1. Why This Recipe Works Every Time
Whenever I make these Golden Grahams S’mores Bars in my test kitchen, the smell takes me straight back to summer nights by the fire. But honestly, this version is even better because there’s no campfire needed—just a pot, a spoon, and about 20 minutes of your time.
The beauty of this recipe is how forgiving it is. The cereal stays crunchy, the marshmallow binds everything into chewy, buttery clusters, and the chocolate ganache on top sets into a silky layer that cracks just right when you bite into it. It’s the kind of treat that disappears fast at parties.

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
- Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a large pot over low heat, melt the butter. Add the mini marshmallows and stir constantly until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and salt.
- Gently fold in the Golden Grahams cereal until fully coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan using a greased spatula or your hands.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips and heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Pour over the bars and spread evenly. Let set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then cut into squares.
👩🍳 Chef Elena’s Kitchen Notes & Storage
For extra gooey bars, use a few extra marshmallows and don't overmix the cereal—you want some clusters. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months (wrap tightly).
