Ingredients
- 1 stick salted butter 8 tablespoons
- 26 ounces mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 10 cups Golden Grahams cereal
- 2 cups mini peanut butter cups
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Baking Dish - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2: Melt the Butter and Marshmallows - In a large saucepan over low heat, combine the stick of salted butter and 26 ounces of mini marshmallows. Stir continuously until melted and smooth, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 3: Combine with Golden Grahams - In a large mixing bowl, pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the Golden Grahams cereal. Gently fold until fully coated, being careful not to crush the cereal.
Step 4: Add Peanut Butter Cups - Fold in the mini peanut butter cups into the mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Step 5: Transfer to Baking Dish - Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Using a spatula, press the mixture firmly into the dish to create an even layer.
Step 6: Cool and Set - Allow the bars to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. For best results, refrigerate for an additional hour.
Step 7: Slice and Serve - Once set, cut the bars into squares or rectangles and serve.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
- For longer storage, keep in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- You can freeze the bars for up to three months; just make sure to wrap them tightly.
