Ingredient Notes

• Golden Grahams Cereal – This cereal brings that toasty graham cracker flavor and crunchy texture. Stick with the classic version for the best results.
• Mini Marshmallows – They melt quickly and evenly, making them ideal for smooth, gooey clusters.
• Butter – Use unsalted butter to balance the sweetness, but salted works if you prefer a sweet-salty combo.
• Toffee Bits – These add a little crunch and buttery caramel flavor. Look for the kind without chocolate (like Heath Bits o’ Brickle) so the flavor doesn’t overpower the cereal.

Before You Make

Do I need to press the mixture into the pan first?
Yes—pressing it into a pan helps the mixture cool and hold together. Once set, you can scoop it into clusters using a cookie scoop or spoon.

Can I use large marshmallows instead of mini?
You can, but mini marshmallows melt faster and more evenly. If using large ones, chop them up or add extra melting time.

How long should I let it cool before scooping?
Let the mixture rest for about 30 minutes so it sets just enough to hold shape but still scoops easily.

FAQ

Can I double the recipe?
Yes! Just use a larger pot and press into a 9×13-inch pan.

How do I store Golden Grahams Marshmallow Clusters?
Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Avoid the fridge—it can make them hard.

Can I use a different cereal?
Sure! Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Honey Nut Cheerios, or even Rice Krispies work—just keep the same ratio.

Can I add chocolate chips or sprinkles?
Absolutely. Add them once the mixture has cooled slightly so they don’t melt completely.

Are these freezer-friendly?
They’re best fresh, but you can freeze them for up to 1 month. Let them come to room temp before serving.
