FAQs
Can I use a different cereal instead of Golden Grahams?
Yes, cereals like Rice Krispies or Cinnamon Toast Crunch can be substituted, but they will change the flavor and texture slightly.
Do I have to use Karo syrup?
Karo syrup helps keep the bars chewy and sticky, but you can substitute light corn syrup or honey if needed, though the texture might vary slightly.
