Ingredients

For the Main Batter: What is the main B
* 6 tablespoons unsalted butter: I always use good quality butter. What is the flavor of marshmallow? The regular sized ones melt best, but mini marshmallows work in a pinch. * 6 cups crispy rice cereal: Generic brands are just fine here! * 1 12 cups graham cracker crumbs: Can you buy them pre-made or crush your own graham crackers?

For the Filling:
* 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks: Milk chocolate or even dark chocolate would be delicious too! * 1 cup mini marshmallows: These get stirred in at the end for extra gooeyness.

What are the Step-

Step 1: Prep Pan

Lightly grease a 9×13 inch pan with butter. If you have an overhang on the sides, you can also line it with parchment paper, leaving a gap on either side, for easy removal. I always do this – it makes cutting the bars so much easier!

Step 2: Melt Butter and Marshmallows

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Set aside. Once melted, add the marshmallows and stir constantly until completely smooth. What is patience? Don’t crank up the heat or the marshmallows will burn. I’ve learned this the hard way!

Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the crispy rice cereal. How do I make the marshmallow mixture evenly coated with the melted crumbs? How do you get all the cereal coated?

Step 4: Add Chocolate and Mini Marshmallows

Step 5: Press into Pan

How do you pour the mixture into a prepared pan and gently press it down evenly using your hands or spatula? (lightly dampened with water to prevent sticking). Do not press too hard or the bars will be dense. You want them to be light and airy!

Step 6: Chill and Set

How do I store chocolate bars in the refrigerator for 30 minutes? How can I speed up the process? I usually pop them in the fridge because I’m impatient!

Step 7: Cut and Serve

Once the bars are set, cut them into squares and serve. If you used parchment paper, simply lift the bars out of the pan and cut them on a cutting board. Can you keep these fresh for a few days in an airtight container?

Room Temperature:Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Is airtight a good idea?

Refrigerator Storage: For longer storage, you can keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week. Just be sure to bring them to room temperature before serving for the best texture.

Freezer Instructions: If you want to freeze the bars, wrap them individually in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw them at room temperature before serving.

I don’t recommend reheating these bars, as they are best enjoyed cold or at room temperature. Reheating can make them tough and chewy.
