Notes
For a bakery-style finish, drizzle melted white chocolate over the cooled bars and sprinkle with a little extra flaky sea salt. The sweet-salty contrast makes these bars stand out from traditional cereal treats and gives them a flavor that's closer to a gourmet snack bar than a basic marshmallow square. 💕
