Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter instead of margarine. If you want a crunchier texture, increase the Rice Krispies to 2 cups. You can also substitute the chocolate chips with white chocolate or butterscotch chips for a different taste. Ensure the graham crackers are evenly spaced on the cookie sheet for even baking. For added flavor, mix in some chopped nuts or dried fruit.
