Golden Graham’s S’mores bars

Golden Graham’s S’mores Bars are a delightful, no-bake treat that combines the classic flavors of s’mores – marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers – in a convenient bar form. This recipe is perfect for when you’re craving the taste of s’mores without the need for a campfire. They’re easy to make and are a hit at gatherings or as a special treat for the family. Here’s how you can make them:

Ingredients:

  • 8 cups Golden Graham cereal
  • 1 bag (10 oz) mini marshmallows (plus an extra cup for mixing in at the end, optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips (semi-sweet chocolate chips work too)
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup (optional, it helps keep the mixture from crystallizing and becoming too hard)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt (optional, enhances the flavors)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Pan:
    • Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray. Alternatively, you can line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. Melt the Ingredients:
    • In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the chocolate chips, corn syrup (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir until the chocolate chips are melted and the mixture is smooth.
    • Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
