Peanut Butter Cup Golden Grahams S’mores Bars.

We adore these golden grahams smores bars with peanut butter cups! Super melty, marshmallowy and ridiculously crunchy, these bars are like a giant crunchy s’more filled with mini peanut butter cups. Everyone goes wild for them!

Here’s to the crispiest, crunchiest treat you can make this season.

These golden grahams s’mores bars are filled with melty marshmallows and mini peanut butter cups. They are gooey and crunchy and filled with the best flavor combo in the universe: chocolate and peanut butter.

If you haven’t tried the golden grahams treats, you must. They are basically rice krispy treats, but with golden grahams.

And I don’t even know how to say this, but golden grahams are kind of better than regular graham crackers.

YEP.

I said it. 

They are so thin and crunchy and crispy. Poured into a bowl of milk… the texture is phenomenal. So I can’t even begin to express how great they are mixed with melty marshmallows, brown butter, peanut butter cups… 

I mean, oh my gosh. 

This is how I make them!

First, brown a stick of butter. LOVE this. I let it bubble and get some brown bits.

Then, I stir in the marshmallows. Let them get super melty and creamy. Add a splash of vanilla too!

Next, take everything off the heat. Stir in a bunch of the graham cereal. 

THEN, stir in some mini peanut butter cups! I love the ones from trader joes, but reese’s makes them now too! 

The key is doing a quick fold so they don’t totally melt. Use a strong, sturdy spatula because the marshmallows are sticky and can be hard to stir. 

I press the entire mixture into a 9×13 dish using parchment paper to press and pack. 

The best part about these? They only need, like, 30 minutes to set. Maybe not even that!

On the flipside, you can make them an entire day ahead of time before slicing them. Super fun and versatile for a summer cookout!

These taste like the most dreamy s’more. The texture is WILD. I am such a texture lover and this might be the best textured treat I have ever made.

Ridiculously crunchy.

Crispy and chewy.

But melty and gooey at the same time!

Ingredients

• 1 stick (8 tablespoons) salted butter
• 26 ounces mini marshmallows
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 10 cups golden grahams cereal
• 2 cups mini peanut butter cups

Instructions 

• As a note, I buy 1 large (16 ounce) bag and 1 small (10 ounce) bag of mini marshmallows! This makes it super easy.
• Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with nonstick spray. I like avocado spray.
• First, measure out 1 cup of mini marshmallows and set them aside.
• Place the butter in a large stock pot over medium heat. Let it melt and bubble until it begins to brown a bit.
• Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the rest of the marshmallows. Stir with a spatula until the marshmallows melt. Make sure to keep this over low heat!
• Once the marshmallows are melted, turn off the heat. Stir in the vanilla. Stir in the golden grahams, adding half and stirring, then adding the remaining half. Try to fold and stir until they are well combined.
• Add the remaining 1 cup of marshmallows and the mini peanut butter cups. Work quickly but gently, stirring in the marshmallows and peanut butter cups.
• Press the mixture into the greased pan. I use a sheet of parchment or wax paper to press the mixture into the pan well, getting into the corners and making sure the top is even.
• Let the bars sit for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Serve!
