Ingredients Golden Graham S’mores Bars
- Graham cracker cereal like Golden Grahams
- Mini marshmallows work best in this recipe because they’re mixed into the cereal bar mixture.
- Butter
- Chocolate chips – milk chocolate chips or semi-sweet chocolate chips are great.
- Vanilla extract
- Light corn syrup – I use this to melt the chocolate so you get a smooth sauce that doesn’t harden too much when you mix it with the cereal.
Helpful Tools to Make No-Bake S’mores Bars
How to Make S’mores Bars
Melt: Combine the corn syrup, butter, and chocolate in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil and stir constantly until the mixture is smooth. Take the pan off the heat and mix in the vanilla.
Mix: Pour the cereal into a large bowl and pour the chocolate mixture over the top. Stir to coat the cereal and then fold in the marshmallows.
Set: Press the s’mores mixture into a prepared pan. It helps to coat your fingers with cooking spray and use them to press the mixture into the pan. Let the bars cool before slicing them.
What’s the Best Way to Store S’more Bars?
No bake s’mores bars should be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Can You Freeze No-Bake S’mores Bars?
I haven’t tried freezing them because they’re so easy to make, we just whip up a fresh batch when we get a craving! Plus, I’m not sure they will freeze well because most likely the cereal will soften as it thaws.
Recipe Tips for the Best No Bake Cereal Bars
- You can use any graham cereal for this recipe and I think Cinnamon Toast Crunch would work well, too! I haven’t tried the recipe with actual graham crackers, but I think they would work but you would need to break them down into smaller pieces.
- Don’t leave out the corn syrup – if you omit it, the chocolate will harden and it will be difficult to slice the bars and eat them.
- The mixture is pretty sticky! Grease your hands and press it into the pan or grease a spatula if you want to press the mixture that way.
The kids will LOVE these golden graham s’mores bars! And, you know what? The adults will, too – I have a hard time not sneaking one or two from the fridge when no one’s looking! Have fun making them and enjoy!
