Notes
- Storage: These keep well in an airtight container on the counter for up to 1 week. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months, then thaw before enjoying.
- Spray your hands: You can spray your hands with cooking spray to help keep the bars from sticking too much when you press them into the pan.
- Microwave method: If you prefer not to use the stovetop, you can melt the butter and marshmallows in the microwave by heating for 60 seconds, then stirring and heating for an addition 15-30 seconds as needed until the mixture is smooth.
