S'mores Treats

Ingredients:

  • 8 cups Golden Grahams cereal
  • 5 tbsp butter
  • 1 - 10 oz. bag mini marshmallows
  • 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup (if you don't have this or don't want to use it, it's not a big deal - they'll work without it)

Directions:

  1. In a large saute pan, melt the butter over medium heat
  2. Add in 5 cups of marshmallows and stir over low heat until they're all melted (avoid the urge to bump up the heat, you want to melt these slowly)
  3.  Once the marshmallow is melted, add in the chocolate chips and corn syrup and stir until everything is well combined
  4. Lastly, add in the cereal and stir until it's all well coated
  5. Turn off the heat and add in the remaining marshmallows and stir to mix them into the cereal - this will give the treats more texture
  6. Spray a 9"x13" baking dish with cooking spray and and press the mixture into the pan (it'll be easier if you let the mixture cool slightly before pressing it into the pan)
  7. Allow the treats to cool in the pan and then cut bars of desired size
