Helpful Ingredient Tips

Below is a list of the ingredients used in this recipe, along with a few helpful tips and notes that may answer questions and help you get the best results.

• Rice Krispie Cereal
• Vanilla – I prefer to use pure vanilla rather than vanilla extract. It has a richer flavor rather than the flavor you get with vanilla extract.
• Salted Butter
• Marshmallows – You’ll want to use mini marshmallows for this recipe. Since it’s a s’mores version, I also fold in extra mini marshmallows at the end for that classic gooey texture.
• Sweetened Condensed Milk – Sweetened condensed milk is my secret to ultra-soft Rice Krispie treats—it adds extra moisture and richness, keeping them gooey and tender instead of firm or dry.
• Graham Crackers – This recipe wouldn’t be a true s’mores version without graham crackers. I prefer breaking them into small chunks instead of crushing them—it gives the Rice Krispies a better texture with a little extra bite.
• Milk Chocolate Chips – For the chocolate, I like to use milk chocolate chips for that classic s’mores flavor. They melt just enough to get gooey without completely disappearing allowing you to taste the chocolate in each bite.

Tools You’ll Need

• Large Stock Pot
• Spatula
• Measuring Cups & Spoons
• Parchment Paper
• 9×13″ Baking Dish

S’mores Rice Krispie Treats Recipe

1. Break the graham crackers into small chunks and set aside.
2. In a large stockpot, melt the butter over medium-low heat.

7. Gently fold in 2 cups of mini marshmallows and 1 1/4 cups chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
8. Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
9. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and gently press it into an even layer (avoid pressing too firmly to keep the treats soft).

11. Let sit for about 1 hour to set, then cut into squares and serve.
12. Enjoy!

*Tips and tricks*

Get the parchment paper slightly wet, then ring it out completely. Unfold it and place it in the baking dish. This makes it easier to work with and molds to whatever dish you are working with.
