• Press the mixture into silicone molds for fun individual servings.
• If you prefer a nuttier flavor, add chopped toasted almonds or walnuts to the mixture before pressing into the pan.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Base Mixture

• 6 tablespoons butter
• 16 ounces mini marshmallows
• 8 cups Golden Grahams cereal

Mix-ins

• 5 ounces mini marshmallows
• 1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips

Topping

• 1/4 cup Golden Grahams cereal
• 1/4 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Prepare the pan: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly and set it aside to ensure the s’mores mixture does not stick during cooling.
2. Melt the butter: Place a large saucepan over low heat and melt 6 tablespoons of butter until mostly liquified but not fully melted, to prevent burning.
3. Add marshmallows: Stir in 16 ounces of mini marshmallows into the melted butter and cook over low heat until completely melted and smooth, creating a sticky marshmallow base.
4. Remove from heat: Take the pan off the heat to stop the melting process and prevent overcooking.
5. Combine with cereal: Stir in 8 cups of Golden Grahams cereal until the mixture is evenly coated with the marshmallow blend.
6. Mix in extras: Add the remaining 5 ounces of mini marshmallows and 1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips to the cereal mixture. Stir gently to combine evenly without crushing the marshmallows.
7. Press into dish: Transfer the marshmallow cereal mixture into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula or lightly greased hands to press it firmly and evenly across the surface.
8. Add toppings: Sprinkle the top evenly with the remaining 1/4 cup Golden Grahams cereal and 1/4 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips for added texture and chocolate bursts.
9. Cool and serve: Allow the s’mores to cool to room temperature so they set properly before cutting into squares and serving.

Notes

• For easier pressing, lightly grease your spatula or hands to prevent sticking.
• You can substitute regular marshmallows cut into smaller pieces if mini marshmallows are unavailable.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• Adding a pinch of salt can enhance the chocolate flavor if desired.
