Ingredients
Instructions
- Grease a 13 x 9 x 2-inch rectangle pan.
- Heat corn syrup, margarine, and chocolate morsels in a saucepan until boiling, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
- Add Golden Grahams and miniature marshmallows, mixing until well combined.
- Press the mixture into the prepared pan and allow to cool before cutting into squares.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate morsels instead of milk chocolate. If you're looking for a gluten-free option, check for gluten-free Golden Grahams. To make the mixture easier to press into the pan, lightly grease your hands or use a spatula. If you want to add a twist, try mixing in some peanut butter for a unique flavor profile.
Serving Suggestions
Cut these Golden Grahams S'Mores into squares and serve as a fun dessert at parties or family gatherings.

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If they become too hard, you can microwave a square for a few seconds to soften it up. Avoid refrigeration, as it can cause the bars to become too chewy and lose their texture.
