Ingredients
Scale
Base and Mix
- 6 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 (12-ounce) bag jumbo marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 2 cups Golden Grahams cereal
- 2 1/2 cups mini marshmallows, divided
Toppings
- 4 Hershey bars, broken into pieces
Instructions
- Prepare the pan: Line a 9×9 inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly butter it to ensure easy removal of the treats later.
- Melt butter and marshmallows: In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the salted butter. Add the jumbo marshmallows and stir continuously until the mixture is completely smooth and melted.
- Add vanilla and cereals: Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Then fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, Golden Grahams cereal, and 1 1/2 cups of mini marshmallows until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- First layer assembly: Spread half of the cereal and marshmallow mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle half of the broken Hershey bar pieces and remaining mini marshmallows evenly over this layer.
- Second layer assembly: Spread the remaining cereal mixture on top, pressing gently to avoid compacting it too much. Finish by adding the rest of the Hershey bar pieces and mini marshmallows as a topping.
- Cool and serve: Let the assembled treats cool completely at room temperature to set. Once firm, cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- For easier removal, ensure the parchment paper overlaps the sides of the pan to lift the treats out as a block.
- Use salted butter to balance the sweetness, but unsalted can be substituted to control salt content.
- You can substitute Hershey bars with any milk chocolate or chocolate chunks for variations.
- These treats can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for best freshness.
- Press gently when layering the second half to preserve the airy texture and crispness of the cereals.
