FAQs

1. Can I use store-bought graham cracker crumbs instead of crushing whole crackers? Yes, pre-made crumbs can be used for convenience.


2. Can I substitute the marshmallow fluff with marshmallows? While fluff is recommended for its smooth texture, mini marshmallows can be used as a substitution.


3. How can I prevent the marshmallows from burning during the final bake? Keep an eye on the brownies in the oven and adjust the baking time as needed to lightly brown the marshmallows without burning them.
