Golden Grahams S'mores

Diane Brinkerhoff shared this Betty Crocker recipe with us on the 4th of July.  It is very addicting and messy!!  But so worth it!

Golden Graham S'mores
8 c. Golden Grahams™ cereal
5 1/2 c. miniature marshmallows, divided
1 1/2 c. milk chocolate chips
5 T. butter or margarine
1/4 c. sugar
1 T. water
1 t. vanilla
Grease 13x9-inch pan with butter. Measure cereal into large bowl.
Reserve 1 cup of the marshmallows. In 3-quart saucepan, heat remaining 4 1/2 cups marshmallows, the chocolate chips, butter, sugar and water over low heat, stirring occasionally, until completely melted. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Pour marshmallow mixture over cereal in bowl; stir until evenly coated. Stir in remaining 1 cup marshmallows.
Press firmly in pan. Cool at least 1 hour until firm. For bars, cut into 6 rows by 4 rows. Store loosely covered at room temperature.

For the Microwave:
Grease 13x9-inch pan with butter. Measure cereal into large bowl. Reserve 1 cup of the marshmallows. In large microwavable bowl, microwave remaining 4 1/2 cups marshmallows, the chocolate chips, butter, sugar and water uncovered on High 2 minutes to 3 minutes 30 seconds, stirring after every minute, until melted and smooth when stirred. Stir in vanilla. Continue as directed in recipe.

Hints:
If you spray your bowl with cooking spray before using it, you'll have less mess to clean when you're done.
The sugar and water can be replaced with 1/4 cup corn syrup.
If you prefer your marshmallows more visible in the bars, just a wait a minute or two after mixing the warm chocolate and marshmallow mixture into the cereal to allow it to cool slightly before you stir in the final cup of marshmallows.
