Golden Graham S’mores Bars Are the Perfect Summer No Bake Dessert!

It’s about that time of year when s’mores are on repeat for the next few months. I stock up on marshmallows, graham crackers, and milk chocolate from now until Labor Day…

And while campfire s’mores are pretty tough to beat, it’s fun to create other desserts using the classic s’mores flavors. Plus, s’mores cravings can hit when you’re least expecting it…and we all might not have a campfire at our disposal. Which brings me to the these Golden Graham S’mores Bars! You’ve got all the flavors and gooey-ness of a s’more…and no fire necessary!

S’mores Bars Are Easy To Make!

If you’ve ever made my Rice Krispie Treats, you can make these. They follow the same guidelines…

  1. Melt your butter.
  2. Melt your marshmallows
  3. Add your cereal
  4. Add MORE marshmallows

And at the end of these you stir in some milk chocolate chips too! Because it wouldn’t be a s’more without chocolate.

What You’ll Need For These Gooey Golden Graham S’mores Bars…

The Ingredient List is short here, which is another reason I love this recipe so much!

  1. Golden Graham Cereal
  2. Mini Marshmallows
  3. Salted Butter
  4. Milk Chocolate Chips

Do You Have To Use Golden Grahams?

I mean…kind of? If you’re going for the s’mores flavor Golden Grahams are the way to go. I am sure there are generic brands of Golden Grahams that will work just as well too.

If you’re trying to get creative you could definitely use other cereals, like Cinnamon Toast Crunch. But that kind of make sthem an entirely different treat, wouldn’t you say?

Can You Use Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Instead Of Chocolate Chips?

Great question! And the answer is yes, but note that the milk chocolate will need to be chopped, and know that it will melt when mixed into the cereal mixture more than chips will. Hershey’s milk chocolate is very soft and melt quickly…which is what makes it so great on s’mores. But chips hold their shape better, which is nice in these S’mores Bars, because you get little bites of chocolate throughout!

Of course, the chips melt a little too…just not as much as the bars.

How Long Do These Last?

These will be good for up to 3 days at room temperature if stored airtight. Air is the nemesis of any marshmallow cereal bar, causing them to get hard quickly. The extra marshmallows in this keep them soft, but even that won’t help if not covered properly.

    Description

    These Golden Graham S’mores Squares are such a delicious twist on the classic rice krispy treat! They’re so chewy and delicious, and you don’t even need a campfire to make them.

    Ingredients

    Scale

    • 1/4 cup butter
    • 1 (10.5 oz) bag mini marshmallows, plus 2 cups
    • 7 cups Golden Graham cereal
    • 2 cups milk chocolate chips

    Instructions

    1. Spray a 9×9 pan with cooking spray.
    2. Over low heat melt butter.
    3. Mix in 10.5 oz bag of marshmallows, stirring frequently until melted. Remove from heat.
    4. Stir in Golden Graham cereal. Let sit for 2 minutes.
    5. Pour in 2 cups extra marshmallows and stir until combined.
    6. Pour in milk chips and stir until combined. At this point the mixture will be difficult to stir and the milk chips will melt slightly, but not completely…this is what you want.
    7. When chips mixed in pour into prepared pan and press evenly.
    8. Let cool at least 15 minutes before cutting into squares.

    Notes

    store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
