Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Main Ingredients

• 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into cubes
• 10 oz jumbo marshmallows
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 8 cups Golden Grahams cereal
• 1 cup mini marshmallows
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 Hershey Bars, broken into pieces

Instructions

1. Prepare the Baking Dish: Spray a 13×9 inch baking dish with non-stick spray and set it aside to prevent sticking.
2. Melt Marshmallows and Butter: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the jumbo marshmallows and butter pieces. Microwave for 6 seconds, then stir until the mixture is melted and smooth. If some marshmallows remain unmelted, continue heating in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted.
3. Add Vanilla Extract: Stir the vanilla extract into the melted marshmallow and butter mixture to enhance the flavor.
4. Mix in Cereal: Add the Golden Grahams cereal to the marshmallow mixture and stir until all pieces are well coated.
5. Incorporate Chocolate Chips and Mini Marshmallows: Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and mini marshmallows, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
6. Press Mixture into Pan: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spray a spatula with non-stick spray and press the mixture firmly into an even layer to set properly.
7. Add Hershey Bar Topping: Sprinkle the broken Hershey bar pieces evenly on top of the pressed mixture, gently pressing them in so they stick to the surface.
8. Cool and Set: Allow the entire dish to cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, letting the mixture set before slicing into bars to serve.

Notes

• Microwave times may vary; monitor marshmallows carefully to avoid burning.
• Spraying the spatula helps to press the mixture evenly without sticking.
• For a richer chocolate flavor, consider adding more chocolate chips if desired.
• Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
