Ingredients

5 cups mini marshmallows
1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
5 tablespoons butter (or margarine)
1/4 cup corn syrup*
7 cups Golden Grahams cereal
1 cup mini marshmallows

Instructions

Step 1: Butter or grease a 9×13 inch baking pan to prepare for the mixture.
Step 2: In a large saucepan, combine 5 cups of mini marshmallows, the milk chocolate chips, butter, and corn syrup.
Step 3: Melt the mixture together over low heat, gently stirring with a rubber spatula until smooth and fully combined.
Step 4: Remove the pan from the heat and immediately stir in the Golden Grahams cereal along with the remaining 1 cup of mini marshmallows. The mixture will be very sticky.
Step 5: Spoon the sticky batter into the prepared pan and flatten it down using the back of a spatula. Lightly greasing the spatula can help prevent sticking.
Step 6: Allow the bars to harden at room temperature for about 60 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra gooey bars, try adding a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers on top before the mixture sets.
Substitute semi-sweet or white chocolate chips for a different chocolate flavor.
Use honey instead of corn syrup for a more natural sweetener, but note it may alter the texture slightly.
Press the mixture firmly into the pan to ensure bars hold together well when cut.

Storage

Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week. If refrigerated, allow the bars to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture. These bars do not freeze well due to their marshmallow content.

How to Serve

The image shows two stacked layered squares of a dessert made with chocolate-coated cereal and small white marshmallows on a piece of white parchment paper. The top square has a textured surface with pieces of golden cereal bound together by shiny, melted chocolate, with visible small white marshmallows tucked within. The stack sits on a wooden surface, and in the background, there is a clear glass filled with fresh white milk, along with scattered small marshmallows and cereal pieces.

FAQs

Can I use regular-sized marshmallows instead of mini marshmallows?

Yes, you can chop regular-sized marshmallows into smaller pieces before melting to ensure they melt quickly and evenly in the recipe.

Is corn syrup necessary for this recipe?

Corn syrup helps create a smooth, sticky texture that holds the bars together well, but you can substitute honey or golden syrup if necessary. Keep in mind that this may slightly change the texture and taste.
