Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 6 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 (12-ounce) bag jumbo marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cereals and Mix-ins
- 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 2 cups Golden Grahams cereal
- 2 1/2 cups mini marshmallows (divided)
- 4 Hershey bars (broken into pieces)
Instructions
- Prepare the baking dish: Line a 9×9 inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly butter it to prevent sticking.
- Melt the butter and marshmallows: In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the jumbo marshmallows and stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Add vanilla and cereals: Remove the saucepan from heat, then stir in the vanilla extract. Immediately mix in the Rice Krispies cereal, Golden Grahams cereal, and 1 1/2 cups of the mini marshmallows, stirring until evenly combined.
- Layer the first half: Spread half of the cereal-marshmallow mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle half of the Hershey bars pieces and half of the remaining mini marshmallows evenly over this layer.
- Top with remaining mixture and toppings: Add the remaining cereal mixture on top, gently pressing it down without compacting too much. Finish by topping with the remaining Hershey bar pieces and mini marshmallows.
- Cool and serve: Let the layered treats cool completely at room temperature, allowing them to set before cutting into squares for serving.
Notes
- Use parchment paper for easier removal and cleaner edges.
- Press the mixture lightly to keep the treats airy and chewy rather than dense.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For extra gooeyness, briefly warm the cut treats in the microwave before serving.
