Can I make these bars gluten-free?

Yes! Simply substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking flour blend and use gluten-free graham crackers. The result is just as delicious and chewy.

Why did my bars come out cakey instead of chewy?

Cakey bars are usually the result of overmixing the dough or measuring too much flour. Spoon flour into your measuring cup and level with a knife rather than scooping directly, which compacts the flour and adds more than intended.

Can I double this recipe?

Absolutely. Double all ingredients and bake in two separate 9x13 pans or one larger sheet pan. Check for doneness a few minutes earlier if using a thinner spread layer.
