There is something so comforting about the mix of toasted oats, melted marshmallows, and chocolate. These bars are a staple in my house because they come together in just fifteen minutes and do not require any oven time at all.

They are perfect for busy weeknights when you need a quick treat. My secret tip is to lightly grease your hands with a bit of butter before pressing the mixture into the pan to keep things from getting too sticky.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 10 ounces mini marshmallows
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 cups golden honey graham cereal
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup extra mini marshmallows for the top

Instructions

  1. 1

    Line a 9 by 9 inch square baking pan with parchment paper or foil.

  2. 2

    Melt the butter in a large pot over low heat.

  3. 3

    Add the 10 ounces of marshmallows to the butter and stir constantly until they are completely melted and smooth.

  4. 4

    Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

  5. 5

    Gently fold in the cereal until every piece is well coated with the marshmallow mixture.

  6. 6

    Stir in the chocolate chips quickly so they do not melt entirely.

  7. 7

    Press the mixture firmly into your prepared pan using a greased spatula.

  8. 8

    Sprinkle the remaining half cup of marshmallows on top and press them down lightly.

  9. 9

    Let the bars cool completely for about 30 minutes before cutting them into squares.

💡 Tips

Store these bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you like them extra gooey, you can pop a square in the microwave for five seconds before eating.
