Golden Graham's Smore Bars


What you need:
3/4 cup light corn syrup
4 tablespoons butter
1 package or 2 cups milk chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla
One 12 oz. box Golden Grahams cereal (8 to 9 cups)
10 oz bag or approx. 4 cups mini marshmallows

What to do:
1. Measure out and pour cereal into a large bowl.
2. Grease 9 x 13 pan (I use cooking spray).
3. Heat corn syrup, butter, chocolate chips and half of the mallows to low boil,
 being sure to stir constantly. As soon as it begins to boil, remove from heat and add vanilla.
4. Pour melted mixture over the cereal, gently toss until cereal is coated.
5. Fold in remaining two cups of marshmallows.
6. I sometimes tuck a few extra marshmallows here and there on tip just for looks.
7. Pour cereal mixture into 9 x 13 greased pan and press down.
8.  Let stand for about an hour and they're ready to cut.

If your house is like mine these will be cut into way before they're cooled, set and ready for cutting.
This is another family favorite that we've been making for years.  I like this recipe because it's easy, fast, and you don't have to turn on your oven or baking timer. 

When it comes to the step where you press down the mixture in the pan, I like to make sure my hands are washed and thoroughly clean then I spray one hand with the cooking spray and use it to press down the gooey mixture.  It makes it so easy to get in the corners and wherever you need to.

You can also put the pan in the fridge for about a half hour and it speeds up the cooling process.
This makes it easier for it to be firmed up make a clean cut for serving.
  I hope you enjoy these simple and delicious treats as much as we have!
