Everybody love s’mores, right? But we can all agree they’re a big mess. I kind of hate getting messy. And sticky. Ew. So I found a way to make these yummy treats less messy…and more delicious.
Enter into the equation our dear friend peanut butter. This guy makes everything better and these bars are no exception! So as summer is drawing to a close and you start getting invited to bonfires – bring these bad boys to share. You will instantly be best friends with everyone there 😉
Instead of graham crackers I used Golden Grahams cereal. It’s perfect.
Part of the chocolate chips get stirred into the mix while the marshmallow goodness is still hot, so they juuuuust start to melt.
The generous scoop of peanut butter adds a creaminess that helps keep these bars gooey. Drool.
Have I convinced you yet? Go make these!

If i were to use Graham Crackers vs Graham Cracker cereal, do you know how many Graham Crackers I would use and do you cut them into small chunks?
Stephanie Brubaker says
I would use the same amount – 6 cups. And yes, break them up in bite size pieces. I really recommend using the cereal if you can though, it’s so good! Enjoy, Sarah 🙂
Gloria says
These look great. I used to make the recipe on the Golden Graham box. Yours look better–peanut butter and chocolate chips–yum!
Could you please tell me if you used mini marshmallows or large ones?
Thanks!
Gloria
Stephanie Brubaker says
Thanks, Gloria! I used mini marshmallows 🙂
Gloria says
Stephanie, thanks so much for the reply! That’s what I figured. Just wanted to make sure. I am making these to take to a birthday party in a couple of weeks. I am sure they will be a hit!
Thanks, again!

Hayley @ The Domestic Rebel says
Golden Grahams… one of my favorite cereals and now, one of my favorite stars in s’mores bars! I LOVE pairing pb with s’mores… it cuts back some of the chocolate (sadly, I’m crazed and think there *can* be such a thing as too much chocolate) plus hello, fluffernutters?! Amazeballs. These look awesome and gooey without being too sticky… love!
Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust says
Oh wow. You took golden grahams up a notch. Peanut butter? To. Die. For. And I’m all about the no mess. Outdoors? What’s that?
