Grahams S’Mores Bars Recipe

Introduction

Grahams S’Mores Bars are a delightful, no-bake treat that combines the classic flavors of s’mores into easy-to-make bars. With gooey marshmallows, rich chocolate, and crunchy Golden Grahams, they’re perfect for snacking or sharing.

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

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

Tips & Variations

• For a nuttier flavor, add a half cup of chopped toasted nuts before pressing the mixture into the pan.
• Use dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate for a richer taste.
• Replace corn syrup with honey or golden syrup if preferred.
• Lightly greasing your spatula or hands will make flattening and shaping the bars much easier.

Storage

Store the Grahams S’Mores Bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To keep them firmer, refrigerate for up to a week. If refrigerated, allow the bars to come to room temperature before serving for softer, gooier bites.

FAQs

Can I use regular marshmallows instead of mini marshmallows?

Yes, you can chop regular marshmallows into smaller pieces to substitute for mini marshmallows, but the texture may be a bit different.

Is it necessary to use corn syrup in this recipe?

Corn syrup helps keep the bars chewy and prevents crystallization, but you can substitute honey or golden syrup if you prefer a natural alternative.

• Method: Stovetop
• Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Main 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 (for mixing in later)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pan: Butter or grease a 9×13 inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and to allow easy removal of the bars later.
2. Melt the Mixture: In a large saucepan, combine the 5 cups of mini marshmallows, milk chocolate chips, butter, and corn syrup. Melt all ingredients together over low heat while gently stirring with a rubber spatula to prevent burning and ensure smooth melting.
3. Combine with Cereal: Once the mixture is fully melted and smooth, remove the pan from heat and place it on a heat-proof surface. Immediately stir in the 7 cups of Golden Grahams cereal and the remaining 1 cup of mini marshmallows. The mixture will be very sticky.
4. Press into Pan: Transfer the sticky mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use the back of a lightly greased spatula to flatten and evenly press down the mixture into the pan for uniform bars.
5. Cool and Set: Allow the bars to harden at room temperature for about 60 minutes before cutting into squares. This resting time helps the bars set properly without refrigeration.

Notes

• Greasing the spatula helps avoid sticking when pressing down the sticky mixture.
• Do not overheat the marshmallow and chocolate mixture as it can burn and become grainy.
• These bars are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their chewy texture.
• For variation, you can substitute milk chocolate chips with dark or white chocolate chips according to preference.
• Corn syrup acts as a binder and helps with the chewy texture, but can be substituted with light golden syrup if unavailable.
