Smores Bars
These s'mores bars combine butter-melted marshmallows with Golden Grahams cereal, topped with melted chocolate chips and extra marshmallows for added texture. After the mixture is pressed into a pan and chilled, the bars become a chewy, sweet treat that captures the essence of classic campfire s'mores in an easy-to-cut bar form. The toasted edges and gooey marshmallow center create a contrast in texture that makes these bars a popular dessert or snack.
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.
