S'mores Cereal Bars

The use of cocoa powder gives this a great chocolate flavor without making it overly sweet, given the addition of marshmallows twice. Use semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips to give it another depth of flavor.

Ingredients

  • 10 ounces regular size marshmallows
  • 1/4 cup corn syrup
  • 6 tablespoons butter unsalted
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 8 cups Golden Grahams
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows

Instructions

  • In a heavy saucepan, melt together your large marshmallows, corn syrup, and butter, stirring occasionally.
    10 ounces regular size marshmallows, 1/4 cup corn syrup, 6 tablespoons butter
  • While this is melting, grease a 13x9 pan with butter on the bottoms and sides. Add your Golden Grahams to a large bowl.

  • Once your marshmallows have melted, remove from the heat. Add the cocoa powder and stir until incorporated. Add the vanilla and do the same.
    1/4 cup cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • Immediately pour the marshmallow mixture over the cereal and stir gently to avoid crushing cereal where possible.
  • Once it is mostly mixed together, add chocolate chips and mini marshmallows. Stir again until all the cereal is thoroughly coated and the extra ingredients are distributed evenly throughout.

  • Pour the mixture into your greased 13x9 pan and gently use your (greased) fingers to spread into an even layer throughout the pan. Let harden in the pan at room temperature for at least two hours.
  • Cut with a sharp knife when ready to serve. This will store at room temperature, tightly sealed, for up to three days.

Notes

  • I used dark corn syrup in this recipe, but for a more classic flavor, light corn syrup is recommended.
