Don’t worry y’all – I’m still here! In the past month I went to California and had an amazing time, broke my leg playing basketball, and watched 3 seasons of The OC. Pretty productive month I’d say. But I’m here to share with you one of my favorite summer recipes!
If you know me at all, you’d know that I love sweets. It’s my ultimate downfall in life and I blame my dad’s genes for it. I don’t discriminate against sweets or desserts, I love them all, but I’ve definitely got some favorites. S’mores are on that favorites list, for sure. It’s summertime which means bonfire season! Who doesn’t love a well made s’more? As much I love getting Reese’s Cups and substituting it for the Hershey’s, you really can’t beat the original. But what do you think about a s’more without the bonfire smoke?
S’mores bars have been a favorite treat of mine to make for the last few years, my old coworkers can vouch for that. They’re incredibly easy to make and always a crowd favorite. In fact, this batch I made last week was demolished by a group of teenagers within minutes.
Ingredients:
- 7 cups Golden Grahams cereal
- 6 cups mini marshmallows, divided
- Hershey’s Bar
- 3 tbs butter
- Pinch of salt
Directions:
- Spray 9” x 13” pan with cooking spray. Pour 7 cups of cereal into bowl and set aside. Break Hershey’s bar into pips and set aside.
- Melt butter and salt in pot over medium heat. Once melted, add 5 cups mini marshmallows and stir until melted.
- Remove pot from heat and pour marshmallow mixture over cereal and mix thoroughly. Add one cup (or more!) of mini marshmallows and stir.
- Working quickly, pour the mixture into the pan and press down. Press Hershey pips onto the top of the bars. (Pro tip: add chocolate chunks into mixture with marshmallows in step 3.)
- Let sit for several hours or put in refrigerator for one hour before serving.
BOOM. They’re done. And they’re delicious. Try these for your next party or even just to emotionally eat your feelings while you watch Netflix on a rainy Saturday. Let me know how they turn out!
