A dessert that’s 90% crunchy, sweet Golden Grahams cereal mixed with a creamy and chewy chocolate sauce and puffy marshmallows, what’s not to love! Kids everywhere rejoiced! And 90s parents were equally happy as it could double as a dessert and breakfast. Just kidding. Well, they probably did and it probably could.

The ingredients of Golden Grahams S'mores Bars recipe. A throwback 90s kid treat!

Directions

First, lightly butter/grease a 9×13-inch baking pan and measure cereal into a large bowl.

Then, in a saucepan on low heat, melt the chocolate chips along with the syrup and butter stirring frequently. Mix in the vanilla. Then add marshmallows gradually to melt as well. Reserve at least one cup of marshmallows for later.

Next, pour the chocolate mixture over the cereal and coat the cereal by stirring carefully. Add the additional marshmallows and toss.

Lastly, Pour the cereal mixture into the 9×13 pan and press down with a buttered spoon to pack. Cool for at least one hour before serving.

How long do S’more treats last?

Store loosely covered at room temperature for up to five days. Like most cereal bars, they will dry out over time so it’s best to eat these Golden Grahams S’mores Bars fresh. If they are getting a bit hard, pop a bar in the microwave for 5-10 seconds. That will make them soft and chewy again!

Golden Grahams S’mores Bars were made for every party!

I would call this a portable, mess-free dessert that can be easily custom cut to bite-size snack portions depending on your crowd. This dessert is perfect for your next birthday party, holiday gathering, or church potluck! Not to mention, a no-brainer camping trip must-have snack! Nothing’s better than having all the s’mores taste without all the s’mores mess!
