Tips & Variations

• For a peanut butter twist, melt 1/4 cup peanut butter with the butter to add richness and flavor.
• Use dark or milk chocolate chips depending on your preference for sweetness.
• Press the mixture firmly into the pan to help the bars hold together better.
• Try adding a handful of chopped nuts or pretzels for extra crunch.

Storage

FAQs

Can I use a different cereal instead of Golden Grahams?

Yes, cereals like Rice Krispies or Cinnamon Toast Crunch can be substituted, but they will change the flavor and texture slightly.

Do I have to use Karo syrup?

Karo syrup helps keep the bars chewy and sticky, but you can substitute light corn syrup or honey if needed, though the texture might vary slightly.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pan: Spray a 9 x 13 inch pan with non-stick cooking spray and set it aside to ensure the bars do not stick after setting.
2. Combine Cereal: Pour the Golden Grahams cereal into a large mixing bowl and set it aside, ready to be coated with the marshmallow mixture.
3. Melt Ingredients: In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the chocolate chips, 5 cups of mini marshmallows, light Karo syrup, and vanilla extract to the pan.
4. Mix Until Smooth: Stir continuously over low heat until the chocolate chips and marshmallows have fully melted and combined into a smooth, glossy mixture.
5. Combine with Cereal: Immediately pour the melted mixture over the Golden Grahams cereal. Stir thoroughly until all the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow chocolate mixture.
6. Add Extra Marshmallows: Gently fold in the additional 2 cups of mini marshmallows to add extra gooey texture and sweetness.
7. Press and Set: Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan and press it down evenly using a spatula or your hands to compact the bars. Optionally, sprinkle more mini marshmallows on top for decoration.
8. Cool and Serve: Allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature so they set firmly before cutting into squares and serving.

Notes

• For easier cutting, let the bars cool completely or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• You can substitute light Karo syrup with corn syrup or honey, but it will slightly alter the texture.
• Add a pinch of salt in the melted mixture to enhance the sweetness.
• The extra marshmallows mix-in adds chewiness but can be omitted if preferred.
• Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
