FAQs
Can I use frozen raspberries instead of fresh?
Frozen raspberries can add extra moisture, which might make the bars less firm. If using frozen, thaw and drain them well before mixing to minimize this.
What can I use if I don’t have rice cereal?
Light, crunchy cereals like cornflakes or puffed wheat can be used as substitutes, but the texture and taste will vary slightly from the original recipe.
