Top Tips for Perfecting S’mores Rice Krispies Treats Pinwheels

• Substitutions: If you’d like to switch up the flavors, consider substituting the chocolate chips with halal caramel bits for a different twist.
• Timing: Be careful not to overheat the marshmallows, as they can become too sticky to work with. Maintain low heat and work quickly when rolling the mixture.
• Avoid Common Mistakes: If the mixture is too sticky, lightly butter your hands while shaping the pinwheels. This makes handling easier without compromising taste!
