S’mores Cereal Bars are a crunchy, chocolatey mix of Golden Grahams cereal, gooey marshmallows and butter pressed into thick bars and studded with chocolate chunks. They’re the perfect no-bake treat when you’re craving s’mores but don’t want to build a campfire or turn on the oven.
If you’re looking for a more classic baked version, my traditional s’mores bars use graham crackers and bake up gooey and rich. These cereal bars are the quicker, no-bake cousin.

Why You'll Love S'mores Cereal Bars
- Make in microwave or on stovetop
- Use any square, lightly sweetened cereal you'd like
- Chocolate chips may be used instead of chocolate chunks
These cereal bars don’t require turning on the oven. They’re perfect for warm days or quick dessert emergencies or dessert when there's not much in your pantry.
Cereal Bar Ingredients
- Golden Grahams cereal
- Miniature Marshmallows
- Salted or unsalted butter
- Chocolate chunks
Step by Step to Making These Bars
Recipe Tips
- Make sure to melt the butter and marshmallows over low heat on the stove top or in the microwave. Butter burns quickly as does sugar (marshmallows).
- Wait 60 seconds for the cereal mixture to cool slightly before adding half the chocolate chunks so that the chocolate doesn't immediately melt into streaks.
- Coat your hands with non-stick spray or butter or use a piece of wax paper to press the cereal mixture into your pan.
Storage and Make Ahead Tips
Store wrapped bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
To freeze, wrap tightly in parchment or plastic wrap and place in an airtight container. Freeze for up to one month.

If you’re deciding between recipes, these no-bake s’mores cereal bars are lighter and crunchier, while my classic s’mores bars are thicker thanks to a baked graham cracker crust.
