Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups Golden Grahams cereal
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Extra mini marshmallows and chocolate chips for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients and measuring them out. This will make the process smoother and more efficient.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add the 6 cups of Golden Grahams cereal. Set aside.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt the 1/2 cup of unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  4. Once the butter is melted, add the 1 cup of creamy peanut butter to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  5. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the 1 cup of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Mix until everything is fully incorporated and the mixture is thick and creamy.
  6. Pour the peanut butter mixture over the Golden Grahams cereal in the large mixing bowl.
  7. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold the mixture together. Be careful not to crush the cereal; you want to keep the texture intact.
  8. Once the cereal is evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture, add in the 1 cup of mini marshmallows and 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Fold these in gently until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  9. Prepare a 9×13 inch baking dish by greasing it lightly with cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  10. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Using a spatula or your hands (dampened to prevent sticking), press the mixture firmly into the pan. Make sure it is evenly distributed and compacted.
  11. If desired, sprinkle extra mini marshmallows and chocolate chips on top of the pressed mixture for added texture and visual appeal.
  12. Allow the bars to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This will help them set properly.
  13. If you want to speed up the process, you can place the baking dish in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes.
  14. Once cooled and set, use a sharp knife to cut the bars into squares or rectangles, depending on your preference.
  15. Store the Golden Grahams S’mores Bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. If you want to keep them fresh for longer, you can refrigerate them, but allow them to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
  16. For longer storage, consider freezing the bars. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container. They can be frozen for up to three months. Thaw in the refrigerator or at room temperature before enjoying.
  17. These bars are perfect for parties, picnics, or as a sweet treat after dinner. Serve them alongside a glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
  18. For a fun twist, consider drizzling melted chocolate or caramel sauce over the top before serving.
  19. Feel free to customize the bars by adding other mix-ins such as crushed graham crackers, nuts, or different types of chocolate chips (like white chocolate or dark chocolate) to suit your taste.
  20. Make sure to measure your ingredients accurately for the best results. Too much of any ingredient can affect the texture and taste of the bars.
