S’Mores Bars

Ingredients

• 18 whole graham crackers, crumbled into small pieces
• 2 cups crispy rice cereal
• 1 cup Karo® Light Corn Syrup
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter OR margarine
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Spice Islands® Pure Vanilla Extract
• 6 (1.55 ounce) bars milk chocolate candy
• 1 (10 ounce) package mini marshmallows
• 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Steps

1. Preheated the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan; set aside.
2. Combine crackers and rice cereal in a large bowl; set aside.
3. Heat corn syrup and sugar together in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until begins to boil around edges, 4 to 5 minutes. Alternatively, combine corn syrup and sugar in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high until begins to boil, about 2 minutes. Stir in butter, baking soda, and vanilla.
4. Pour syrup over cereal mixture; stir to coat. Transfer mixture to the prepared pan; press firmly to even top. Place chocolate bars in a single layer over cereal mixture; sprinkle with marshmallows.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until marshmallows are puffed and lightly brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from oven; top with mini chocolate chips.
6. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Cut into squares. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
