The Stairway to Heaven

This has got my mom’s name ALL OVER IT!  It is a 100% mom creation that got carried away.  But just the right amount of carried away that it looks amazing and not like a big pile of shit (sorry to be so literal).

In order to replicate The Stairway to Heaven, there is an initial recipe to follow and then a DIY portion.  For part 1, you will be making Golden Graham Treats.  Because the recipe makes an entire tray, you can eat these separately and they freeze well!

Ingredients:

• 1 Box of Golden Grahams Cereal

• 1 Bag of small Marshmallows (10 oz)

• 1/4 Cup of Butter

• 2 Cups Chocolate Chips

• Non-Stick Cooking Spray

These are the additional ingredients you will need for part 2.

• Box of Oreos

• Bag of White Chocolate Chips

• Jar of Nutella

• Jar of Fudge

Part 1 Directions:

*Golden Graham Treats*

1. Cover each and every space and crevasse of a 9×13 pan with Non-Stick Spray.  (Disposable Aluminum Pans are great because you don’t have to worry about cleaning all of the grease off when you’re done)

2. In a large saucepan, melt the butter (medium-low heat) and then add the marshmallows.  Make sure you continuously stir until the consistency becomes like a marshmallow sauce.

3. Remove from heat and add the Golden Grahams.

4. Coat the Golden Grahams evenly with the marshmallow sauce.  **TIP** Spray the spatula you intend to use for mixing with Non-Stick Spray to help prevent sticking as the marshmallows begin to harden.

5. Stir in the chocolate chips, about 1 3/4 of a cup to the mixture.

6. Once all of the ingredients are combined, scoop the mixture out of the saucepan into the 9×13 pan and spread it evenly.  (You may want to press down the top with the spatula so that the Golden Grahams are flat and even)

7. Pop the pan into the refrigerator to let it harden and cool for at least 30 minutes or sit on the counter for at least an hour.

8. Once completely cooled, flip the pan over onto a cutting board.  Using a serrated knife, cut the Golden Graham treats into approximately 1.5″ x 1.5″ cubes.

*If you want to make it even more like a s’mores bar, top each piece before serving with few marshmallows and use a kitchen torch to roast them.

Part 2 Directions:

*Assembly of The Stairway to Heaven*

1. Take out 1 or 2 pieces of the Golden Graham Treats as well as the additional ingredients listed above.  (This includes the remaining 1/4 Cup of chocolate chips that were not used in the first recipe)

2. Fill a glass or mason jar (any size you’d like) with fudge.

3. Break apart pieces of the Golden Graham Treats and start to stack them on top of the fudge.  Spoon some drops of Nutella as you build to help everything stick together.

4. Crush a couple of Oreos and begin placing them sporadically throughout the ever growing mountain.  Repeat with pieces of marshmallow, chocolate chips, and white chocolate chips.

5. Once the “stairway” is as full and high as you’d like, grab a spoon and attempt to dig in!
