Golden Graham S’mores take the essence of a classic campfire treat and turn it into a no-bake, easy-to-make dessert that can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere. This recipe cleverly uses Golden Grahams cereal to capture the crunch and honey flavor of the traditional graham cracker, while chocolate chips and mini marshmallows meld together to create the gooey, melted contrast that is quintessential to any s’more.
Ingredients:
- 6 cups Golden Grahams cereal
- 1 bag (10 oz) mini marshmallows (plus extra for topping)
- 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Prepare the pan: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray. Set aside.
- Melt the marshmallows: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the marshmallows and stir continuously until they are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Mix the cereal and chocolate: Pour the Golden Grahams into the marshmallow mixture. Add the chocolate chips and gently fold everything together, ensuring the cereal is evenly coated. Be quick to prevent the chocolate chips from completely melting.
- Form the bars: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Using a greased spatula or your buttered hands, press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan. Sprinkle additional marshmallows and chocolate chips over the top for extra gooeyness and flavor.
- Cool: Allow the bars to set at room temperature until firm, about 1 hour. You can also refrigerate them for 30 minutes to speed up the setting process.
- Serve: Once set, cut into squares and serve. Enjoy the nostalgic taste of s’mores without the need for a campfire!
Golden Graham S’mores bars are a crunchy, chewy delight that combines all the beloved flavors of a traditional s’more in a simple, grab-and-go treat that’s sure to please crowds of all ages.
