Base Mix
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 16 ounces mini marshmallows
- 8 cups Golden Grahams cereal
- 1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
Topping
- 5 ounces mini marshmallows
- 1/4 cup Golden Grahams cereal
- 1/4 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
- Prepare the Dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly and set it aside to ensure the s’mores bars don’t stick once pressed.
- Melt Butter: In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the 6 tablespoons of butter almost completely, making sure not to burn it.
- Add Marshmallows: Add 16 ounces of mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir continuously until the marshmallows are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Remove from Heat: Take the saucepan off the heat to prevent further cooking.
- Mix in Cereal: Stir in 8 cups of Golden Grahams cereal until the mixture is uniformly combined with the marshmallow-butter base.
- Add Remaining Marshmallows and Chocolate Chips: Fold in the remaining 5 ounces of mini marshmallows and 1/2 cup of mini semisweet chocolate chips, mixing gently to distribute evenly.
- Press into Dish: Firmly press the cereal mixture into the prepared baking dish to create a compact and even layer.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of Golden Grahams cereal and 1/4 cup of mini semisweet chocolate chips evenly over the pressed layer for an appealing crunch and extra chocolate flavor.
- Cool and Serve: Let the bars cool to room temperature so they set properly before cutting into squares and serving.
Notes
- Use low heat when melting butter and marshmallows to avoid burning.
- Press the mixture firmly into the pan to help the bars hold their shape.
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality semisweet chocolate chips.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For a variation, try adding chopped nuts or using different flavored cereals.
