S'mores Rice Krispie Treats (Printer-Friendly Version)

Crunchy graham crackers, toasted marshmallows, melted chocolate, and crispy rice come together in this sweet treat.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 4 ¾ cups Rice Krispies cereal
02 - 1 ½ cups lightly crushed graham crackers
03 - 1 cup mini marshmallows
04 - 2 cups large marshmallows
05 - 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
06 - 1 chocolate bar, broken into pieces

→ Wet Ingredients

07 - 115 grams (1/2 cup) unsalted butter

# Steps to Follow:

01 - In a large bowl, mix Rice Krispies cereal with grated graham crackers and half of the mini marshmallows.
02 - Preheat the oven broiler. Spread half of the mini marshmallows on a greased, foil-lined baking sheet and broil 1 to 2 minutes until lightly toasted, watching closely to prevent burning. Remove and turn off the broiler, leaving the oven door closed to retain warmth.
03 - Microwave the butter in a large bowl for 30 seconds until melted. Add large marshmallows and stir until fully melted and combined.
04 - Add the toasted mini marshmallows and butter-marshmallow mixture to the cereal blend. Stir thoroughly to evenly coat.
05 - Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Press lightly with a spatula to level the surface while preserving the chewy texture.
06 - Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the cereal layer. Place in a warm oven until the chocolate begins to melt, then spread it out in an even layer.
07 - Turn the broiler back on. Sprinkle the remaining mini marshmallows on top of the melted chocolate and broil for one minute or until lightly toasted, monitoring closely.
08 - Remove from oven and arrange chocolate bar pieces over the top. Scatter the remaining graham cracker crumbs evenly before allowing to cool.
09 - Let the bars cool completely before slicing into squares. Lightly spray a knife with nonstick spray for easier cutting.

# Additional Tips:

01 - Monitor marshmallows closely when broiling; they can burn quickly.
02 - Press gently when forming the base to maintain a soft, chewy texture.
03 - Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or freeze for up to three months.
