Gooey marshmallow cereal treats made using Golden Grahams Cereal have a sweet honey flavor and a crispy and chewy texture. They are easy to make using the stovetop or microwave.
4tablespoonssalted butter(use European-style butter for the best flavor)
10ouncesmarshmallows
Instructions
Grease a large mixing bowl, 8-inch or 9-inch square pan, and silicone spatula (or wooden spoon) with butter.
Pour the cereal into the greased bowl and set aside.
Cut the butter into small pieces and place in the saucepan.
Set the pan over LOW heat and allow the butter to begin to melt.
Add the marshmallows to the pan and let them begin to melt.
Stir often until about 75% of the marshmallows have melted.
Then, remove the pan from the stove and stir vigorously until all the marshmallows have melted.
Optionally, you can melt the butter and marshmallows in a large bowl in the microwave on high power for 1 minute. Then let the bowl sit for a minute in the warm microwave before removing and stirring until melted.
Pour the marshmallows over the cereal.
Fold the marshmallows and cereal together just until combined.
Pour into the greased 8-inch or 9-inch square pan and gently spread into an even layer.
Let the Golden Grahams Treats cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before removing and cutting into 16 squares.
Notes
Store your Golden Grahams Treats in an airtight container at room temperature. Your cereal bars will taste best if eaten within a few days but will keep for up to a week. To freeze, wrap the bars well in wax paper, tin foil, or Glad Press 'n Seal, then seal in a large zip-top bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. TIPS:
Heat your marshmallows on low heat on the stove and only partially melt them on the stove. If you overheat your marshmallows, your treats will be hard.
Gently press your treats into your pan. If you compact the treats too much, your treats will be hard.
I found it easiest to pour half of the cereal treat mixture into the pan. Then, I spread it into an even layer before adding the rest of the cereal. This made it easier for me to see large gaps between cereal pieces so I could fill in the gaps.
