Substitutions & Variations

Nut-free - Use pretzels or crispy rice cereal in place of nuts for a similar crunch.

Add-ins - Try mini marshmallows, crushed candy canes, or dried cranberries for a fun twist.

💭Crucial Success Tips

Don't skip stirring after the first hour. Mixing helps coat everything evenly and prevents any burning on the bottom.
