S’mores Rice Krispie Treats

S’mores Rice Krispie treats are a delightful twist on the classic Rice Krispie treats. They combine the flavors of traditional s’mores with the beloved marshmallow and cereal bars. These treats typically feature marshmallows, graham cracker crumbs (in this recipe we use Golden Grahams) and chocolate mixed with Rice Krispie cereal, resulting in a gooey, chewy, and utterly delicious dessert. The combination of the familiar s’mores flavors with the crispy texture of Rice Krispies makes these treats a hit with both kids and adults. Perfect for parties, potlucks, or simply as a sweet snack, S’mores Rice Krispie treats are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth.

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE S’MORES RICE KRISPIE TREATS

• Butter: I recommend using unsalted butter but you can use salted butter in this recipe. If you do use salted butter just omit the added salt.
• Mini Marshmallows: I recommend using FRESH mini marshmallows and not large marshmallows. Mini marshmallows melt quickly and evenly compared to larger marshmallows.
• Pure Vanilla Extract: Gives flavor! I get my favorite pure vanilla extract from Costco.
• Salt: Adds flavor. I like using sea salt or pink Himalayan salt.
• Rice Krispie Cereal: You can also use the generic brand.
• Golden Grahams Cereal: You could replace with graham crackers.
• Chocolate Chips: My favorite brand to use is Guittard milk chocolate chips.
• Hershey’s Bars (optional): To place on top.
• Non-Stick Cooking Spray

WHAT SUPPLIES YOU NEED

• Large Sauce Pan
• Silicone Spatula: You can find one on Amazon.
• Measuring Cups & Spoons
• Parchment Paper: I love using pre-cut parchment sheets that I get on Amazon.
• 9×13 Inch Pan: Metal, glass or disposable pan is fine. Either will do. I love using Fat Daddio pans.

HOW TO MAKE S’MORES RICE KRISPIE TREATS

Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper and spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.

In a large sauce pan, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam, 3 to 4 minutes. Swirl the butter around in the pan until it begins to brown lightly, smell nutty, and form tiny brown flecks, 3 to 4 minutes. It takes about 8 minutes or so for the butter to brown.

Once the butter has browned add the mini marshmallows to the pan, stir occasionally. Reserve about 2 cups of the mini marshmallows to stir in later.

When the marshmallows are just melted remove from the heat and add the vanilla, salt, and Rice Krispie cereal until just coated in the marshmallow mixture.

Add the Rice Krispie cereal and Golden Grahams cereal. Stir to combine.

Next add the remaining 2 cups of mini marshmallows. Stir to combine.

Lastly and the chocolate chips. Stir to combine.

Place the mixture into the prepared pan and GENTLY press into an even layer with your silicon spatula or greased hands. Be careful not to press to hard or you will get rock hard Rice Krispie treats and you don’t want that!

You can then decorate the top of the Rice Krispie Treats with chopped Hershey Bars, sprinkles and/or edible glitter.

Allow to cool completely for about 30 minutes before cutting into 12 even squares.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
