chaobellSo the other day, when I got smacked with the massive Golden Grahams s'mores craving, I found recipes calling for corn syrup all over the intarweb. So I went out and got everything, including the corn syrup, but forgot the damn marshmallows.
Turns out, right there on the back of the chocolate chip bag was THE CORN SYRUP-LESS S'MORES RECIPE.
So I made my s'mores and was happy. And I just made more!
Anyway, HERE IS RECIPE.
8 cups Golden Grahams or cheaper store-brand equivalent
5 tbsp. butter or suitable vegetable-based substitute
1 bag milk chocolate chips
1 bag miniature marshmallows
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Pour cereal into BIG-ASS BOWL. No, not that one, the big one. No, the BIG one. Set aside.
Melt butter in a good-sized saucepan over low heat. Needs to be big enough to hold a bag of chocolate chips and a bag minus one cup of marshmallows.
While butter is melting, open marshmallows. Measure out roughly one cup, throw into bowl with cereal, set aside.
When butter is melted, dump in chocolate chips and the rest of the marshmallows. Cook, still over low heat, stir frequently until chocolate and marshmallows are melted and nice and smooth. Turn off heat, add vanilla, stir some more. Pour chocolate-marshmallow goo over cereal and marshmallows in big-ass bowl. Mix with scooping/folding motion until cereal is covered with goo. Dump into 13x9x2 pan, spread evenly and press down with the buttered back of a spoon or a pancake turner or a spatula or something.
Put in fridge to cool if you're patient, put in freezer to cool if you're not. When firm, remove from cold place and cut into bars. Keep for about five days in the freezer, after five days of freezing and thawing the cereal gets a little stale.
I actually had better results with store-brand marshmallows and chocolate chips than I did with the name-brand ones--the name-brand goo was almost too thick to pour. Just make sure to check the chip label and make sure you are getting real chocolate, and not that "chocolate flavored" shit they sometimes sneak in there. Also, real vanilla extract. REAL VANILLA EXTRACT. Spend the extra money on it. Don't use the fake shit.
