Golden Grahams S'mores Bars

These bars turn the classic campfire treat into a no-bake dessert — crunchy Golden Grahams standing in for the crackers, melted marshmallow holding everything together, and pockets of chocolate throughout. They come together in about 15 minutes, no oven needed, and taste like one giant, chewy s'more.

Ingredients (makes about 16 bars)

• 6 cups Golden Grahams cereal
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 bag (10 oz) mini marshmallows, divided
• 1 cup mini chocolate chips, divided
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Line a 9x13-inch pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
2. Melt the butter in a large pot over low heat. Add 4 cups of the marshmallows and the salt, stirring until smooth and fully melted.
3. Remove from heat. Fold in the cereal until evenly coated, then fold in half the chocolate chips.
4. Press the mixture gently and evenly into the pan — don't pack it too tight, or the bars will turn out dense.
5. Scatter the remaining marshmallows and chocolate chips on top, pressing lightly so they stick.
6. Let set at room temperature for 30–45 minutes, then lift out using the parchment and cut into squares.

Tip: A quick pass with a kitchen torch over the top marshmallows gives that classic toasted look.
