Golden Graham S’more Bars
Source: CDKitchen.com
Ingredients:
1 10 oz. bag mini marshmallows (Approx. 6 cups)
1 12 oz. package semi sweet chocolate chips
5 tbsp. butter (I used 2 1/2 tbsp. butter & 2 1/2 tbsp. smart balance to save even more calories)
8 cups Golden Graham cereal (one 12 oz. box)
1 tsp. vanilla (optional)
Directions:
Place package of chocolate chips in the freezer to chill. Spray a 9 x 13 baking pan, set aside.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a pot over medium heat. Once butter is melted, add in 5 cups of marshmallows and stir until almost completely melted. Stir in vanilla if desired. Remove from heat and transfer butter mixture to a large mixing bowl and add cereal, stirring to coat. Once cereal is coated, remove chocolate chips from freezer and add to cereal mixture. Also add in the remaining cup of marshmallows. Gently stir until evenly distributed.
Press cereal mixture into prepared baking pan. Cover and refrigerate until set. Turn out onto cutting board and cut into squares. Keep stored in an air tight container in the refrigerator.Makes approximately 20-24 bars depending on how big you cut them.

These look delicious! I've never had Golden Grahams cereal…but I may need to go get some soon.
This looks perfect…love this dish..Thanks for your recipe dear…
Dang it, where's scratch and sniff when you need it. These look amazing…I've been craving smores lately, I guess it's the summer cravings.
Bookmarking these!
Making these today for College son to take back to dorm with him.
Hope he likes them!
Oh, dang, you just hit a nutritionist’s soft spot…Golden Grahams were the best!
Just made these, yummy! My husband and son love the golden graham bars you can buy at the store – now I can make them, just as good tasting, at a fraction of the cost
So glad you enjoyed them! We love those bars at the store too! They were the inspiration for these bars:)
My MIL loves nearly anything with marshmallow and really likes s’mores, so I am making these for her as a special treat for cooking Thanksgiving dinner for all of us. =)
That is so sweet of you! I hope she likes them!
I just made these and of course, I had to do a little “quality assurance.” They passed, as much as I wanted them to “fail” so I could keep them and eat them at home. I had a small, but still decent sized, amount that would not mesh with the rest of it, so that became my sampling piece. Super easy recipe, Stephanie!
So glad they turned out great!! Of course we always have to try some for quality assurance!:) Happy Thanksgiving Erin!
Made them this morning. Sooo simple and sooo yummy!
Yeah! So glad you enjoyed them!
I am a decent baker but seem to have trouble when it comes to incorporating any treats of this sort. The marshmallows become stringy while I’m stirring it all together. These did come together nicely but I will need to chill my chips a little longer. Mine got a little too melted and made them look not so yummy as the ones that you photographed. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. Even if mine didn’t look as nice, they sure tasted delicious and the entire family loved them!!! On a side note, my four year old daughter has a sweet tooth but she also has a severe peanut allergy. She was delighted with these as I found store brand choc chips that were not processed in a plant with peanuts. It’s nice to make her a treat that she can enjoy!
Glad your family enjoyed them and that you could find choc chips that were peanut free!:)
Oh my goodness were these wonderfully awesome!! I made a batch for our early family Christmas get together this weekend, and I swear they were more than half gone even before the ham came out of the oven. Next time I’ll put the chocolate chips in the freezer a bit earlier as mine still melted quite a bit when mixed in, but either way, delicious!!! Thanks for sharing!
So glad you enjoyed them!!
I used fiber one caramel delight cereal to add a little more healthy touch. Tastes amazing!!! Kids love it
Thanks so much for the recipe. I made these for work today as a birthday treat…..very easy to make and looked just like the pic.
Oops spelled my own name wrong….lol
So glad you enjoyed them!:)
Of all the the things I have pinned on Pinterest this is the one rescipe that I have made the most. I love that I can make it ahead of time. Also, after they are made they still taste good a week after being in the fridge. That is, IF they are any left. My friands and family have dubbed them crack bars, because they are so addictive. Thank you for posting this recipe! It’s a huge hit everywhere I have brought these bars.
Thank you so much Amanda! That makes my day!:) So glad you love them!
my friend made these and took them to school yesterday i had one and now im additcted (:
I know what you mean!! They can be very addictive!:)
I was wondering about using marshmallow cream instead of marshmallows. I’m a vegetarian and don’t do marshmallows but there is no gelatin in the cream. Do you have any experience with this adaptation?
I haven’t ever made these using just marshmallow creme but you could try still melting some of the marshmallow creme with the butter and then holding out some of it to stir in with the chocolate chips to give it that s’mores look. Let me know if it works out!
Love that these are kinda low-cal!
THanks for linking up
My pleasure!! Thanks for hosting!:)
These look out-flipping-standing! I adore Golden Grahams and can’t wait to make them myself!
Thanks so much Tara!! These are always a big hit when I make them!
