Easy no-bake Golden Grahams s'mores are made with cereal, marshmallows, & chocolate chips and take less than 15 minutes to make.
I'm a sucker for s'mores anything. I love s'mores cake, s'mores cookies, s'mores pie, s'mores anything!
Especially when the s'mores recipe is super easy and super tasty. And these Golden Graham s'mores are both.
They take less than 15 minutes to make, and they've got plenty of ooey gooey s'mores goodness.
They're a quick and easy way to bring the goodness of s'mores indoors!
How to make Golden Graham s'mores
In a large pot over low heat, melt the butter most of the way.
Add 16 ounces of mini marshmallows, and continue to cook until marshmallows have completely melted. Stir the mixture regularly.
Remove from heat. Stir in 8 cups of cereal until the cereal is coated with melted marshmallow.
Add the remaining 5 ounces of marshmallows and ½ cup of the mini semisweet chocolate chips. Toss to combine.
Pour the cereal treats into a greased 9x13-inch baking pan. Sprinkle with remaining ¼ cup cereal and ¼ cup mini chocolate chips.
Press into pan, and let it cool to room temperature before cutting.
Tip: If the cereal mixture is sticking to your hands, try lightly spritzing your hands with nonstick baking spray.
How long will they keep?
These cereal bars will keep for up to 4 days, covered, at room temperature. They are best eaten within 1-2 days after making them.
However, if you live in a humid area, you may find that the bars soften faster. I've had good luck with loosely covering the bars with a paper towel to help keep them fresh longer.

Excited to try these. Have you ever kept them in the fridge? If I make ahead and refrigerate will they get soggy?
Kate
I haven't, but I will the next time I make a batch! I live in a high humidity area, so I can't cover them. Otherwise they get very soggy, very quickly.
Kathy
These are my go-to bars. Everyone loves them, especially my grandkids! I add a jar of marshmallow cream and cut back on the mini marshmallows. Makes them extra gooey!
Kate
Yay!! I'll have to give the marshmallow cream a try!
Angie

Sarah

Kate
I'm glad you liked them!
arcee
Easy & turned out great. Didn't add the extra marshmallows because I didn't want to open a second bag & have a partial bag leftover.
Kate
Thank you!
Lil
I made the bars tonight and hope they stay as crispy and tasty as they are when first mixed together. They had me from the first bite - as I was cleaning my fingers off of the grahams that stuck to my fingers. The grandkids will be surprised as they are great rice krispe treat fans.
Kate
I hope that it was a hit!
Diane
Thanks this is just great on a rainy Labor Day family gathering.
Kate
Thank you! I'm glad you liked them!
Dawn
Love these! So much better than store bought cereal bars. My daughter used to always ask for rice krispie treats but now she has a new favorite.
Kate
Thank you! I'm so glad that your daughter likes them!
Mike
These turned out great and taste like s’mores. I think I needed more cereal. I used 1 standard box and I was technically an ounce short on marshmallows because the bags were 10 oz. but they seemed a bit too marmallowy.
Regardless, they were absolutely delicious.
Kate
Thank you! Feel free to add more cereal if you find them to be too marshmallowy. =)
Kelly
I made these yesterday and served them tonight at a cookout I was hosting. The graham crackers just got chewy and had no crunch. I was so disappointed because they looked so good. I followed the recipe exactly, not sure what went wrong. Any ideas?
Kate
Hi! I don't think it was that anything went wrong so much as cereal just softens as it sits. The cereal pulls the moisture from the marshmallow and the butter (and the air if you live in a humid area) - similar to the way that cereal softens in milk. I live in an area with a lot of humidity. I've had good luck loosely covering the bars with a paper towel to help them stay fresh longer.
Colleen
These are delicious!
Kate
Thank you so much!
Phyllis
I love these!!! Now I can make them instead of paying the inflated amount they want in stores!!! Thank you.
Kate
Thank you!
Lisa Pinder
These are my family’s NEW FAVORITE! I’m even getting requests from their friends to make these bars! Thank you!
Kate
Yay!! I'm so glad that they were a hit!
Kass
I made these a couple weeks ago and they were a HUGE HIT! If I'm honest, I ate one before they finished cooling, and another before I finished cutting them up. The group I served them to ate EVERY LAST bite and requested I make them again! Love this recipe - it's so easy and DELICIOUS!! Thank you for sharing! :)
Kate
I'm so glad that they were a hit! Ha! I do the same! They're dangerous to have around. =)
julie collins
I wonder if you could do this with 8cups of chopped graham crackers?
I don't have any Golden Grahams cereal.
Kate
Hmmm...I'm not sure! Golden grahams are crunchier than graham crackers, so the graham crackers may soften up too much, but I haven't tried it to say for sure.
Karly
Love these! Can't wait to make this!
Kate
Thanks! I hope you enjoy them as much as we do! =)
Allie
My kids went crazy for the bars! LOL They gobbled them up and asked for more.
Kate
Yay!! I'm so glad that they were a hit! Thanks for commenting!
