Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Golden Grahams cereal
- 5 cups mini marshmallows
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
Instructions
Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Set it aside.
In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter.
Add 4 cups of mini marshmallows to the melted butter, stirring constantly until fully melted and smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Immediately fold in the Golden Grahams cereal, gently stirring until evenly coated in the marshmallow mixture.
Quickly mix in the remaining 1 cup of mini marshmallows and the chocolate chips, allowing them to mix through without completely melting for a nice texture.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and press it firmly down into an even layer using a spatula or your hands (lightly greased with butter to prevent sticking).
Allow the bars to cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour or until they are fully set.
Once set, cut the mixture into bars of your desired size.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
