Ingredients You’ll Need

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
10 ounces mini marshmallows (use fresh for the best gooeyness)
6 cups crispy rice cereal
½ cup crushed graham crackers (homemade or store-bought work well)
1 cup mini marshmallows (for the filling, feel free to add more if you're a marshmallow lover)
½ cup chocolate spread or melted chocolate (Nutella is a great choice!)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter (this helps the chocolate drizzle stay glossy)
Nonstick spray or parchment paper (for easy cleanup)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Melt the Butter

In a large pot, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over low heat. Keep an eye on it so it doesn’t brown—just a gentle melt is what we want.

Add the Marshmallows

Once the butter is melted, add in the 10 ounces of mini marshmallows.
Stir continuously until the marshmallows are fully melted and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 3-4 minutes.

Combine with Cereal

Remove the pot from heat and add in the 6 cups of crispy rice cereal and ½ cup of crushed graham crackers.
Mix everything together until the cereal and graham crackers are completely coated in that gooey marshmallow mixture. Don’t worry if it seems a little sticky—this is normal!

Prepare the Baking Sheet

Lightly grease a baking sheet with nonstick spray or line it with parchment paper for easier removal later.
Transfer the cereal mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly, pressing it down gently with your hands or a spatula.

Spread the Chocolate

Let the mixture cool for just a few minutes, then spread ½ cup of chocolate spread or melted chocolate evenly over the top.
Sprinkle 1 cup of mini marshmallows on top of the chocolate spread for that extra ooey-gooey goodness!

Roll and Chill

Starting from one end, carefully roll the mixture tightly into a log shape. It might be a little messy, but that’s part of the fun!
Once rolled, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until firm.

Drizzle with Chocolate

After the roll has chilled and set, unwrap it and slice it into pieces.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil or butter.
Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Drizzle this melted chocolate over the sliced treats for that perfect finishing touch!

Variations

For a fruity twist, add dried cherries or strawberries to the filling.
Swap the chocolate spread for peanut butter for a nutty flavor.
Use gluten-free crispy rice cereal and graham crackers for a gluten-free version.
Try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the chocolate drizzle for a sweet and salty combo.
Incorporate a splash of vanilla extract for a richer flavor.

Serving and Storage Tips

Serving

These S’mores Rolled Rice Krispie Treats are best served at room temperature. You can offer them as a fun dessert at parties or cut them into smaller pieces for a sweet snack. They pair wonderfully with a glass of milk or a cup of hot cocoa for that classic s'mores vibe!

Helpful Notes

For a richer flavor, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the melted marshmallow mixture.
If you're looking for a lower sugar option, use dark chocolate and reduce the amount of chocolate spread.
Feel free to add nuts like chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
These treats can be made dairy-free by using vegan butter and dairy-free chocolate.
Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and avoid them getting too hard.
