Golden Graham S'Mores
Golden Graham S'Mores are crispy, chocolatey treats combining Golden Grahams cereal, mini marshmallows, and melted chocolate, perfect for sweet cravings and gatherings with friends or family.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Grease a rectangular pan.
- In a 3-quart saucepan, heat the light corn syrup, margarine, and milk chocolate chips to boiling, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the cereal in a large bowl and toss until completely coated.
- Fold in mini marshmallows, one cup at a time.
- Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan with the back of a buttered spoon.
- Let cool for 1 hour, then cut into squares.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider adding peanut butter to the chocolate mixture for a richer flavor. If you don't have margarine, unsalted butter works as a great substitute. Make sure to stir the mixture constantly to prevent burning, and use a large bowl for easier mixing. Letting the mixture cool slightly before pressing it into the pan helps it set better.
Serving Suggestions
These Golden Graham S'Mores make a delightful snack on their own, but they also pair beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate syrup. For a fun twist, serve them alongside a slice of Cherry Cheesecake Dessert for a sweet treat platter. They are perfect for parties or as an after-school snack.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep them fresh longer, you can refrigerate them, but they may become a bit chewy. To enjoy them warm, briefly microwave individual squares for about 10 seconds before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate?
Absolutely! Dark chocolate chips will give the bars a richer flavor and a bit of a sophisticated twist. Just keep in mind that dark chocolate is less sweet than milk chocolate, so the overall taste will be slightly different.
What can I substitute for Golden Grahams cereal?
If you don't have Golden Grahams, you can use any honey-flavored cereal or even rice crispy cereal for a different texture. The flavor will change slightly, but the overall concept remains the same.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, these bars can be made a day or two in advance. Just store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh. They are great for gatherings or as a sweet treat to enjoy throughout the week.
