In the spring and summer I always loved sitting outside by the fire pit with friends and making our favorite dessert- s’mores! We don’t have a fire pit anymore, but we can come with other creative ways to enjoy this treat, including making other s’mores themed desserts! So, my mini chef and I did just that! We created s’mores cereal bars for Mini Chef Monday’s this week and they are delicious with a capital D!
S’mores cereal bars are very similar to your basic rice krispies treat recipe, except you use Golden Grams cereal instead! Melt the butter in a large pot and then add the marshmallows, stirring until melted. Add the cereal and stir to coat, then add half the chocolate chips.
Press the mixture into a greased rectangular pan, such as a cake pan or casserole dish. Use butter or oil to grease your hands or the back of a spoon to help press the cereal mixture down. Top with the other half cup of chocolate chips. Let the bars cool to room temperature before cutting up to serve.
Yum! You could also add mini marshmallows to the mixture when you add the chocolate chips, but those weren’t available in our store so we’ll try it that way next time!
