Introduction

These Golden Grahams S’mores Bars are a delightful twist on a classic campfire treat. Combining crispy cereal, gooey marshmallows, and rich chocolate, they’re perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth any time of year.

The image shows a stack of three thick squares of chocolatey cereal bars. Each square is made of a mix of crunchy light brown cereal pieces covered with glossy milk chocolate and small white marshmallows scattered throughout. The squares look moist and chewy with a rough texture on top from the cereal and marshmallows. The stack is placed on a square piece of parchment paper on a dark wooden surface. In the background, there is a clear glass filled with white milk and a white marbled surface. A few marshmallows and cereal pieces are scattered around. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

5 cups mini marshmallows
1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
5 tablespoons butter (or margarine)
1/4 cup corn syrup
7 cups Golden Grahams cereal
1 cup mini marshmallows (extra)

Instructions

Step 1: Butter or grease a 9×13 inch baking pan to prepare it for the bars.
Step 2: In a large saucepan, combine 5 cups of mini marshmallows, milk chocolate chips, butter, and corn syrup.
Step 3: Melt the mixture over low heat, stirring gently with a rubber spatula until smooth and fully combined.
Step 4: Remove the pan from heat and immediately stir in the Golden Grahams cereal along with the remaining 1 cup of mini marshmallows. The mixture will be very sticky.
Step 5: Spoon the sticky batter into the prepared baking pan and flatten it evenly using the back of a spatula. Lightly greasing the spatula can help prevent sticking.
Step 6: Let the bars cool and harden at room temperature for about 60 minutes before cutting into squares.

Tips & Variations

For a nuttier flavor, add 1/2 cup of chopped toasted almonds or walnuts when mixing in the cereal.
Substitute the milk chocolate chips with white chocolate or semi-sweet chips for a different taste.
Use light corn syrup or golden syrup as a substitute for regular corn syrup.
Press an extra sprinkle of mini marshmallows on top before the bars set for an extra gooey finish.

Storage

Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week. Before serving refrigerated bars, let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to soften slightly. Avoid freezing as it can alter the texture.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of cereal?

Yes, you can substitute Golden Grahams with cereals like Rice Krispies or Honey Nut Cheerios, but the texture and flavor will vary slightly.

Do I have to use corn syrup?

Corn syrup helps keep the bars chewy and sticky, but you can replace it with honey or golden syrup if you prefer a natural alternative.
