Base 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 (extra)
- Prepare the Pan: Butter or grease a 9×13 inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and set it aside for later use.
- Melt the Mixture: In a large saucepan, combine 5 cups of mini marshmallows, 1 1/2 cups of milk chocolate chips, 5 tablespoons of butter, and 1/4 cup of corn syrup. Heat over low heat while gently stirring with a rubber spatula until everything is completely melted and smoothly blended.
- Combine with Cereal and Marshmallows: Remove the melted mixture from heat and place it on a heat-proof surface. Immediately stir in 7 cups of Golden Grahams cereal along with 1 cup of mini marshmallows. This mixture will be very sticky and requires quick, thorough mixing.
- Press into Pan: Spoon the sticky batter into the prepared pan. Use the back of a spatula to flatten and evenly spread the mixture in the pan. Lightly greasing the spatula can help to prevent sticking for a smoother finish.
- Set and Cut: Allow the bars to harden at room temperature for about 60 minutes until firm. Once set, cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- Lightly greasing your spatula helps in spreading the sticky mixture more easily.
- Using a heat-proof surface to place the hot mixture ensures safety while stirring.
- These bars store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Corn syrup helps prevent crystallization and keeps the bars chewy.
