Why You’ll Love These S’mores Rice Krispies Treats

Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what makes these treats so special—simple pantry staples with big comfort-food energy.

• 6 tablespoons salted butter
• 1 (12-ounce) bag jumbo marshmallows
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
• 2 cups Golden Grahams cereal
• 2 ½ cups mini marshmallows, divided
• 4 Hershey bars, broken into pieces

Nothing fancy. Nothing stressful. Just good ingredients doing what they do best.

How to Make S’mores Rice Krispies Treats (Step-by-Step)

Don’t worry—this is one of those recipes where you can relax, sip your coffee, and enjoy the process.

Step 1: Prep the Pan

Line a 9×9-inch baking dish with a parchment paper sling or butter it well. This makes removing the treats later so much easier. Set it aside.

Step 2: Melt the Butter and Marshmallows

In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the jumbo marshmallows. Stir gently and patiently until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth. No rushing—this is where the magic starts.

Step 3: Add Vanilla and Cereal

Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Then add the Rice Krispies, Golden Grahams, and 1 ½ cups of mini marshmallows. Stir until every piece of cereal is coated in that gooey marshmallow goodness.

Step 4: Layer the Good Stuff

Press half of the cereal mixture into your prepared pan. Sprinkle with half of the Hershey bar pieces and half of the remaining mini marshmallows.

Add the rest of the cereal mixture on top and gently press it down. Keyword: gently. If you press too hard, you’ll end up with brick-like treats—and nobody wants that.

Step 5: Finish and Set

Top with the remaining chocolate and marshmallows. Let the pan cool slightly, then cut into small squares and serve.

Try not to steal too many “test bites.” Or do. Again—no judgment.

My Best Tips for Perfect Treats Every Time

• Low and slow heat keeps the marshmallows silky instead of stiff.
• Don’t over-pack the pan. Light pressure keeps everything soft.
• If your marshmallows look extra gooey, congratulations—you did it right.
• Want extra drama? Add a few chocolate pieces right before cutting so they stay melty.

If your treats look a little messy, that’s not a flaw—that’s character.
