How to make Rolled S’mores Rice Krispie Treats
Ingredients:
- 5 cups rice krispies cereal
- 2 cups graham crackers, roughly chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) salted butter
- 10 ounce bag marshmallows
- 7 ounce container marshmallow creme
- 12.75 ounce (3 4.25-ounce) Hershey’s special dark XL chocolate bars
Directions:
- Begin by lining a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and giving it a light spray with cooking spray. This will ensure your treats slide out with ease when it’s time to indulge!
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice krispies cereal, chopped graham crackers, and salt. Feel free to let the kids help with this; it’s all part of the fun!
- Now, let’s get melting! In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and then toss in the marshmallows. Stir patiently as it transforms into a dreamy, gooey mixture — this should take about 5-8 minutes.
- Once the marshmallows are completely melted, remove the saucepan from heat and fold in the rice krispies mixture until everything is blissfully coated.
- Press that delightful mixture evenly into your prepared pan and let it cool for about 3-5 minutes.
- Now comes the magic touch — spread that luscious marshmallow creme over the middle of the treats, creating a sweet haven with every bite.
- Place the chocolate bars on top, and give it a quick broil for 1 minute until the chocolate softens just enough to spread evenly. The smell will be nothing short of heavenly!
- Carefully roll the treats from the chocolate side until it’s completely rolled up, seam side down, creating a delightful little log of joy.
- For the final touch, chill the roll in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or even overnight until set — patience is vital here, but trust me, it’ll be worth it!
- Slice your beautifully set treats into individual rolls, ready to serve at room temperature.
