S’mores Rice Krispy Treats

It’s a s’mores kinda summer. Since we are sticking close to home this summer and spending a fair amount of time in our backyard we are enjoying all things s’mores. So today, I decided to make a batch of s’mores Rice Krispy treats.  I’m not sure who enjoyed them more, me or the kids. But I can tell you they did not last long and I had to make a second batch before the afternoon was over.

To make a batch of S’mores Rice Krispy Treats you will need the following –

4 Tbsp Butter, unsalted
6 C Mini Marshmallows
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
3 C Rice Krispy Cereal
2 C Gold Grahams Cereal
3/4 C Marshmallow Bits
2/3 C Milk Chocolate Chips

This is very similar to making Rice Krispy treats but with a few extra add ins.

First, in a large bowl, combine the Rice Crispy cereal, Golden Graham cereal, marshmallow bits and chocolate chips. Gently mix them together until it’s well combined. Set aside.

Next, melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.

Once the butter is melted, turn the heat down to low and add the marshmallows.

Stir until the marshmallows are melted.

Add the vanilla extract and stir until combined.

Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the cereal mixture. Gently fold the mixture until the marshmallow mixture is fully combined with the cereal mixture.

Take a 9×9 pan that has been greased with butter and pour the mixture into the pan. Gently press the cereal into the pan.

Let the s’mores treats cool for about 20 minutes. Slice into bars and serve!

If you have prepared them ahead of time place them in an airtight container to keep them fresh until you are ready to serve.

I served these at my daughter’s Great Wolf Lodge birthday party. They were a total hit! Along with our other campfire themed treats.
