Ingredients

6 - 1.55 ounce Hershey's milk chocolate bars divided
1/2 cup salted butter
10 cups mini marshmallows divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
9 cups Golden Grahams cereal

Instructions

Take 3 of the chocolate bars and chop them up into ½ inch pieces, place them on a plate.
6 - 1.55 ounce Hershey's milk chocolate bars
Break the remaining 3 bars into separate sections and place them on a plate. Put the plates in the fridge until later.
Line a 9×13 baking dish with foil letting it overlap the sides for easy removal later and spray it with cooking spray or grease it with butter, set aside.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
1/2 cup salted butter
Add 8 cups of the marshmallows and stir constantly until they are melted with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula.
10 cups mini marshmallows
Take the pot off the heat and stir in the vanilla.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add Golden Grahams and stir them in until coated in the melted marshmallows.
9 cups Golden Grahams cereal
Add the remaining marshmallows and chopped chocolate, stir until combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and press it down lightly to form an even top.
Gently press in the remaining chocolate pieces.
Let it sit for about an hour to set and cool before taking the bars out by lifting the foil out of the pan. Cut into bars and serve.

Notes

Use a Large Bowl: If you melt the butter and marshmallows in a medium saucepan, you can then pour them into a large bowl of cereal.
Press Lightly: When forming an even layer in the square baking pan, press mixture gently so they’re not rock-hard. Over-pressing can make them too dense.
Nonstick Cooking Spray or Butter: Grease your hands or a spatula with a little oil or butter so the cereal doesn’t stick while you press.
Try Different Kinds of Cereal: Lucky charms treats, monster cereal, or even a high-protein brand can create a unique spin each time you make these.
Mind the Heat: Melt your marshmallows and butter on low heat or medium heat to avoid burning the bottoms.
Plan for Leftovers: Since they stay good at room temperature for a few days, you can pack them in lunches or share with friends.
