Ingredients
- 6 cups Golden Grahams cereal
- 4 cups mini marshmallows (about 10 ounces)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Prepare the pan: Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the bars.
- Melt butter and marshmallows: In a large saucepan over low heat, melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Add 4 cups of mini marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth, ensuring the mixture doesn’t burn.
- Combine cereal and chocolate chips: Remove the melted marshmallow mixture from heat. Quickly stir in 6 cups of Golden Grahams cereal and 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips, mixing until all the cereal is evenly coated and the chocolate is slightly melted.
- Press mixture into pan: Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan and press it firmly and evenly using a spatula or wax paper to create compact bars.
- Cool and set: Allow the bars to cool at room temperature for about 1 hour or until set and firm to the touch.
- Slice and serve: Once firm, cut into squares or bars and enjoy your classic Golden Grahams S’mores Bars!
Notes
- For a variation, try adding chopped nuts or substituting chocolate chips with white chocolate or peanut butter chips.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
- Pressing the mixture firmly helps the bars hold together better when cut.
- If the marshmallow mixture is too stiff, warm it a little longer to ensure it coats the cereal well.
