- 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
- Prepare the Pan: Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with non-stick spray to prevent sticking. Set it aside for later.
- 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.

Continuously stir the mixture gently to incorporate all ingredients until it becomes smooth and fully melted together.

- 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.
- Optional Topping: If desired, sprinkle some extra mini marshmallows on top for a decorative, gooey finish.
- Cool and Set: Allow the bars to cool and set at room temperature for at least 1 hour before slicing into squares and serving.
