S’Mores Bars

1. Combine the ground graham crackers with the cereal in a large mixing bowl; set aside.

2. Cook corn syrup and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a boil just around edges. Remove from heat; stir in butter, baking soda and vanilla. (Or, in a 1-quart microwave-safe bowl, microwave on high or 100% power for about 2 minutes or until syrup boils.)

3. Pour syrup over the cereal mixture and stir to coat completely. Transfer to a greased 13 x 9-inch pan and press firmly to level. Place chocolate bars in a single layer over the cereal mixture then sprinkle with marshmallows. (Sometimes I put this in the oven for a minute or two to get the chocolate bars hot before I put the marshmallows on. This is only if the chocolate bars are cold.)

4. Bake in a preheated 400°F oven for 5 to 8 minutes or until marshmallows are puffed and lightly browned. Remove from oven and top with mini chocolate chips.

5. Refrigerate for 1 hour until firm, then cut into squares. Store in a tightly closed container for up to 2 days.
