S’mores Cereal Treats
Yes, it is true I love anything that is S’mores inspired. I seriously can’t get enough of it. Especially in the summer it is such a summer time treat. If you love S’mores and you love Rice Krispie Treats you are going to be in for a real treat. These are seriously as easy as Rice Krispie Treats to make and I personally think so much better.
Looking for other S’mores inspired treats:
S’mores Cereal Treats
Ingredients:
12 oz box Golden Grahams cereal
1 cup milk chocolate chips
10 oz bag mini-marshmallows
6 tbs butter
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
Line a 9×9 pan with foil leaving a 2 inch overhang on the sides. Lightly spray with cooking spray and set aside. Place your chocolate chips in a glass bowl and place in the freezer for later. (This will help them not melt so much) Pour cereal into a large mixing bowl and set aside as well.
Next, in a medium sized pot, melt the butter on medium-low heat, making sure that it doesn’t burn or brown. Once it has melted, stir in your marshmallows. Stir constantly, until the marshmallows have melted and you have a thick, smooth, creamy mixture. Add your vanilla into it and mix well.
Pour the melted marshmallow mixture onto the golden grahams in the large bowl, and immediately begin mixing. All the little pieces need to be coated with the gooey marshmallows so that the bars stick together. Once all the golden grahams are coated, add in your chocolate chips. Mix well, then pour the whole messy mixture (and it WILL be very messy and sticky!) into your prepared pan.
Pat it down evenly (you might want to spray some cooking spray on your hands so they don’t stick to the mixture!). Then let the whole thing sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour, or until it is solid. When ready to serve, simply lift the bars out of the pan using the foil and cut into squares. Serve!
