Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I use puffed rice instead of Rice Krispies?
Yes, puffed rice works but may create a lighter, less crunchy texture.
2. Do the caramel and chocolate layers need to be completely cool before adding the next layer?
Yes, this helps prevent the layers from mixing and keeps the bars neat.
3. Can these bars be frozen?
Yes, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Freeze up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
