My mom made these dressy, sweet cookies for cookie exchanges when I was a little girl, letting me sprinkle on the almonds and coconut. They're so easy to fix that sometimes I can't wait 'til Christmas to make a batch. —Dawn Burns, Lake St. Louis, Missouri

these are to die for. once you starting eatting them you can't stop. thank you to rayemi for tell me to sray the foil and to score them after 5 min and the remove after 10 min. I have another recipe like this that stick to the foil and that was the trick. they scored so easy and came out without any problem. watch out you might eat the whole pan yourself.

I have been making this recipe since seeing it in TOH years ago. I spray the foil with nonstick spray and bake for about 18 minutes, just until the marshmallows are lightly browned. When they come out of the oven, I let them cool for about 5 minutes and then score them. I let them cool about 10 minutes more and then remove them from the foil onto a cooling rack. The first time I made them I let them cool completely and the foil stuck, making them inedible. I've also noticed that the longer I cook the sugar/butter mixture in the saucepan, the crispier the cookies turn out. These are a hit wherever I take them, and I have many requests for the recipe.

made a few changes to this sweet..simple..tasty treat; litely buttered foil, then placed graham crackers to foil. added 3/4 cup of milk chocolate & peanut butter morsels. topped the marshmellows w/ morsels, coconut, pecans, and crumbled 2 sheet of graham crackers sprinkled over top..baked 15 minutes. WONDERFUL & EASY DESSERT. for the holiday color coconut w/ red or green food coloring!!

Wow, these are amazing! The marshmellows melt into the carmel mix, which leaves the graham crackers soft and slightly chewy. It's delicious! I sprayed the foil with non-stick and didn't have any problems with sticking.
