The Complete Guide to Mastering Golden Grahams S'mores

Storing Leftovers:

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature. This keeps the s'mores fresh and prevents them from becoming hard or stale.

Garnishing for Presentation:

Feel free to customize the presentation by adding sprinkles or crushed nuts on top. This not only adds flavor but also makes the s'mores look even more inviting.

Slicing Even Portions:

Use a sharp knife to cut the cooled s'mores into even squares. This ensures everyone gets a fair share and maintains the layered structure, making each piece visually appealing.

Cooling Period:

Let the assembled s'mores cool for about 10 minutes. This enables the layers to set properly, making the squares easier to cut and serve.

Layering for Crunch:

After adding the marshmallows, place more Golden Grahams on top to seal in the filling. This creates a delightful crunch with every bite, enhancing the overall texture.

Toasting the Marshmallows:

To achieve that iconic s'mores flavor, toast the marshmallows until golden brown. This can be done either in the oven or using a kitchen torch for that caramelized finish.

Melting the Chocolate:

Spread chocolate chips over the baked base while it’s still warm. The heat will melt the chocolate perfectly, ensuring it becomes ooey-gooey when you take a bite.

Preparing the Base:

Start by combining the Golden Grahams with melted butter and brown sugar. Press the mixture firmly into the baking dish to ensure it binds well while baking, creating the perfect crunchy foundation for the s'mores.

Pro Chef Secrets

Adding sea salt on top enhances the flavors and adds a sweet-savory balance.

For a unique twist, try adding a layer of peanut butter between the chocolate and marshmallows for extra creaminess.

You can prepare the base a day in advance and add the toppings right before serving.

Create mini s'mores by using a cupcake pan for single servings, perfect for parties.

Ingredients

For the Base:

2 cups Golden Grahams cereal

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

For the Filling:

8 large marshmallows

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Assembly:

8 additional Golden Grahams for topping

Optional: sprinkles or crushed nuts for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This prepares your oven for melting the chocolate and toasting the marshmallows perfectly.

Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of Golden Grahams, melted butter, and brown sugar until evenly coated. This mixture will create a sweet base for your s'mores.

Step 3: Spread the Golden Grahams mixture into a greased 9x9-inch baking dish, pressing down firmly to create an even layer. This ensures your base holds together after baking.

Step 4: Bake the mixture in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning.

Step 5: Remove from the oven and evenly sprinkle 1 cup of chocolate chips over the hot base. The heat will begin to melt the chocolate immediately.

Step 6: Place the 8 large marshmallows on top of the melted chocolate, ensuring they are evenly distributed. If desired, you can slightly toast the marshmallows with a kitchen torch for a caramelized flavor.

Step 7: Return the dish to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes until the marshmallows are puffy and lightly golden. Watch closely to prevent burning.

Step 8: Remove from the oven and place 8 additional Golden Grahams on top to lock in the s'mores filling. This adds extra crunch and deliciousness.

Step 9: Let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing into squares. This allows the layers to set, making them easier to serve.

Step 10: Optional: Garnish with sprinkles or crushed nuts for extra flavor and texture before serving. Enjoy your homemade Golden Grahams s'mores!
