No Bake Smores Bars

My kids found this recipe on Pinterest. It was super easy to make and the kids loved it.

Ingredients

½ cup heavy cream
2 cups (approximately 5 bars) Hershey's chocolate
3½ cups mini marshmallows
4 cups Golden Grahams

Directions

Line an 8-inch-square baking pan with heavy-duty foil and set aside.

In a large microwave safe bowl, add the heavy cream and heat on high in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, until it starts to bubble. Add the milk chocolate and whisk until smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Allow cooling, stirring occasionally, for 5-8 minutes.

Add marshmallows and golden Grahams and stir to coat.

Spread mixture into prepared pan, pressing down lightly with a rubber spatula. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm. Cut into bars and enjoy!
