Serves: 16 squares
Ingredients
- 3 cups Golden Grahams cereal
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing slight overhang for easy removal later.
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter over low heat, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
- Add brown sugar to the melted butter and stir until completely dissolved and mixture becomes smooth and slightly bubbly.
- Remove butter and sugar mixture from heat and immediately add mini marshmallows, stirring quickly until marshmallows are mostly melted and integrated.
- Gently fold in Golden Grahams cereal, ensuring each piece is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips over the mixture and fold gently, allowing some chips to melt while keeping others intact for texture.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan, pressing down gently and evenly with a spatula or clean hands.
- Allow the squares to cool and set at room temperature for approximately 30-45 minutes until firm.
- Use parchment paper to lift the entire batch out of the pan, then cut into 16 even squares.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Use low heat when melting butter and sugar to prevent burning and ensure a smooth mixture.
- Stir marshmallows quickly to create a uniform coating and prevent them from overcooking.
- For extra chocolatey squares, use a mix of milk and dark chocolate chips.
- Allow the squares to cool completely for clean, easy cutting.
- Line your pan with parchment paper for effortless removal and cutting.
- For a gourmet twist, sprinkle sea salt on top before the mixture sets.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and texture.
