Saturday brings a lot of extra work my way. All of the kiddos are home, and usually my hubby is too.  Today I’m playing catch-up around the house, and still decorating for the holidays, but before too long, one of the boys will be asking for a snack. I have a perfect one ready to go. We are going to make some super messy indoor smores for a simple Saturday snack.

For this recipe you’ll need:

• 6-7 Cups of Golden Grahams ( 6 if you want your bars super sticky, 7 if you don’t want them too sticky)
• 1 10 oz. package of Mini Marshmallows, or Gigantic ones, use whatever you have on hand
• 2 Tablespoons of Butter or Margarine
• about 1/2 cup of mini marshmallows and I added in what I had left in a bag of chocolate covered mini marshmallows.
• 1/4 to 1/2 cup of Milk Chocolate Chips (for the topping, totally optional)
• A large soup pot to melt the marshmallows, a small sauce pan and a small stainless steel bowl to make a double boiler, an large extra bowl, a silicone spatula, or wooden spoons, and a 9 x 13 pan greased with a little Crisco to give these tasty bars a place to hang out.

Start off your double boiler over low heat, add your chocolate chips to the stainless steel bowl, and give them a stir every once in awhile. Also start melting your 10 oz. package of  Marshmallows and margarine in a large pot over med-low heat. Combine your Cereal and extra marshmallows in a large bowl and set aside.

Everything is getting nice and melty. Once the marshmallows have completely melted add in your cereal and marshmallow mixture and stir. You need to move fast, so your added marshmallows don’t melt too much. Pour into your prepared pan and let it rest.

Time to add the yummy chocolate topping. I made a little cone out of some parchment paper, but you can also use a ziploc bag to decorate the treats.

Carefully spoon the melted chocolate into you parchment bag, and do be careful it is warm. Snip off the end of the bag, and streak across that tasty chocolate. Poof! Yummy indoor smores.

Delicious!

Let it set, and cut it into bars, but if you can’t wait, just eat it straight out of the pan. Let’s see what the experts say…

Thade liked the bars, even though they were a little sticky.

Dylan was a little reluctant to try them at first, but then dove into the dish and asked for seconds.

It is a fun and easy snack to make. Dylan wants to take them to preschool on snack day. Looks like this one is a keeper.

Happy Saturday!
