Easy, No-Bake Cereal S’mores Bars

No-Bake Cereal S’Mores Bars are gooey, sticky, and crunchy. Made with just a few ingredients, and no baking needed. They’re the perfect summer treat for a cookout or block party!

Why You’ll Love These Golden Grahams Bars:

• No-Bake! – No need to heat up the oven on an already hot summer day
• Extra Crunchy – Using cereal gives these bars lots of crunch.
• Only 5 ingredients – And all easy to find!
• S’Mores flavor without the bonfire – Is there a better combination than marshmallows and chocolate!?

Ingredients You’ll Need for these S’mores Bars:

• Golden Grahams Cereal
• Mini Marshmallows – I like to set aside some of the marshmallows to fold in.
• Chocolate Chips – You can swap in a chopped up chocolate bar as well.
• Butter
• Vanilla Extract

How To Make Cereal S’Mores Bars

1. Prepare Dish – Start by buttering the baking dish. Grease the pan well so you can easily remove the bars.
2. Melt Chocolate and Marshmallow Mixture – You can melt the chocolate, marshmallows, butter, and vanilla in a large nonstick skillet or a dutch oven. You can even use the microwave, but do so carefully, stirring frequently. It’s very easy to burn chocolate in the microwave.
3. Fold in Cereal – Fold in the cereal and reserved mini marshmallows to the melted chocolate mixture.
4. Press into Dish – Press the cereal mixture into your greased pan. I recommend using either wet hands or use the butter wrapper to press the mixture down. Allow to set up for a couple of hours.
5. Cut into Bars – Once the bars have cooled and set, use a sharp knife to cut into squares.

Recipe Tips

• Melt Carefully – I prefer to melt the ingredients on the stove, but you can also use the microwave. Be careful that you don’t burn the chocolate. It’s best to heat it until there are still some lumps left and it will melt completely when you stir it together.
• Save a Handful of Mini Marshmallows – Instead of melting all of the marshmallows, I like to save a handful of them to fold in with the cereal so you get little pockets of marshmallow.
• Greased Sharp Knife for Cutting – Because these bars are so gooey, they can be tricky to cut. I recommend using a very sharp knife that you spritz with cooking spray to make slicing easier.
• Grease Baking Dish – It’s best to really grease your baking dish with butter so nothing sticks.

Leftovers and Storage

Leftover bars can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
