How to Make S’mores Bark With Golden Grahams
Ingredients:
- 3 cups milk chocolate chips
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup Golden Grahams cereal (or generic equivalent)
- ½ cup marshmallow fluff (creme)
- ¼ cup marshmallow bits (or ½ cup mini marshmallows)
Directions:
- Prepare Your Baking Sheet: Line a baking or cookie sheet with wax paper, parchment paper, or a silicone baking mat.
- Melt the Milk Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, add the milk chocolate chips. Cook on high for 30 seconds, stir, then continue cooking in additional 30-second increments. Stir between each increment until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Spread the Chocolate: Pour the melted milk chocolate onto the lined baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it out into an even layer, about ¼” to ½” thick.
- Melt the White Chocolate: In another bowl, melt the white chocolate chips. Start with 30 seconds in the microwave, then continue with 15-second increments, stirring each time until smooth.
- Combine with Marshmallow Fluff: Fold the marshmallow fluff into the melted white chocolate. Mix until well combined, but be aware that the mixture will be thick.
- Layer the White Chocolate: Drop dollops of the white chocolate and marshmallow fluff mixture over the milk chocolate layer. Use a butter knife to gently drag back and forth, creating a marbled effect.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the Golden Grahams and marshmallow bits on top. Press them down gently so they stick to the chocolate.
- Chill to Set: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 30 minutes or the refrigerator for an hour until the bark is set.
- Break into Pieces: Once set, break the bark into pieces using your hands, a sharp knife, or a mallet. Enjoy your delicious treat!
