College Throwback: Golden Graham S'mores Treats

I got your fall alternative to rice krispie treats. Fall means leaves changing colors, pumpkin patches, apple cider and S'MORES. Why not put the two sweet treats together to make a new kid friendly dessert.

I was inspired by the University of Hawaii cafeteria and my college days. Once every other month, the UH dorms would throw Carnival Night. In lieu of hamburgers, pasta and salad bar the cafeteria would have cotton candy, churros, games, prizes and a cereal treats bar. The cereal treats included traditional Rice Krispies, Cheerios, Captian Crunch (my favorite), among other cereals that were about to turn.

This time we're playing with a childhood favorite, Golden Grahams, mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, a pinch of creativity and a handful of awesome.


Golden Grahams S'mores Treats

1 10.5 oz bag of mini marshmallows
4 tbsp butter
1 12oz box of Golden Grahams
1 cup mini marshmallows
2/3 cup of frozen chocolate chips

In large sauce pan over medium heat, melt butter and bag of mini marshmallows until smooth. Remove from heat. Stir in cereal until well coated. Fold in remaining mini marshmallows and frozen chocolate chips until evenly distributed in mixture. Spray a 9x13 dish with cooking spray. Pour and press mixture into dish and allow to cool. Cut into bars and enjoy.

Warning: treats disappear quickly. I made a whole batch and half was gone in the matter of a few hours. Serve with milk and enjoy!
