Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat corn syrup, butter, and chocolate chips in a large saucepan to boiling, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the cereal in a large mixing bowl.
- Toss quickly until the cereal is completely coated with the chocolate mixture.

- Press the mixture evenly into a pan lined with waxed paper.
- Let stand until firm, at least 1 hour.
- Cut into squares and serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For an even richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt to the chocolate mixture. If you can't find Golden Grahams, any honey-flavored cereal can work as a substitute. To make the mixture easier to handle, lightly coat your hands with vegetable oil spray when pressing it into the pan. This recipe can also be adapted with different types of chocolate chips, such as dark or white chocolate.
Serving Suggestions
Cut into squares and serve as a sweet snack or dessert. These S'Mores Indoors pair beautifully with a tall glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat. For a fun twist, consider serving them alongside a warm cup of hot cocoa, especially during colder months.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you prefer a firmer texture, you can refrigerate them, but be sure to let them come to room temperature before serving. These treats do not freeze well, as the texture may change upon thawing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cereal?
Yes, you can substitute Golden Grahams with any similar cereal, such as Honey Nut Cheerios or even crushed graham crackers. Just ensure that the cereal maintains a somewhat similar texture to achieve the desired crunch in the final product.
What can I do if I don't have light corn syrup?
If you don't have light corn syrup, you can use honey or agave syrup as a substitute. While the flavor may vary slightly, these alternatives will still provide the necessary sweetness and help bind the ingredients together.
Can I add other mix-ins to the recipe?
Absolutely! Feel free to get creative by adding in nuts, dried fruit, or even other candies like M&M's or Reese's Pieces. Just be mindful of the proportions, so the mixture remains cohesive and easy to press into the pan.
