The dessert has two main layers: a bottom layer of crunchy, light brown cereal squares, and a top layer of melted, glossy milk chocolate mixed with white marshmallows that are partially melted and soft, creating a swirled texture. The chocolate covers the cereal unevenly, with some marshmallows peeking through, adding a fluffy contrast to the crunchy cereal. The piece in the front has a bite taken out of it, showing the layered texture inside. The background is a white marbled surface with a few small white marshmallows scattered around.

  • 4 tbsp Butter
  • 1 1/2 cups Chocolate Chips
  • 5 cups Mini-Marshmallows
  • 2 additional cups Mini-Marshmallows
  • 1/4 cup Light Karo Syrup
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with non-stick spray to prevent sticking. Set it aside for later.
  2. Set the Cereal Aside: Pour the 6 cups of Golden Grahams cereal into a large mixing bowl and set it aside while you prepare the marshmallow mixture.
  3. Melt Butter and Mix Ingredients: In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the 4 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips, 5 cups of mini marshmallows, 1/4 cup of light Karo syrup, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Continuously stir the mixture gently to incorporate all ingredients until it becomes smooth and fully melted together.
  4. Combine with Cereal: Immediately pour the melted mixture over the Golden Grahams cereal in the bowl. Stir thoroughly to coat all the cereal evenly with the chocolate and marshmallow mixture. Then fold in the additional 2 cups of mini marshmallows to add extra chewiness.
  5. Press into Pan: Transfer the coated cereal mixture into the prepared 9 x 13 pan. Use a spatula or your hands (lightly greased) to press the mixture down evenly and firmly into the pan.
  6. Optional Topping: If desired, sprinkle some extra mini marshmallows on top for a decorative, gooey finish.
  7. Cool and Set: Allow the bars to cool and set at room temperature for at least 1 hour before slicing into squares and serving.
