Introduction

These Golden Grahams S’mores Bars combine the classic flavors of gooey marshmallows, rich chocolate, and crispy cereal into one irresistible treat. Easy to make and perfect for sharing, they bring the campfire favorite right to your kitchen.

A stack of two thick, square-shaped dessert bars is shown, each bar consisting of visible layers of crunchy brown cereal pieces coated unevenly with a glossy layer of melted chocolate, with small white marshmallows scattered throughout the top layer. The bars are set on a square piece of white parchment paper on a rustic wooden surface. Beside the stack, there are a few extra marshmallows and cereal pieces scattered loosely. In the background, a clear glass filled with white milk is visible, sitting on the wooden surface. The setting is simple with warm tones and natural light. 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

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 fully combined and smooth.
Step 4: Remove the pan from heat and immediately stir in the Golden Grahams cereal and the remaining 1 cup of mini marshmallows; the mixture will be very sticky.
Step 5: Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan and press it down evenly using the back of your spatula. Lightly greasing the spatula can help with this step.
Step 6: Let the bars cool and harden at room temperature for about 60 minutes before cutting into squares.

Tips & Variations

Use light corn syrup to help the mixture bind without overpowering the sweetness.
For a nutty twist, add chopped toasted nuts like almonds or pecans to the cereal mixture before pressing.
Try swapping the milk chocolate chips for dark chocolate to balance the sweetness.
Lightly greasing your spatula prevents sticking when pressing the mixture into the pan.

Storage

Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to keep them fresh and chewy. For longer storage, refrigerate and bring to room temperature before serving. These bars do not reheat well but taste great chilled or at room temperature.

How to Serve

Two layers of a square dessert bar sit stacked on top of each other, each layer made up of golden brown cereal pieces coated in shiny milk chocolate with small white marshmallows scattered throughout, creating a textured, chunky look. The bars rest on a small square piece of white parchment paper on a wood surface, with more cereal pieces and marshmallows scattered nearby and a clear glass filled with white milk in the background. The scene is set on a white marbled texture. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use another cereal instead of Golden Grahams?

Yes, you can substitute with cereals like Rice Krispies or a similar crunchy cereal, but the flavor and texture will vary slightly from the classic s’mores taste.

Is there a way to make these bars less sticky to handle?

Lightly greasing your hands and spatula before shaping the mixture helps manage stickiness. Also, allowing the mixture to cool slightly after stirring in the cereal can make it easier to work with.
