Scale
Ingredients
- 1 12-ounce bag chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk)
- 1 tablespoon Crisco shortening or vegetable oil
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 2 cups Golden Grahams cereal
Instructions
- Prepare the pan: Line a 9×9 inch square pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Melt chocolate and shortening: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips and Crisco shortening or vegetable oil. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully melted, being careful not to burn the chocolate.
- Add marshmallows: Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the mini marshmallows, mixing quickly to combine and begin melting the marshmallows into the chocolate mixture.
- Mix in cereal: Gently fold in the Golden Grahams cereal until the cereal is evenly coated with the chocolate-marshmallow mixture and well combined.
- Press mixture into pan: Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan. Use a spatula or your hands (lightly greased or dampened) to press the mixture evenly and firmly into the pan for compact bars.
- Chill and set: Refrigerate the pan for at least 1 to 2 hours until the bars are fully set and firm.
- Serve: Once chilled, remove the bars from the pan by lifting the parchment paper, cut into squares, and serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Use semi-sweet chocolate chips for a classic s’mores taste or milk chocolate for a sweeter variation.
- If you prefer, substitute Crisco shortening with vegetable oil, but shortening helps the bars set firmer.
- Press the mixture firmly into the pan to ensure the bars hold together once chilled.
- Store bars in the refrigerator to keep them firm; they can soften at room temperature.
- You can add chopped nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before chilling for extra texture and flavor.
