Golden Graham S’mores Treats - featured image

A fast and easy no-bake treat combining crunchy Golden Grahams, gooey marshmallows, and melty chocolate for a nostalgic, crowd-pleasing snack ready in about 5 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups (150 grams) Golden Grahams cereal
  • 4 cups (100 grams) mini marshmallows
  • 3 tablespoons (42 grams) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (175 grams) chocolate chips or chunks (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine 3 tablespoons unsalted butter and 4 cups mini marshmallows. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir.
  3. Continue microwaving in 15-second bursts, stirring after each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted (about 2 to 2.5 minutes total).
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract if using.
  5. Immediately add 6 cups Golden Grahams cereal to the marshmallow mixture and fold gently but thoroughly until every piece is coated.
  6. Fold in 1 cup chocolate chips or chunks evenly throughout the mixture.
  7. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press down firmly and evenly with a buttered spatula or wax paper, being careful not to crush the cereal.
  8. Let the treats cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes to firm up, or refrigerate for 15 minutes to speed up setting.
  9. Once set, lift the parchment paper to remove the block and cut into squares.

Notes

Use mini marshmallows for best melting results. Melt marshmallows in short bursts and stir often to avoid burning. Press mixture firmly but not too hard to maintain crunch. Chocolate chips soften but do not fully melt, creating pockets of gooey chocolate. Refrigerate treats to speed setting and reduce stickiness. Variations include adding peanut butter, nuts, dried fruit, or using vegan/dairy-free substitutes.
