Introduction

Golden Grahams S’mores Bars combine the nostalgic flavors of marshmallow, chocolate, and graham cereal for a delightful no-bake treat. These bars are easy to make and perfect for sharing at parties or enjoying as a sweet snack.

The image shows a close-up of a stack of three chewy bars made with square cereal pieces coated in melted chocolate and mixed with small white marshmallows. The top bar is the main focus, with the chocolate giving a shiny, smooth texture covering most of the light brown cereal squares on all sides. The bottom two bars appear slightly crumbled with an uneven rough texture. The stack sits on a small white paper square on a wooden surface, and a tall clear glass filled with white milk stands near the bars with some loose cereal pieces and marshmallows scattered around. The background is softly blurred, making the bars and milk the clear focus. 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 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 to prevent sticking or burning.
Step 4: Once melted completely, remove the pan from heat and place it on a heat-proof surface. 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 sticky batter into the prepared pan and flatten it evenly using the back of a spatula. Lightly greasing the spatula can make this easier.
Step 6: Allow the bars to harden at room temperature for about 60 minutes before cutting into squares.

Tips & Variations

Substitute corn syrup with honey or light molasses if you prefer a different sweetness profile.
For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate.
Add chopped nuts or dried fruit to the mixture for extra texture and taste.

Storage

Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To keep them softer, place a slice of bread in the container to maintain moisture. These bars do not reheat well, so they are best enjoyed fresh or at room temperature.

How to Serve

A square piece of a chocolate and cereal treat is placed on a small white parchment paper on a white marbled surface. The treat has multiple rough layers of golden brown cereal squares, bound together with shiny, melted milk chocolate that drips over the top and sides, giving a sticky look. Small white marshmallows are scattered on top, adding some contrast in color and texture. Behind the treat, there is a clear glass of white milk, partially visible on the right side. The background shows a glass dish filled with the same treat. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use a different cereal instead of Golden Grahams?

Yes, cereals like Rice Krispies or Honey Maid graham crumbs can be used as alternatives, but the flavor and texture will vary slightly.

Is corn syrup necessary in this recipe?

Corn syrup helps prevent the marshmallows from crystallizing and keeps the bars chewy. If unavailable, honey or light molasses can be used, but the texture may change slightly.

Notes

Lightly greasing your spatula helps to flatten the sticky mixture without it sticking to the spatula.
You can substitute margarine for butter if preferred.
Corn syrup helps give the bars a smooth texture and extra chewiness.
Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for best freshness.
For a chocolate variation, consider adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top before setting.
