Why This Dish Is Worth Trying
These bars capture the classic flavors of a campfire treat in an easy-to-make, portable form. They combine gooey marshmallows, melted chocolate, and crunchy graham crackers for a perfect balance of textures and sweetness that everyone will enjoy.
Directions
Tos the crackers and cereal together in a big bowl and set it aside for now. In a saucepan over medium heat, cook the corn syrup and sugar for about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring now and then, until it just starts to bubble around the edges. Take it off the heat and stir in the butter, baking soda, and vanilla until everything is combined. If you’d rather use the microwave, just heat the syrup and sugar in a microwave-safe bowl on high for about 2 minutes until it boils. Pour this warm syrup over the cracker and cereal mix, stirring well so everything is coated. Press the mixture firmly into a greased 13x9-inch pan to create an even layer. Lay the chocolate bars evenly on top, then sprinkle marshmallows over everything. Pop the pan into a 400°F oven and bake for 5 to 8 minutes, until the marshmallows puff up and turn a nice golden brown. Take it out, sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the top, and let the bars chill in the fridge for about an hour to set. Once firm, cut into squares and keep them in an airtight container—best eaten within a couple of days!
