the inside side of the bag to press down the mixture once you dump it into the prepped cake pan. It doesn’t stick to the waxed paper.

        Oh no! Soggy is usually the result of over mixing so all the cereal breaks into small pieces, or if it's not stored in an air tight container.
