We really loved these s'mores. i made the mistake of following other reviews and used 6 cups of graham cereal, and 4 of the marshmallows. There was too much cereal and not enough of the chocolate mixture to hold it all together. We weren't even able to cut them into bars. Next time i will still mix the chocolate mixture into the cereal and marshmallows, but will use 4 cups of each instead!!

Very good! I was out of corn syrup and I'm glad I was since I thought they were very sweet w/o it. I kept out some of the marshmellows and chocolate chips like other posters said, and stirred them with the cereal and melted mixture in my Thatsa bowl to coat it well before pressing into pan. After sitting out a few hours they were not sticking together so I put them in the fridge and boy are they good!

I've been making a close variation of this recipe for a few years -- I can barley control myself when they're around! The key difference is the marshmallows...I add fewer, but add them just after the melted chocolate is mixed into the cereal. That way the marshmallows stay mostly in tact, yet melt slightly against the hot chocolate. The result is hitting additive little pockets of marshmallow when biting into the squares! Love them! Kids adore them too..."kids" of all ages! I've never tried making them without the corn syrup, but after reading one of the reviews here, I might try it -- to help curb my guilt a bit! I also add a bit of vanilla to the chocolate/syrup/butter mix after it's heated. Oh, after a day or so, they lose a little of their crisp freshness.

I have been making these since I was a kid. I use 6 cups Golden Grahams and 4 cups marshmellows. Once the marshmellows and chocolate have melted, I pour in 4 cups of the golden Grahams and stir and mix well. Then I pour in the additional 2 cups golden Grahams, 1/4 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup mini marshmellows. This way the last part of the cereal tastes a bit crunchy as it is not drowned in the chocolate and the marshmellows and chocolate chips do not melt for an added flavor. YUMMY! Always a hit camping!

with a few modifications this was exactly what I was looking for. 1) I melted 2c chocolate over a double boiler until just melted. 2) I mixed the marshmallows in with the cereal. It was perfect and tasted great.

I followed another reviewer's advice and used 6c graham cereal and four cups of marshmallows and got fantastic results! They are really messy and you have to eat them with a fork, but they are really sweet and gooey, and you can't stop eating them! They were really easy too--I used the microwave and got them made in about 10 minutes. My son and husband loved them, and I did too. Thanks for sharing.

A nice variation on ye olde cereal bar recipes. We were even able to make these bars a dairy-free treat for our allergic sons by using semi-sweet chocolate chips and dairy-free margarine. I added some extra mini marshmallows to the final mixture. Highly recommend these for harvest parties and bonfires!

Maybe it's all the real s'mores I've been eating this summer, but I thought these were a real disappointment. The choco/mallow mixture turned into a bland and greasy taffy. It would have been much better to leave some chocolate chips and marshmallows to mix in at the last minute.

I've been making this since I learned it in 6th grade home ec. Usually we've poured it into a big glob and eaten it that way - not even bothering for it to cool. Yum!

After reading reviews claiming the mallow/chocolate mixture set too quickly, I made sure not to overheat it (as that was what people claimed the issue was). Almost as soon as I added the chocolate, the mixture began to set. It was nearly impossible to get it mixed thoroughly. I ended up with chocolate everywhere and most of it stuck to the bowl. I also found that there was a lot more chocolate mixture than grahams. I think maybe 6cups of grahams would be better - provided you can get the mixture through an extra 2 cups of cereal before it sets. Although it was a pain in the butt to make, it does taste delicious.

This is a quick and easy recipe...and very tasty! I love chewy bars and this fits the bill. For those of you who had problems, I would recommend melting the chocolate mixture in the microwave. It will turn out much softer and easier to stir into the golden graham cereal. The only reason I can think of why the mixture would harden so fast is that it's being cooked too long or too high. If making on stovetop, try using a candy thermometer. I also added 1 tsp. vanilla to melted mixture and then stirred in one cup mini marshmallows after I stirred the chocolate/cereal mixture up a bit.

My mom has made these for us for years, but instead of melting everything, she just melts the chocolate with some butter and uses mini marshmallows and mixes them with the golden grahams stirring in the melted chocolate.

I tried this without the corn syrup, and I liked it a lot better... I also added about a cup of marshmallows to throw in with the cereal so they stay whole and chewy. A really delicious recipe! (and EASY)

Awesome! My husband and son love these s'mores bars. I add crushed cereal and mini marshmallows on top. This lets people know what's inside the bars and also makes them more fun, I think!

If your mixture hardened too fast, you probably cooked it rather than heating it just to melting. I think this is better made the day before and given a chance to set up well. Then it is fudgy but not gooey.
