Wet Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons butter (or margarine)
- 1/4 cup corn syrup
Dry Ingredients
- 5 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 7 cups Golden Grahams cereal
- 1 cup mini marshmallows (for stirring in at the end)
- Prepare the pan: Butter or grease a 9×13 inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Melt marshmallows and chocolate: In a large saucepan over low heat, combine 5 cups of mini marshmallows, 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips, 5 tablespoons butter, and 1/4 cup corn syrup. Stir gently with a rubber spatula as the mixture melts to create a smooth blend.
- Remove from heat: Once the mixture is fully melted and smooth, remove the saucepan from heat and place it on a heatproof surface to cool slightly without hardening.
- Mix in cereal and marshmallows: Immediately stir in 7 cups of Golden Grahams cereal and the remaining 1 cup mini marshmallows. The mixture will be very sticky at this point.
- Press into pan: Spoon the sticky batter into the prepared baking pan. Use the back of a lightly greased spatula to flatten and evenly distribute the mixture across the pan.
- Let set: Allow the bars to set at room temperature for about 60 minutes until hardened and firm enough to cut into squares.
Notes
- Lightly grease your spatula when pressing the bars into the pan to prevent sticking.
- Use a heatproof surface to rest the saucepan once removed from heat to avoid damage to counters.
- For easier cutting, let the bars set completely at room temperature; refrigerating can speed up setting but may change texture.
- Corn syrup helps give these bars a chewy texture, but it can be substituted with light honey or golden syrup if needed.
