Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 treats
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 3 tablespoons of butter, 4 cups of mini marshmallows, 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal, 1 cup of chocolate chips, and 1 cup of graham cracker crumbs. Make sure you have a large mixing bowl and a greased 9x13 inch baking dish ready.
- In a large saucepan, melt the 3 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Stir occasionally to ensure the butter does not burn.
- Once the butter is completely melted, add the 4 cups of mini marshmallows to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the marshmallows are fully melted and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat. Quickly add the 1 cup of graham cracker crumbs and 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal to the melted marshmallow mixture. Stir well until all the cereal and crumbs are fully coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Next, fold in the 1 cup of chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Using a spatula or your hands (lightly greased to prevent sticking), press the mixture firmly into the prepared 9x13 inch baking dish. Make sure to spread it out evenly and compact it well.
- Let the mixture cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes. If you want to speed up the cooling process, you can place the baking dish in the refrigerator for a few minutes.
- Once cooled, cut the treats into squares or rectangles of your desired size. Serve and enjoy your delicious S'mores Rice Krispy Treats!
Tips
- Use fresh marshmallows for the best melting consistency and flavor.
- Grease your spatula or hands with cooking spray to prevent sticking when pressing the mixture into the pan.
- For extra chocolatey goodness, try using a mix of milk and dark chocolate chips.
- Allow the treats to cool completely before cutting to get clean, neat squares.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain maximum freshness.
- For a fun variation, drizzle melted chocolate or sprinkle additional graham cracker crumbs on top before serving.
- Make sure to use low heat when melting marshmallows to prevent burning and ensure a smooth mixture.
