S'Mores Cereal Bar

Love s’mores? Now you can have them for breakfast. Start your day off right with our delicious s’mores cereal bar. Made with real marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers, it’s the perfect way to get your morning sugar fix.

If you already love the classic Golden Grahams cereal, then this is a perfect way to make it easier to eat. Yes, this is a snack, but it could be a breakfast or even used as a dessert. If having it for breakfast, I recommend serving it with milk and some fruit for a bit more of a balanced start to the day.

How to Make a S'Mores Cereal Bar

Begin by melting the marshmallows with butter. This can be done in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat, or in a large bowl in the microwave. If using the microwave, I recommend doing so on low heat for 1 minute, then for 30-second increments until just melted.

Now, add in the chocolate chips and the Golden Grahams cereal.

Stir until combined.

Next, grease an 8"x8" baking dish with non-stick spray, or line it with parchment paper.

Pour the marshmallow and cereal mixture into the dish, pressing down firmly to compact it. This process is similar to making a rice cereal treat.

Once you have it in a firm even layer, cover it with plastic wrap or a lid, and let it sit to setup for at least 1 hour.

When they have set, you can cut them into squares or "bars".

If desired, drizzle melted chocolate over the top of the bars. You could even sprinkle the top with crushed graham crackers if you want even more texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Does the Word S’More Mean?

The word s’more is a contraction of the phrase “some more.” This delicious treat has been around since at least 1927 when the Girl Scouts began selling them at campfires. Today, s’mores are still popular treats to make and eat outdoors during summertime activities like camping and barbecues.

How Long Are Homemade S’Mores Treat Bars Good?

Homemade s’mores cereal bars can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

If you want them to last a bit longer, store them in the refrigerator for up to one week. Be sure to wrap them individually or store them in an airtight container so they remain fresh and delicious.

If you make a large batch, you can also freeze some of the bars for up to three months. Just remember to let them come to room temperature before serving for the best flavor and texture.

Can I Make Treat Bars with Marshmallow Fluff?

No. While marshmallow fluff can be used to make delicious s’mores treats, it does not work for treat bars or bars that need to be set. Instead, use regular marshmallows and melt them gently in the microwave.

What Makes S’Mores Cereal Bars Special?

S’mores cereal bars are special because they combine all of the classic s’mores ingredients into one convenient and delicious snack. They’re great for breakfast, lunch boxes, after-school snacks, or just a sweet treat to enjoy any time of day. Plus, they make an excellent alternative to traditional s’mores when camping or having a bonfire.
