Introduction

This S’Mores Rice Krispies recipe takes a beloved campfire treat and turns it into a fun, gooey dessert you can enjoy anytime. Layers of graham crackers, melted chocolate, marshmallows, and crispy cereal combine for a delightful twist on classic s’mores.

The image shows a group of square rice cereal treats stacked neatly on a white marbled surface. Each treat has a main layer packed with light golden puffed rice mixed with melted marshmallow, making it sticky and shiny. On top of each square, there are scattered small white marshmallows, broken pieces of light brown graham cracker, and chunks of dark brown Hershey's chocolate. On the upper left side, there is a toasted s'more with a brown melted chocolate layer and a golden toasted marshmallow inside two graham crackers. Around the treats, some small marshmallows and graham cracker pieces are scattered. A metal knife with a wooden handle is shown on the bottom right, and two small white bowls filled with chocolate pieces and graham cracker bits are placed near the treats. The whole scene is bright and clean with soft natural light. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

9 graham cracker squares
6 milk chocolate bars (Hershey)
¼ cup unsalted butter
10 oz mini marshmallows, divided
1 (7 oz) container marshmallow fluff
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your broiler and line an 8 x 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Arrange the graham cracker squares evenly across the bottom of the pan. Place two milk chocolate bars over the graham crackers and broil for about 2 minutes, or until the chocolate melts. Use a spatula to smooth the melted chocolate evenly over the crackers.
Step 2: In a large stockpot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in 4 cups of mini marshmallows and the marshmallow fluff until fully melted and smooth. Remove the pot from heat, then stir in the Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated.
Step 3: Chop 2½ of the chocolate bars into small pieces and fold them gently into the marshmallow-cereal mixture. Using a rubber spatula, carefully spread this mixture over the chocolate-covered graham crackers in the pan.
Step 4: Sprinkle the remaining mini marshmallows over the top. Broil for 2 to 3 minutes, watching closely, until the marshmallows puff up and turn golden brown. Remove the pan from the oven.
Step 5: Chop the last 1½ chocolate bars and sprinkle them over the toasted marshmallows. Allow the dessert to cool completely before cutting into squares and serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra gooeyness, use full-size marshmallows instead of minis on top before broiling.
You can substitute the milk chocolate bars with dark or white chocolate for a different flavor profile.
Press the cereal mixture firmly when spreading to help the bars hold together better.
Add a pinch of sea salt on top before cooling to enhance the chocolate flavor.

Storage

Store the S’Mores Rice Krispies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They can also be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and frozen for up to 2 weeks. To enjoy after freezing, let them thaw at room temperature—no reheating is necessary as they are best served at room temperature.

FAQs

Can I use regular marshmallows instead of marshmallow fluff?

While marshmallow fluff helps achieve a smooth, gooey texture, you can substitute it with an equal amount of regular marshmallows melted down. Just add them along with the mini marshmallows in the pot and stir until fully melted.

Do I have to use the broiler for melting and toasting?

The broiler is recommended because it quickly melts the chocolate and toasts the marshmallows, giving the recipe its signature look and taste. Alternatively, you could melt chocolate in a microwave and toast marshmallows using a kitchen torch, but the broiler is the simplest method.
