Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 10 ounces (280 grams) mini marshmallows
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Binding/Flavor Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) unsalted butter
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
Seasoning:
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large pot over low heat until completely liquefied, stirring occasionally to prevent browning.
- Add mini marshmallows to the melted butter, continuously stirring until they transform into a smooth, glossy mixture.
- Remove pot from heat and swiftly incorporate Rice Krispies cereal, ensuring each piece gets thoroughly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Gently fold chocolate chips and crumbled graham crackers into the cereal blend, distributing ingredients evenly throughout.
- Transfer the sticky mixture to a greased 9×9-inch pan, using a spatula or buttered hands to press and compact the treats into a uniform layer.
- Allow treats to rest at room temperature for approximately 45-60 minutes, permitting them to solidify and set completely.
- Once cooled and firm, slice into square portions using a sharp knife, creating clean, even cuts for serving.
Notes
- Gentle Butter Melting: Use low heat to prevent burning and ensure smooth, even melting of butter for the perfect base.
- Marshmallow Mixing: Stir marshmallows constantly to prevent sticking and achieve a smooth, glossy texture that coats the cereal evenly.
- Cracker Crush Technique: Crush graham crackers to a fine, even consistency for better distribution and a more integrated s’mores flavor.
- Chocolate Tip: Let chocolate chips slightly melt into the warm mixture for a more intense chocolate swirl throughout the treats.
- Cooling Hack: Refrigerate for faster setting and a firmer texture if you’re short on time or impatient to dig in.
- Dietary Swap: Use gluten-free graham crackers and cereal for a celiac-friendly version that doesn’t compromise on taste.
