10.5ouncesminiature marshmallows, 10.5 oz bag (5½ cups)
1cupmini milk chocolate chips(9 oz)
5tablespoonsbutter or margarine
1teaspoonvanilla
8cups Malt-O-Meal S'Mores cereal, (1/2 bag)
Optional garnish
1/4cupmini chocolate chips
1tspmilk or half and half
Instructions
Lightly spray or butter a 13x9-inch pan and set aside. In a large saucepan, melt the butter and bag of marshmallows over low heat. Stir until completely melted. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla.
Pour in the cereal and chocolate chips into the saucepan. With a large spoon, mix until coated with the melted chocolate mixture.
With the back of a buttered spoon or oiled hands, press the mixture into the pan.
For the optional garnish: Melt chocolate with milk in a microwave safe bowl for about 20 seconds. Stir until smooth. If not completely smooth, heat in microwave for another 10 seconds or so and stir again until smooth. Overheating the chocolate can cause it to seize up. Drizzle melted chocolate over the top with the tines of a fork or by placing the chocolate into a plastic sandwich bag and snipping off a corner of the bag and freehand piping it over the top of the cereal bars.
Cool at least 1 hour or until firm. Store covered at room temperature.
Notes
The Malt-O-Meal brand S'Mores cereal contains enough cereal to make a double batch of these bars. The extra chocolate bits and chocolate garnish may be easily omitted without any other changes to the recipe.
