stuck indoors s’mores

It’s still raining here, and are we ever looking forward to summer.

Here’s a treat that gives you a taste of the yummy campfire treat without the campfire.

It is also a treat that makes it so I stock up on Golden Grahams when there is a sale.

And it’s not a healthy treat, but life without dessert is meaningless.

Indoor S’mores

(Recipe from bettycrocker.com)

8 cups Golden Grahams cereal

5 cups mini marshmallows

1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips

1/4 cup light corn syrup

5 Tblsp. butter or margarine

1 tsp. vanilla

1 cup of mini marshmallows

1. In a large bowl, measure cereal. Butter a 9x13 pan. In large microwavable bowl, microwave 5 cups marshmallows, chocolate chips, corn syrup, and butter uncovered on High 2 minutes to 3 minutes 30 seconds, stirring after every minute, until melted and smooth when stirred. Stir in vanilla.

2. Pour over cereal and quickly toss until completely coated. Stir in 1 cup marshmallows

3. Press mixture evenly in pan using the buttered back of a spoon. Let stand uncovered, at least one hour. Or refrigerate if you prefer a firmer bar. (or just eat some of the gooey mess, still warm, if you are like me.) Cut into bars and enjoy.

4. Work out longer tomorrow.
