No-Bake S'mores Treats
Description
The recipe starts by melting butter and marshmallows together on the stove, then folding in Golden Grahams cereal to coat it well. The mixture is pressed firmly into a greased pan using a buttered spatula, which ensures the bars hold their shape once set. Melted milk chocolate chips are drizzled on top for added richness and a smooth finish. Chilling these bars allows the chocolate to firm up and the bars to become easier to cut.
Golden Grahams add a honeyed crunch that aligns with traditional graham cracker texture, a key s’mores component. The marshmallow and butter mixture gives a chewy and tender bite reminiscent of melted marshmallows. Drizzling the chocolate rather than mixing it in keeps a nice contrast in texture and appearance.
These no-bake treats are suitable when you want the flavor of s’mores with minimal preparation or no oven time. The bars can be stored in an airtight container once cooled, maintaining freshness for snacking later.
Using less cereal (around 7 cups) produces a gooier texture for those preferring softer bars.
Ingredients
- 1/4 /4 cup butter cubed
- 1 package (10 ounces) miniature or large marshmallows
- 1 package (12 ounces) Golden Grahams (about 8 cups)
- 1/3 /3 cup milk chocolate chips melted
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows (reserving a handful for the top); cook and stir until blended. Remove from heat. Stir in cereal until well coated.
- Using a buttered spatula, press firmly into a greased 13x9-in. pan. Melt chocolate in microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between until melted. Using a fork, drizzle bars with melted chocolate chips. Cool completely. Cut into bars. Store in an airtight container.
Notes
- Reduce the cereal quantity to about 7 cups for extra gooey bars with a softer texture.
- Press the mixture firmly into the pan with a buttered spatula to ensure firm bars that hold together.
- Store bars in an airtight container to keep them fresh for several days.
