Ingredients

4 cups Golden Grahams cereal

1 cup mini marshmallows

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup unsalted butter

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Instructions

Prepare the Baking Dish: Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later. Lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.

Melt Butter and Peanut Butter: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter and creamy peanut butter together, stirring continuously until smooth and combined.

Add Sugar and Vanilla: Once melted, remove from heat. Stir in the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until fully incorporated.

Combine with Cereal: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Golden Grahams cereal and mini marshmallows. Pour the melted mixture over the cereal and marshmallows, and stir gently until all the cereal is well coated.

Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Press into the Pan: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Using a spatula or your hands (lightly greased), press down firmly to create an even layer.

Set and Cool: Allow the bars to cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, or until set. For quicker results, place the pan in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

Cut and Serve: Once cooled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares or rectangles as desired. Enjoy your delicious Golden Grahams S'mores Bars!
