S'mores Chocolate Marshmallow Rice Krispies Treats
Description
The S'mores Chocolate Marshmallow Rice Krispies Treats start with melted butter and marshmallows combined with a mix of Golden Grahams and Rice Krispies cereals. Reserving some marshmallows to add later keeps parts of the treat slightly chewy amid the crispy texture. Pressing the mixture into a pan creates a sturdy base that holds embedded pieces of milk chocolate bars, which partially melt for richness. A light sprinkle of sea salt adds a touch of contrast to the sweet flavors. After cooling for about an hour, an additional layer of chocolate bars is pressed onto the top, giving these treats a thick, layered texture and classic s'mores taste. This recipe delivers a handheld dessert that blends crunchy, creamy, and melty elements.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter salted
- 20 ounces marshmallows (Two 10-ounce bags, about 10 cups)
- 4 cups Golden Grahams cereal
- 3 1/2 to 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 6 ounces milk chocolate bars Hershey
- salt sea salt
Instructions
- Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add butter and let melt.
- Reserve and set aside 2 cups of marshmallows. Add remaining marshmallows to the pot and let melt, stirring often.
- Once the marshmallows are melted, remove from the heat. Add Golden Grahams Cereal and Rice Krispies Cereal. Once it is completely coated, add reserved 2 cups of marshmallows. Stir just until combined.
- Line a 9 x 13 pan with parchment paper or foil and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray. Pour the s'mores treats into pan. Gently press down but don't press too hard or it will compress the treats. If you want thicker treats, don't press to the edges but use a spatula to lightly press the treats to the center.
- Lightly press half of the Hershey Bars into the treats. The chocolate may start to melt so reserve half for later, once the bars have cooled. If you want to a little salty and sweet, sprinkle with a touch of sea salt.
- Let cool for 1 hour. Press the remaining half of the Hershey Bars into the treats.
- Cut into 16 or 24 squares. Keep covered or in a sealed bag.
