- 5 tablespoons butter (or margarine)
- 1/4 cup corn syrup
- 7 cups Golden Grahams cereal
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions

- Step 3: Melt the mixture over low heat, stirring gently with a rubber spatula until smooth and fully combined.
- Step 4: Remove the pan from heat and immediately stir in the Golden Grahams cereal and the remaining 1 cup of mini marshmallows; the mixture will be very sticky.
- Step 5: Spoon the sticky batter into the prepared pan and flatten it out evenly using the back of a spatula. Lightly greasing the spatula can help prevent sticking.

Tips & Variations

- Use dark or white chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate for a different taste.
