Made with just five pantry staples, these chewy, chocolatey bars come together quickly and are perfect for parties, lunchboxes, or whenever you need a quick dessert fix.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups Golden Grahams cereal
  • 1 package (10 oz) mini marshmallows, divided
  • 1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pan:
    Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease with butter to prevent sticking. Set aside.
  2. Melt the butter and marshmallows:
    In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter completely. Once melted, add 8 cups of the mini marshmallows (reserve 2 cups for later). Stir constantly until the marshmallows are smooth and fully melted.
  3. Add vanilla:
    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Combine with cereal:
    Immediately fold the Golden Grahams cereal into the warm marshmallow mixture. Stir gently until the cereal is fully coated and evenly mixed.
  5. Mix in chocolate and remaining marshmallows:
    Allow the mixture to cool for 1–2 minutes. Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and the remaining 2 cups of mini marshmallows. Stir gently to distribute without fully melting the chocolate.
  6. Press into pan:
    Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or a piece of parchment paper to press it down evenly into the pan. Avoid pressing too firmly to maintain a light, chewy texture.
  7. Cool and slice:
    Let the bars cool at room temperature for 1 hour, or place in the fridge for 30 minutes to set faster. Once firm, lift the bars out using the parchment and slice into squares.

Notes

For a firmer texture, press more firmly into the pan.

Add-ins such as chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or crushed pretzels can be folded in with the cereal.

To prevent sticking while pressing, lightly grease your hands or the spatula.
