Golden Grahams S'mores Bars
These no-bake Golden Grahams S'mores Bars combine gooey marshmallows, milk chocolate, and honey-kissed cereal for an easy dessert that captures all the magic of campfire s'mores without needing a flame.
Equipment
- Large saucepan
- 9x13-inch baking pan
- Rubber spatula
Ingredients
- 7 cups Golden Grahams cereal
- 6 cups mini marshmallows divided (5 cups for melting, 1 cup to stir in)
- 1½ cups milk chocolate chips
- 5 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup light corn syrup or substitute ¼ cup sugar + 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Generously butter a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- In a large saucepan over low heat, combine 5 cups mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, butter, and corn syrup. Stir continuously with a rubber spatula for 5-7 minutes until completely melted and smooth.
- Remove the pan from heat immediately once the mixture is fully melted and glossy.
- Working quickly, add the Golden Grahams cereal and remaining 1 cup mini marshmallows. Fold everything together with the spatula until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press down firmly with the back of your spatula (lightly grease the spatula to prevent sticking). Create an even layer across the entire pan.
- Let the bars set at room temperature for 1 hour, or refrigerate for 30 minutes until firm enough to cut.
- Cut into 16 bars using a sharp knife. Run the knife under hot water and dry it between cuts for cleaner edges.
Notes
Storage: Keep bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, with parchment paper between layers. Freeze individually wrapped bars for up to 3 months.
Texture Tip: For crunchier bars, use 8 cups of cereal instead of 7. For extra gooey bars, stick with 7 cups.
Substitutions: Use vegan marshmallows and dairy-free chocolate chips for a plant-based version. Honey or agave syrup can replace corn syrup.
