Smores Bars
Description
Smores Bars begin with melting butter and miniature marshmallows together in a pot to create a smooth and sticky base. The Golden Grahams cereal is then folded into the marshmallow mixture, ensuring each piece is well coated. Pressing this mixture evenly into a foil-lined and greased 9x13-inch pan sets the foundation for the bars. Optionally, extra mini marshmallows are sprinkled on top before drizzling melted semi-sweet chocolate chips in a decorative pattern. The bars then chill and set to develop a firm yet chewy texture that can be easily sliced.
The flavor combines the sweetness of marshmallows and chocolate with the slight crunch and maltiness of the Golden Grahams cereal, recreating the layered experience of traditional s'mores. These bars do not require baking making them convenient for quick preparation. Serving them as a handheld dessert or party treat is easy, and their sturdy texture holds together well.
For storage, keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. This helps maintain the chewiness without drying out. Their straightforward ingredients and preparation also allow for easy customization, such as adding nuts or swapping chocolate types according to preference.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter diced into small cubes, unsalted
- miniature marshmallows plus 1/2 cup extra for sprinkling optional, one 10-ounce bag
- Golden Grahams cereal one 11.7-ounce box
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips melted, semi-sweet
Instructions
- Line a 9×13-inch pan with aluminum foil for easier cleanup and spray with cooking spray; set aside.
- To a large pot, add the butter, marshmallows, and heat over medium-low heat until marshmallows and butter have melted and are smooth; stir nearly constantly to avoid burning.
- Add the cereal, toss to coat, and turn mixture out into the prepared pan.
- Optionally, evenly sprinkle 1/2 cup marshmallows over the top; set aside.
- To a small, microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and heat on high power to melt for 30 seconds. Stop every 15 seconds to check and stir until chocolate can be stirred smooth. Evenly drizzle the chocolate over the bars.
- Set pan aside to cool for about 30 minutes, or until bars have set up enough to slice and serve.
Notes
- Store the s'mores bars airtight at room temperature for up to one week to keep them soft.
- To melt chocolate chips smoothly, heat in short intervals and stir frequently to prevent burning.
- Press the cereal mixture firmly into the pan for bars that hold together well when sliced.
- Optional marshmallows sprinkled on top add extra texture and chewiness.
