Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes. I often mix it in the morning and press it into the pan later in the day. If you plan to prep early, store the cooled bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or freeze for longer.

What pan size should I use?

Use a greased 9x13 inch pan for the texture and thickness described in this recipe. If you want thicker bars, use an 8x8 inch pan, but the bars will be denser and need a bit longer to cool.

Can I make these nut-free?

Absolutely. This base recipe is nut-free. Just avoid adding nuts or products with cross-contamination if you need strict nut-free handling. Read labels on chocolate and marshmallows if allergies are a concern.

How do I get neat slices?

Chill the pan thoroughly and use a sharp knife. Wipe the knife between cuts. For the cleanest edges, warm the knife under hot water, dry it, and slice quickly.

Are there gluten-free Golden Grahams options?

If you can find a gluten-free honey-flavored cereal similar to Golden Grahams, this recipe will work fine. Check the cereal label to make sure it is certified gluten-free. The rest of the ingredients are naturally gluten-free unless stated otherwise on their labels.
