- 4. Turn oven to highest broiler setting. Sprinkle marshmallows on top of bars and place pan or pans on lowest rack so there is plenty of space between heat and marshmallows. Leave oven door ajar and rotate pan after they begin to brown. Marshmallows are done when they are dark golden brown on top. Remove pan or pans to cool on a wire rack. Place pan in freezer for 5-8 minutes for easier cutting. --- Note: These freeze well if marshmallows are left off the ones you want to freeze. After freezing -thaw at room temperature for 20 minutes then put the marshmallows on and place under the broiler as above.

[email protected]These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

[email protected]I made these bars last week and they were delicious! The only change I made was using maple syrup instead of brown sugar. They were a big hit with my family and friends.
