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)
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
