S’more Rice Krispies Treats
I’ve been making these s’more rice krispies treats for years. They are a gooey delicious hit for the kids, adults and everyone in between. Who doesn’t love a rice krispies treats – especially when they are loaded with chocolate and graham crackers? Yummm.
Ingredients
3 cups rice cereal
4 graham crackers, crushed into bite-sized pieces
1 10-oz bag of mini marshmallows, plus 1 extra cup of marshmallows
4 tablespoons of butter
1/2 cup Hersey chocolate broken into small pieces OR chocolate chips
Using non-stick baking spray, spray a 8×8 baking pan and set aside.
Directions
In a large bowl, combine the rice cereal, chocolate chips and graham cracker pieces.
In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, melt the butter. Add 10 ounces of mini marshmallows and stir with the butter until smooth.
Combine the marshmallow butter mixture with the rice cereal using a spatula to stir everything together.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan and press into an even layer. (To keep things clean, use a spatula that’s been sprayed with a touch of non-stick cooking spray to press the mixture into the pan) Sprinkle the extra 1 cup of marshmallows on top.
Using a kitchen torch, toast the top marshmallow layer until just charred. Chill for 30 minutes before slicing and serving. *If you don’t have a kitchen torch* Turn your oven to broil and place the rice krispies into the oven for a few seconds, keeping your eye on them, until the top marshmallow layer starts to get torched. Carefully remove from the oven and continue to let cool as instructed above.
