• Use chocolate graham crackers for a richer crust.

Storage/Reheating

Store the tart covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For the best texture, keep it chilled until ready to serve.

For longer storage, freeze the tart without the marshmallow topping for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before decorating and serving.
