S’MORES RICE KRISPIE TREAT PINWHEELS 🍫🔥
Where three nostalgic desserts unite in one glorious swirl of marshmallow, graham cracker, and melty chocolate bliss.

🧁 INTRODUCTION:

Imagine the campfire magic of s’mores, the chewy delight of Rice Krispie treats, and the playful presentation of pinwheel cookies—all rolled into one epic dessert. These pinwheels are a no-bake dream, perfect for parties, bake sales, or just because you need a hug in dessert form. They’re sweet, gooey, toasty, and crunchy all at once, with a stunning spiral that makes everyone say “Whoa, what are those?!”

📝 INGREDIENTS:

For the Base:

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 bag (10 oz / about 40) mini marshmallows
  • 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Filling:

  • 1½ cups marshmallow fluff or additional mini marshmallows (melted)
  • ¾ cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips, melted
  • ¾ cup graham cracker crumbs
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon honey (for authentic s’mores flavor)

🛠 INSTRUCTIONS / METHOD:

🌀 Step 1: Make the Rice Krispie Treat “Dough”

  1. Line a baking sheet (about 10×15 inch) with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  2. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
  3. Stir in the mini marshmallows and mix until completely melted.
  4. Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla, then fold in the Rice Krispies until coated.
  5. Spread the mixture evenly on the baking sheet and press flat into a thin rectangle (~¼ inch thick). Let it cool slightly (but not fully harden).

🍫 Step 2: Add the S’mores Filling

  1. Spread a layer of melted chocolate evenly over the surface.
  2. Next, spread the marshmallow fluff (or melted marshmallows).
  3. Sprinkle evenly with graham cracker crumbs. Drizzle a little honey, if desired.

🔁 Step 3: Roll It Up

  1. Starting from one long edge, gently roll the sheet into a log, using the parchment paper to help guide it.
  2. Press gently to seal the seam. Wrap the log in parchment or plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30–60 minutes to set.

🔪 Step 4: Slice and Serve

  1. Once firm, unwrap and use a sharp knife to slice into pinwheels about 1 inch thick.
  2. Serve at room temperature for maximum gooey goodness!

📖 HISTORY & FORMATION:

This treat is the lovechild of three legendary American sweets:

  • S’mores: A classic summer dessert from the early 20th century, popularized by Girl Scouts in 1927.
  • Rice Krispie Treats: Invented by Kellogg’s home economists in 1939—quick, fun, and forever timeless.
  • Pinwheel cookies: Known for their eye-catching swirl, these rolled confections date back to vintage baking eras and remain a nostalgic favorite.

This fusion takes the nostalgia of campfire nights, the snap-crackle-pop of childhood, and the playful swirl of cookie trays, then swirls them together into one unforgettable, no-bake masterpiece.

❤️ FOR THE LOVERS:

  • Chocolate lovers will adore the melty center.
  • Marshmallow lovers will swoon over the gooey swirl.
  • Texture lovers will devour the crisp-to-creamy contrast.
  • Baking haters will rejoice—no oven required!

✅ CONCLUSION:

Whether you’re reminiscing about summer camp, surprising your kids, or just craving something wild and whimsical, these S’mores Rice Krispie Pinwheels are pure dessert joy. Easy to make, hard to forget, and absolutely share-worthy (if you can resist eating them all first).
