how to make s'mores Rice Crispy Treats

To make these treats, I started with our best-ever, no-fail basic cereal treats recipe , and mixed in chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and grahams for an awesome dessert mash-up.

you will need:

RICE KRISPIES

Rice Krispies cereal or any store-brand version are kind of important for s'mores Rice Krispies. 

 

MARSHMALLOWS

You'll need 10 ounces of marshmallows. While different brands weight slightly differently, this is about 40 regular-size OR 6 cups of mini marshmallows. 

Use a scale or the measurement on the bag as a guide. 

 

BUTTER

We have found that salted European-style butter works best in our cereal treats. 

 

CHOCOLATE CHIPS 

Choose semi-sweet chocolate chips for a nice balance of sweetness. 

 

GRAHAMS

I used Golden Grahams cereal instead of graham crackers, because I love the texture and taste, and because they are a bit sturdier, but you may also substitute broken graham crackers if you prefer.

 

TOOLS YOU'LL NEED: 

  • 9-inch baking pan 
  • cooking spray

 

supplies and ingredients to make Rice Krispie Treats

Here are the specific supplies and ingredients I used to make my s'mores treats.

step one: set up the cereal 

Spray a large bowl with cooking spray or rub with softened butter or shortening (like Crisco).

Add 4 ⅔ cups Rice Krispies cereal.  Grease a 9-inch baking pan and set aside.

 

step two: melt the butter and marshmallows 

In a large, microwave-safe bowl, place 4 tablespoons of salted butter and 10 ounces of marshmallows. Microwave on high for 1 minute and stir very, very well, using the residual heat to fully melt the marshmallows.

Keep your eye on the microwave, as the marshmallows will puff up.

If needed, you may microwave for additional 15-second intervals, but the lest oven time the better.

For stove-top instructions, visit our FAQ page.

step three: mix everything together 

Scrape the marshmallow mixture over the Rice Krispies in the bowl. Stir gently until all of the cereal is coated evenly.

Let the mixture cool about 30 seconds.

Stir in ½ cup of mini marshmallows, ⅔ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, and ½ cup of broken Golden Grahams cereal.

Use a spatula to evenly press the cereal treats into the pan. If desired, sprinkle additional Golden Grahams, mini  marshmallows, and chocolate chips on top and press into the treats with your palms.

step four: chill and eat!

    These S'more Rice Krispie Treats are so stinkin' good! I used graham crackers because I couldn't find the graham cereal, and they tasted amazing. Thanks for the recipe.

      Hi Dee, Thank you! It sounds like perhaps the mixture was a bit too hot and the 30 second cool time needed to be a little longer. Sometimes I even freeze the chocolate chips I'm going to mix in to help slow the melting.
