S’mores Rice Krispies Treats 🍫🔥
A fun twist on the classic Rice Krispies Treats, these are packed with gooey marshmallows, crunchy cereal, and melty chocolate for a perfect s’mores-inspired snack!
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 (12-ounce) bag jumbo marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 2 cups Golden Grahams cereal
- 2 ½ cups mini marshmallows, divided (about half of a 10-ounce bag)
- 4 Hershey’s bars, broken into pieces
Instructions
1. Prepare the pan:
- Line a 9×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal. Alternatively, grease the pan with butter. Set aside.
2. Melt the marshmallows:
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the jumbo marshmallows and stir constantly until completely melted and smooth.
3. Add vanilla and cereals:
- Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Quickly mix in the Rice Krispies, Golden Grahams, and 1 ½ cups of mini marshmallows until evenly coated in the melted marshmallow mixture.
4. Layer the mixture:
- Transfer half of the cereal mixture into the prepared pan. Use a spatula or lightly greased hands to spread it out evenly.
- Sprinkle with half of the Hershey’s bar pieces and half of the remaining mini marshmallows.
- Add the rest of the cereal mixture on top, pressing gently to compact slightly. Avoid pressing too firmly, as this can make the treats dense and hard.
5. Add toppings:
- Sprinkle the remaining Hershey’s bar pieces and mini marshmallows over the top.
6. Let set and cut:
- Let the treats cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to set.
- Use the parchment paper sling to lift the treats out of the pan. Cut into squares and serve.
Tips & Variations
- Chocolaty drizzle: Drizzle melted chocolate over the top for an extra decadent touch.
- Campfire vibe: Use a kitchen torch to lightly toast the marshmallows on top for that classic s’mores flavor.
- Make it extra gooey: Add more mini marshmallows to the mix or on top if you love extra marshmallow pockets in every bite.
- Storage: Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Avoid refrigerating, as it can make them hard.
