Golden Grahams S’mores – a delicious and simple combination of Golden Grahams Cereal, mini marshmallows and milk chocolate.
If you read MBA on a regular basis, you may remember me discussing my new position at work. One of the duties of this new position is heading up The Box Tops for Education program. In case you’re not aware of the program, it’s one of the nation’s largest school fundraising loyalty programs and has been helping schools succeed since 1996. So far, America’s schools have earned over $525 million from Box Tops.
You basically clip small Box Top coupons from over 240 participating products such as Ziploc, Cheerios, Betty Crocker and Land O’ Lakes. Schools collect the coupons (each is worth 10¢), count them up and turn them into Box Tops for Education. In return, Box Tops for Education provides the school with a check to purchase whatever they need most, from books to field trips to playgrounds. We’re using ours to fund our school store, which is part of our Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports program.
You might also know that I’m pretty OCD, so I’ve spent many of hours expertly clipping perfectly shaped Box Tops and meticulously stapling them to the submission forms. Sounds monotonous, right? IT IS! I’m fairly certain that I drive the school secretary crazy with the daily, over-dramatized clicking of the stapler.
While checking out the Box Tops Facebook page for updates and sweepstakes, I stumbled across a recipe for Golden Grahams S’mores, which immediately made this pregnant girl overly excited.
I’ve been kind of addicted to both Golden Grahams and S’mores while pregnant and couldn’t believe I hadn’t thought of this combination before. Eric was just about as excited as I was and made a special trip to the grocery store because a.) he’s amazing like that and b.) we were almost out of Golden Grahams.
Golden Grahams S’mores bars come together in minutes and inhalation might better describe our first taste of these bad boys rather than the more common word – eating. I think you guys are going to adore them!
Oh, and if you happen use items with Box Tops and aren’t currently donating them to a school, we would be happy to take them off of your hands – heck, I’ll even clip them into perfectly shaped rectangles for ya!

Thanks so much!!

Your post made me giggle. I was the Box Tops Coordinator for my kids school for about 10 years and I too cut them into perfect little rectangles! My youngest is soon to graduate from high school, but he is still trained to cut every box top he sees: I find them on the kitchen counter all the time and send them to the elementary school they boys attended:)
I was searching for this recipe to make the high school ski team their favorite treat for the next race:)

Well this is timely. I was just saying yesterday that although I don't think I've tasted a golden graham since I was ten years old, I suddenly had a mysterious craving for the sugary little things. Hmm. And now this recipe . . . well, I think a trip to the grocery is in order this morning. Yum! P.S. So excited for your little one on the way!!!
