Golden Graham S’mores Marshmallow Treats have the taste of a classic s’mores, but in a marshmallow treat form. Golden Grahams cereal, peanut butter, marshmallows, two kinds of chocolate chips and no campfire needed.
I have been making these s’mores bars for years now. They are the perfect treat to make and bring to a barbecue or backyard party. And trust me on adding the peanut butter to these. That is what makes these SO good.
Golden Grahams S'mores Marshmallow Treats
Print RecipeIngredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 6 cups (or one 10.5-ounce bag) mini marshmallows, divided
- 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 6 cups Golden Grahams Cereal
- 1-1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
Instructions
Line a 9-inch x 13-inch baking pan with foil. Spray the sides and bottom of the pan with baking spray and set aside.
In a large pot on the stovetop, melt the butter and peanut butter together, over medium heat, stirring occasionally. While the peanut butter and butter is melting, open the bag of marshmallows and remove one cup of marshmallows. Set the cup of marshmallows aside.
Once the butters are melted, add 5 cups (or the bag of marshmallows minus one cup), to the pot. Stir mixture continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and incorporated into the peanut butter mixture.
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the extract. Add three cups of the cereal to the marshmallow mixture, carefully folding the cereal into the mixture, stirring until the cereal is fully incorporated into the marshmallow mixture.
Add one cup of the semi-sweet chocolate chips to the pot, and gently fold the chocolate chips into the mixture. Add the remaining three cups of cereal to the mixture, gently folding the cereal into the mixture until incorporated.
Add the remaining 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips to the pot and fold into the mixture. Stir until combined.
Let the mixture cool for another minute before adding in the remaining cup of mini marshmallows. Fold the marshmallows into the mixture carefully, allowing the marshmallows to retain their shape.
Pour the mixture out into the prepared pan. Gently push the mixture into the pan, so it is in an even layer. Pour the milk chocolate chips evenly over the top of the treats, gently pressing the milk chocolate chips into the treats.
Let bars cool and set at room temperature, before slicing into desired sized squares. If you are in a hurry, you can pop the treats into the refrigerator to cool quicker.
Notes
Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature. Bars stay good for 3-4 days when properly stored.

May 23, 2017 at 11:12 AMi hadn’t had golden grahams until a couple of years ago! i was stuck with healthy wheaty cereals 99% of the time, and i used to spring for frosted flakes when i got the chance (that cereal milk!!). these sound delicious, especially with the peanut butter.
