I'm allergic to peanuts. Do you think I could use a different nut butter in this recipe?

These bars were a bit too dense for my liking. I think I'll try using a different graham cracker crust next time.

I'm not a big fan of peanut butter, but I loved these bars! The marshmallow filling is so light and fluffy, and the chocolate ganache is the perfect finishing touch.

These bars are a little too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good. I think I'll try making them with half the amount of sugar next time.
