Followed recipe exactly and got really dry bars. Tried to cut but the marshmallow stuck and would come off the top of the bars. Bummer!

I followed the direction and was not happy with the results. I tried it again the next day...I followed the recipe from the box and the last minute or so...added the marshmallows(not too much) and m&m candies. It was delicious and tasty. I would definitely do it again--the way I did...follow the directions from the box...

I just made the cake mix as directed, baked for about 25 minutes (toothpick clean) then followed the topping instructions and few more minutes baking. Tasted great & not too sweet. My only complaint is that they are difficult to cut because the marshmallow sticks & the topping will separate from the cake. They taste awesome & look awesome when the topping stays put (or you lay it back on top). Fun!

I followed the recipe exactly and used a super moist cake mix to avoid the dryness issue. The bars came out great and tasted delicious. I had no problem with the 'crust' falling apart. I think they will be a hit at my daughter's bake sale!

Our bars turned out great and the kids loved them at our christmas party. They were a little sweet for me but I loved how festive they looked.

The Fun Marshmallow Bars were extremely dry. The crust literally fell apart from lack of moisture. I followed the recipe exactly. If I were to ever make them again, I would have to alter it to include more moisture in the crust so that it stays together. They did taste good though.
