- If you don't have mini marshmallows, you can substitute them with regular marshmallows cut into smaller pieces.
- For an extra crunch, try adding in some chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the mixture before pouring it into the baking dish.
- If you want to make these squares healthier, you can use brown rice cereal instead of the traditional Rice Krispies cereal.
