Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 6 cups Golden Grahams cereal
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Notes
- You can substitute light corn syrup (Karo syrup) with golden syrup or honey if preferred.
- Press the mixture firmly into the pan to ensure bars hold together well.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For a fudgier texture, add an extra 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.
- These bars do not require baking, making them a quick and easy no-cook dessert.
