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 (additional)
- Prepare the Pan: Butter or grease a 9×13 inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Melt Ingredients: Place 5 cups of mini marshmallows, milk chocolate chips, butter, and corn syrup in a large saucepan over low heat.
- Stir and Melt: Gently stir the mixture with a rubber spatula until fully melted and combined, forming a smooth, sticky mixture.
- Add Cereal and Marshmallows: Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the Golden Grahams cereal along with the remaining 1 cup mini marshmallows, mixing thoroughly. The mixture will be very sticky.
- Press into Pan: Spoon the sticky batter into the prepared pan and flatten it evenly using the back of a spatula lightly greased to prevent sticking.
- Set and Serve: Allow the bars to harden at room temperature for 60 minutes. Once set, cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- Lightly greasing the spatula when pressing the mixture into the pan makes handling sticky batter easier.
- Corn syrup helps keep the bars chewy and prevents crystallization.
- Use fresh marshmallows for the best melting texture.
- Can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute Golden Grahams with a gluten-free crispy cereal.
