The look on my son-in-law’s face when he took a bite – awestruck says it best. Delicious, perfect to just leave on the counter during a family weekend at the cabin.

I have a farmer friend.
His name is Tyler.
Our visit to his farm revealed a few things:
- Farms are pretty.
- Don’t wear sandals on the farm.
- Fainting goats are so weird but hilariously cute.
- I will have a piglet for a pet someday.
- Tyler cooks.
That’s right. Farmer T cooks.
And when Farmer T cooks, he doesn’t forget dessert.
I would go so far as to say that they were the best s’mores bars I’ve ever had, ever, and I don’t take that statement lightly. That’s why I made them myself within 24 hours of returning home, shortly after showering off farm smells and downloading 1,000 pictures of the piglets onto my computer.
These are perfect for summer get-togethers because, simply put, they’re BOMB. I did that just to mess with you, by the way.
The real reason they’re perfect is because everyone loves them, they’re portable, they’re easy to make, and the chocolate doesn’t get all over everybody’s everything, unless you face plant into the pan. Is there anything better in this world than gooey chocolate filling in between crispy cereal and puffy mallows? At this moment, with a s’mores bar in each of my hands, my answer is a resounding no.
Face planting in this would be so amazing right now.

So, where do you buy piglets these days?
I made these gluten free with a mix of Catalina Crunch and Honey Chex. So delicious! Thank you for sharing so many amazing recipes!
oh good idea!
I have always loved these! I just gone done making my second batch this week and bought extra ingredients so that I can make them later this week!
What is the Canadian version of Golden Grahams?
So Yummy! 4th if July family cook out and this was a hit! Thanks gor sharing! YUMMY! S’mores are one of our favs and these definitely cure the craving!
These were tasty, although not sure why they needed the corn syrup as they were already very sweet without it. Not sure what happened I’ve made a different S’mores Bar recipe in the past that turned out fine, but these were piles, not bars. When I cut them and tried to put them in sandwich bags for a concessions stand, at my daughter’s talent show, they just fell apart. 😞 Disappointed.
She is right! These are the best!! I’m having a hard time waiting for them to cool all the way before I cut them tho. There is a whole corner gone already 😋
What is the shelf life for these? Do they need to be refrigerated?
Hi, Lee! Leftover bars should be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Excellent, love the addition of the corn syrup to help keep them softer and gooier. Of note our bag of mini marshmallows was 16 oz but we used the whole bag, worked fine. Also our box of cereal was not 13 oz, but it had 8 cups of cereal, anyway used the whole box of cereal and the whole bag of marshmallows and it turned out great. Of note always helpful to spray the measuring cup with cooking/baking spray before you pour in the sticky liquids makes them come out so much easier. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
Seriously amazing golden Graham s’mores. Thank you for the recipe.
Glad you liked the bars, Amy!
Made these for our 3 little boys. They were delicious. Kids had a good sugar rush (power hour) afterwards but it was worth it. Thanks for the great idea.
Haha! Power hour! ⚡️ Glad they enjoyed the bars!
Hey girlie!! I first made these months ago, my daughter absolutely loves them, and my bf, who actually is not very find of s’mores at all, absolutely loves them!! I end up using a lasagna pan (11×15 ish) and do a double batch in them, making them super thick! And they’re usually gone in a weekend if my daughter is here. If not, one day longer. My bf with cut HUGE bars, like 4×4”, each time he has one!! I made a couple additions, actually use Hershey’s chocolate chips, whole bag, a whole bag of large marshmallows, a cup of mini marshmallows, and an extra cup of cereal. Use the mini ones on the top of the bars then an extra handful of cereal on top, kinda like a garnish. But they are absolutely magnificent!! TYSM!!!
So happy to hear this, Jennifer! 🎉
Made these & followed directions but mine ended up stale & gummy texture. Not sure what happened? Cereal wasn’t outdated? Thoughts?
Hi, Johnna! So sorry to hear these bars didn’t turn out for you. It’s hard to say why they tasted stale and gummy. Maybe if the cereal was a generic brand it had a slightly different taste? Thanks for sharing this feedback with us though! We appreciate it. 🙂

Oh I can’t wait to to eat and share w my grandkids. So easy!
That looks like a 9×9 pan?? Can you confirm it makes a 13×9 pan-full? Thanks!
It’s 13×9! 🙂
Add vanilla? How much?
Heya! The recipe calls for a teaspoon, I use anywhere up to 2, depending on my mood lol!!
CAn you freeze these ?
Yes, they should freeze well!
These are seriously thee best things ever!!
Question though, I’ve always made them without corn syrup so I’m wondering if you have as well and if you can tell a difference or not?
We haven’t so can’t really say. Thanks for the comment!
Any tips for storing? I’m going to an event tomorrow should I make right before or is tonight okay? I’ve heard they can go soggy?
Hey there,
Just made these and I have to say, the flavor is OUT OF THIS WORLD! So yummy! I did, however, have a problem with the bars staying in bar form…Mine sort of crumbled into chunks instead of keeping their shape. Any thoughts of where I may have gone wrong?
I’ve made these following the recipe and also leaving out the corn syrup.
I love them without the corn syrup!
Thanks for the recipe, every time I make them, I share your recipe. They get eaten very fast!

Thanks for posting this. I remember these from when I was a kid, and they don’t put the recipe on the box of Golden Grahams anymore. When I made it, I added a few extra chips and marshmallows to the top while it was still warm. Turned out great. Thanks again. E
Glad you liked them! 🙂
