We love s’mores desserts around here and these bars are a fun s’more twist on classic rice krispie treats. They make a great sweet treat for summer picnics or camping trips!  It takes just a little bit of time to mix together and is an easy dessert to make ahead for a party or large group of people.  

I love the chewy texture of the rice krispies and graham crackers in combination with the soft gooey marshmallows and melted chocolate in this recipe.  It really does taste like all the best parts of a s’more!

This recipe calls for two bags of mini marshmallows in order to keep the treats soft and gooey and balance out the graham cracker pieces well.  It turns out lovely and is a perfect treat for any time of year to satisfy that s’more craving!

How to Make S’mores Rice Krispie Treats

Grease a 9×13 pan or line with parchment paper or aluminum foil.  

In a large pot melt butter over medium-low heat.  Add 6 cups of mini marshmallows and stir continuously until they are all the way melted. Stirring will prevent the melted marshmallows from burning to the bottom of the pan.     

Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.

Fold the cereal into the marshmallow mixture until it is all the way incorporated. Next, add 1.5 cups broken up graham crackers, 3/4 cup chocolate chips and 1.5 cups mini marshmallows.

Pour the cereal mixture into the prepared pan and lightly press down with a rubber spatula.  Don’t press too firmly or the rice krispie treats will become dense.  

Top with the remaining marshmallows, Hershey chocolate squares, and the left over graham cracker pieces and mini chocolate chips.  

Let set for 1 hr.  Use a sharp knife to cut into squares and enjoy!
