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

Step 1: Butter or grease a 9×13 inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
Step 2: In a large saucepan, combine 5 cups of mini marshmallows, milk chocolate chips, butter, and corn syrup.
Step 3: Melt the mixture over low heat, stirring gently with a rubber spatula until smooth and fully combined.
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 very sticky.
Step 5: Spoon the sticky mixture into the prepared pan. Use the back of a lightly greased spatula to press it down evenly.
Step 6: Let the bars cool and harden at room temperature for about 60 minutes before cutting into squares.

Tips & Variations

Lightly greasing your spatula helps prevent sticking when pressing the mixture into the pan.
For a nuttier twist, try adding chopped toasted nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before the bars set.
You can substitute corn syrup with honey or golden syrup, but the texture may vary slightly.

Storage

Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week. To soften the bars after refrigeration, let them sit at room temperature before serving.

How to Serve

The image shows a close-up mix of crispy brown cereal squares, some with a ridged texture, coated unevenly with glossy melted chocolate, creating a rich, sticky layer that partially covers each piece. Scattered throughout are small, soft white marshmallows that add contrast with their smooth texture and bright color. The cereal pieces and marshmallows fill the frame fully, resting on a background of white marbled texture, emphasizing the details of the chocolate coating and crispy cereal shapes. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

5 tablespoons butter (or margarine)
1/4 cup corn syrup
7 cups Golden Grahams cereal
1 cup mini marshmallows

Instructions

Prepare the Pan: Butter or grease a 9×13 inch baking pan to prevent sticking and make it easier to remove the bars later.
Melt Ingredients: In a large saucepan, combine 5 cups of mini marshmallows, milk chocolate chips, butter, and corn syrup. Melt the mixture over low heat, stirring gently with a rubber spatula until everything is smooth and fully combined.

Notes

Lightly grease your spatula before pressing the mixture to avoid sticking.
Use low heat to prevent burning marshmallows and chocolate while melting.
Corn syrup helps with binding and maintaining chewy texture but can be substituted with golden syrup or honey if necessary.
Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for best freshness.
