Ingredients
- 3 cups Rice Krispies
- 1 bag (10 oz) mini marshmallows
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- Extra marshmallows and chocolate for filling
Method
Step 1: Melt the Butter
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. When it’s all melty and warm, add the mini marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth.
Step 2: Combine the Cereal
Remove the saucepan from heat, and add in the Rice Krispies. Stir well until every piece is nicely coated in the gooey marshmallow mixture.
Step 3: Cool the Mixture Slightly
Allow the mixture to cool for just a moment—about 5 minutes—so it’s easier to handle, but don’t let it cool too much or it won’t hold together.
Step 4: Spread and Press
Spread the mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper and press it into a rectangle about half an inch thick, evenly distributing the mixture.
Step 5: Add the S’mores Elements
Sprinkle a generous layer of crushed graham crackers over the mixture, followed by marshmallows and chocolate chips. This will give every slice the classic s’mores experience.
Step 6: Roll It Up
Carefully use the parchment paper to help you roll the mixture into a log shape—think of it like rolling sushi! Tuck in the edges to keep everything cozy inside.
Step 7: Cool and Slice
Let the roll cool completely—about 30 minutes—and then slice into pieces to reveal the chewy, choco-marshmallow goodness!
Serving Suggestions & Pairings
These S’mores Rolled Rice Krispie Treats are divine on their own, but you can elevate the experience by serving them with a side of hot chocolate or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. A sprinkle of extra crushed graham crackers on top adds a lovely touch as well!
