A close-up view of a thick square dessert bar made of layered golden-brown cereal squares mixed with gooey, shiny milk chocolate, along with a few small white marshmallows embedded on top and inside. The dessert rests on two pieces of white parchment paper on a white marbled surface, with scattered cereal pieces and marshmallows around it. To the right, there is a clear glass filled almost to the top with white milk. In the background, part of a glass baking dish filled with more of the dessert bar sits slightly out of focus.

Ingredients

5 cups mini marshmallows
1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
5 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/4 cup corn syrup (or substitute with 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon water)
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 mixture.
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 saucepan 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: Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan. Flatten and press down evenly using the back of a spatula, lightly greasing the spatula if needed to prevent sticking.
Step 6: Let the bars cool and harden at room temperature for about 60 minutes before cutting into squares.

Tips & Variations

If you don’t have corn syrup, substitute with 1/4 cup granulated sugar mixed with 1 tablespoon water to achieve similar texture.
Lightly greasing your spatula when pressing the mixture into the pan helps prevent sticking and gives a smooth top.
Add a handful of chopped nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before setting for extra flavor.

Storage

Store the s’mores bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Avoid refrigerating as it can make them too hard. To enjoy, simply let them come to room temperature if chilled.

How to Serve

The image shows a square piece of a snack made with layers of golden brown cereal squares mixed with melted chocolate and some white marshmallows on top and inside. The texture looks sticky and gooey from the chocolate that binds the cereal pieces together. The snack is placed on a small square piece of parchment paper on a surface with a white marbled texture. In the background, there is a glass of white milk on the right side, almost full, and a large dish filled with more of the same snack, slightly out of focus. One marshmallow and some cereal pieces lie scattered near the snack. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
