Golden Graham Treats

This is essentially the Rice Krispie treat recipe, only using Golden Grahams cereal instead of Rice Krispies to create a s'more type bar.  

Ingredients:

3 T. butter or margarine
4 c. marshmallows (large or small, if large use heaping cups or entire 10 oz. package)
6 c. Golden Grahams cereal
1/2 c. chocolate chips
Additional mini marshmallows (optional)

Add butter to a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave 30 seconds or until completely melted.  Add marshmallows.  Microwave 2 minutes, stirring halfway through.  Marshmallows should be completely melted and just beginning to liquefy*.  Add cereal.  Mix thoroughly.  Add chocolate chips and additional mini marshmallows, if desired**.  Transfer mixture to greased 9x13 in baking pan.  Use wax paper coated with butter or cooking spray to pack down mixture evenly in the pan.  Allow to cool.  Cut into squares and serve.

*Microwave times may very.  Adjust accordingly.
**Allowing the marshmallow/cereal mixture to cool slightly, but not set will keep the chocolate chips and additional marshmallows in tact in the finished bars.  Adding them immediately will cause them to incorporate more.  Adjust to your preference.

Quick Golden Grahams Snack Mix
Sometimes for a quick lunchbox addition or after school snack, I'll mix the ingredients together as a loose trail mix type mix.  Just mix a handful of cereal, mini marshmallows, and a few chocolate chips in a baggie or bowl.  Whenever I add this to my kid's lunch, he always asks for a repeat after school or the next day.
