S'mores Rice Krispies Treats
Description
This recipe starts by melting butter and jumbo marshmallows together to form a smooth, sticky base. Vanilla extract is added for flavoring. Two cereals—Rice Krispies and Golden Grahams—are mixed into the marshmallow mixture along with mini marshmallows to add texture and extra marshmallow sweetness.
Half of the cereal mixture is pressed into a lined pan, then topped with chopped Hershey's chocolate pieces and additional mini marshmallows before adding the remaining cereal mix on top and gently pressing to compact without crushing the treats. The final layer gets more chocolate and marshmallows, creating a visually appealing top and extra flavor. The treats are then cut into squares once set.
These treats combine chewy and crispy textures with classic s'mores ingredients, delivering an indulgent dessert suitable for snacks or parties.
Storage guidelines suggest enjoying them fresh but also provide instructions for refrigeration and freezing to maintain texture and flavor. Variations include using different cereals, chocolates, or even homemade marshmallow alternatives for flexibility.
Ingredients
- 6 Tablespoons butter salted
- 1 (12-ounce) bag marshmallows jumbo
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups Rice Krispies
- 2 cups Golden Grahams cereal
- 2 1/2 cups mini marshmallows divided (about 1/2 of a 10-ounce bag)
- 4 chocolate broken up into pieces, Hershey bars
Instructions
- Line a 9x9 baking dish with a parchment paper sling or butter for easier removal. Set aside.
- Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat.
- Add jumbo marshmallows to melted butter. Continue to stir and gently melt over medium heat until marshmallows are melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Add rice krispies, Golden Grahams, and 1 1/2 cups of miniature marshmallows. Stir until cereal is evenly coated with melted marshmallow mixture.
- Transfer half of the cereal mixture into the prepared pan, then sprinkle with half of the chopped Hershey's bars and half of the remaining 1 cup of miniature marshmallows.
- Add remaining cereal mixture then press gently into the pan to compact slightly. Be careful not to compress the treats too much though or they will be dense and hard. Top with remaining Hershey's bars and marshmallows.
- Cut into small squares to serve.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days; reheat briefly to soften if desired.
- For longer storage, freeze tightly wrapped treats for up to 3 months and thaw at room temperature before serving.
- Fresh cereal is important for optimal crunch; stale cereal affects texture negatively.
- Golden Grahams can be substituted with crushed graham crackers or similar cereals like Teddy Grahams or Honey Squares.
- Any chocolate type can be used, including chips, chunks, or candy bars, allowing customization of flavor.
