- Use fresh marshmallows for the best results. Old marshmallows can become tough and hard to melt. - For an extra crunchy texture, try adding some crushed graham crackers or cereal to the mixture. - To make the squares easier to cut, spray your knife with cooking spray before slicing through the mixture.
