Makes 12 bars
Ingredients
¼ cup salted butter *
¼ cup dark brown sugar
⅓ cup honey *
¼ tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup mini Dandies® Vegan Marshmallows
½ cup graham cracker crumbs
1 - 12oz bag Michele’s Cocoa Chocolate Chip Granola, crushed in the bag into rough crumbs
Directions
- In a small saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar together. Turn off heat and add honey, salt and vanilla. Whisk to combine. Take off the stove to allow to cool a few minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine marshmallows, granola crumbs, and graham cracker crumbs. Drizzle in the warm (not hot!) honey syrup and stir together.
- Very firmly compress the bar mixture in a 9-inch square baking pan lined with parchment paper. Press with wet hands, or you can cover the pan with plastic wrap or parchment to more tightly compress the bars.
- Cover and refrigerate for about 2 hours (freeze for 30 minutes) before cutting into 12 bars.
- Store in the fridge or freezer and enjoy!
*Kitchen Tip
Make these bars vegan with a few simple swaps:
- Use a vegan butter, like Miyoko’s or Earth Balance
- In place of honey, use brown rice syrup
- In a fun surprise, classic Nabisco Original Grahams are vegan!
