Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use marshmallows instead of condensed milk?
A: No—condensed milk is essential for that chewy, caramel-like texture. Marshmallows make Rice Krispie Treats (delicious, but different!).
Q: Why are my bars too soft?
A: Likely under-pressed base or cut too soon. Next time: press hard and chill fully.
Q: Can I make these dairy-free?
A: Yes! Use coconut condensed milk, dairy-free chocolate chips, and coconut oil.
Q: Can I use butterscotch chips?
A: Absolutely! Try a layer of butterscotch + chocolate for a Butterfinger-inspired bar—your fave!
Q: Are they gluten-free?
A: Yes—if using GF cereal and verified GF chocolate.
