Indoor S'mores!!

S'mores are one of the best things about a campfire! If, like us, you think it is too cold and snowy to go outside and make a fire so that you can enjoy a s'more (although we did do this yesterday because it was finally not ridiculously cold and we wanted to cook on a fire we are crazy), then you should make these! They are easy, don't require an oven (or a campfire), and taste so good!

 This recipe has only golden graham cereal, chocolate chips, marshmallows, corn syrup, butter, and vanilla. Nothing fancy!   

 This is what the butter, marshmallows, chocolate chips, and corn syrup should look like when they are melted.

 At the end, you can stir in extra mini marshmallows, but we didn't have any left over. :(

 These bars are really sticky when you try to press them into the pan, so make sure you butter your hands or the spatula you are using!!

 Th recipe we used actually came off of the Golden Grahams box!! Without further a due, here is the recipe:

 Ingredients:

• 8 cups Golden Graham cereal
• 5 cups miniature marshmallows
• 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (original recipe calls for milk chocolate. We used semi-sweet, so use whatever kind you like the best. )
• 1/4 cup light corn syrup
• 5 tablespoons butter 
• 1 teaspoon vanilla (We actually forgot to add this and we couldn't tell a difference)
• 1 cup miniature marshmallows for mixing in at the end,optional

Directions:

1. Butter a 9x13 inch pan.
2. Measure cereal into a large bowl.
3. Melt marshmallows, chocolate chips, corn syrup, and butter in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.
4. Pour chocolate mixture over the cereal. Quickly toss to coat evenly (this stuff gets thick and sticky really fast, so mix everything together quickly so that it doesn't get too thick to do so). Stir in the extra marshmallow, if desired.
5. Press into prepared pan. Let stand uncovered for at least an hour (You can also refrigerate them, which makes the bars a little firmer. This is what we do.)
6. Cut into bars and try not to eat them all...we didn't eat all of them... maybe only half of them :)

Let us know what you think of these! What is your favorite part of camping/ camp fires? We love when we come inside and our clothes smell like campfire. Someone should bottle this smell! They could be rich (or are we the only ones who like that smell?)!
