S'more Bars

These bars were inspired from a campfire on the beach with some of our friends. It had been quite a while since I had had a s'more and after the delicious experience on the beach, it's all that I wanted for about a week after we got home. I thought there had to be a way to make s'mores the same way you make rice crispy treats. I tried it and it turned out so good! I did notice that the graham crackers got a little soft so I decided to put a little bit of a crispy rice cereal in it to keep the crisp factor up. I think in my childhood I had some type of these but made with Golden Graham Cereal. I remember the graham flavor of the cereal was too strong for me, but I think they could easily be substituted. These bars bring part of the camping experience to your kitchen.

S'more Bars

Ingredients

1 cube Butter or Margarine
1- 16 oz bag of Mini Marshmallows
2 pkgs Graham Crackers
1 1/2 c. Crispy Rice Cereal
1 c. Chocolate Chips -melted

Directions

Break up the graham crackers into a bowl with your hands into small bite size pieces.
In another large microwaveable bowl, melt the butter.
Add the marshmallows to the butter and coat evenly. Microwave the marshmallows about 30 seconds stirring very well after each. When they start melt and just start to string when stirring you know you are ready. *You don't want to over cook the marshmallows, this will make your bars hard.
Stir in the broken up graham crackers and the rice cereal. This may take some muscle.
Pour mixture onto a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper on it. Lightly wet your hands and smash and squish them flat to spread them around the pan. Make them as thick as you like.
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Heat the water in a pot to a boil and turn down to simmer. If you don't have a double boiler you can use a large glass bowl. Set the bowl with chocolate on top of the pot and stir till melted. Spoon the chocolate over the graham crackers and marshmallows.
Let it set for a few hours (I sometimes cheat and throw it in the freezer for a few minutes) and eat!

Yummm.
