Ingredients
- 8 cups Golden Grahams cereal
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
- 11½ ounces milk chocolate chips
- ⅔ cup light corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Prepare the Pan
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
2. Melt the Chocolate Mixture
Place the milk chocolate chips, butter, and light corn syrup in a large saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
3. Coat the Cereal
Place the Golden Grahams cereal in a large bowl. Pour the warm chocolate mixture over the cereal and gently stir until the pieces are evenly coated.
4. Add the Marshmallows
Fold in the mini marshmallows, reserving a handful to sprinkle over the top if desired. Work fairly quickly while the chocolate mixture is still warm.
5. Press Into the Pan
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Gently press it into an even layer using a lightly greased spatula or the back of a spoon.
Don’t press too firmly, or the bars may become overly dense.
6. Let Them Set
Allow the bars to cool and set for about 1 hour at room temperature. Once firm, cut into squares or rectangles.
Tips for the Best Indoor S’mores Bars
- Use milk chocolate for a classic s’mores flavor, or substitute semi-sweet chocolate for a less-sweet version.
- Don’t overheat the chocolate. Keep the heat low and stir continuously.
- Work quickly when combining the chocolate mixture with the cereal.
- For extra marshmallow flavor, reserve some mini marshmallows and press them onto the top before the bars set.
- Add a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt for a sweet-and-salty twist.
Storage
Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for several days. If your kitchen is particularly warm, refrigerate them briefly to help the chocolate remain firm.
These Indoor S’mores Bars give you all the chocolate, marshmallow, and graham-cracker goodness of traditional s’mores—without needing a campfire.
