S’mores have been a beloved American dessert for generations. Traditionally made by roasting marshmallows over a fire and sandwiching them between graham crackers and chocolate, s’mores became famous during camping trips and family gatherings.

🍫 Ingredients
For the Rice Krispie Base
- 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 2 cups crushed graham crackers
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup salted butter
- 10 oz marshmallows
- 7 oz marshmallow creme
For the Chocolate Layer
- 12.75 oz chocolate bars, chopped or broken into pieces
🍫 Equipment Needed
- Large mixing bowl
- Saucepan or large pot
- Spatula
- Rolling pin
- Parchment paper
- Baking sheet or flat tray
- Sharp knife
🍫 Preparation Method
Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace
Lay parchment paper onto your counter or baking tray. Lightly grease it with butter or nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin.
Break the chocolate bars into smaller pieces so they melt evenly.
Step 2: Melt the Butter and Marshmallows
In a large saucepan over low heat:
- Melt the salted butter completely.
- Add the marshmallows.
- Stir continuously until smooth and creamy.
Once melted:
- Add the marshmallow creme.
- Stir until fully combined.
The mixture should become silky, stretchy, and glossy.
Step 3: Add Dry Ingredients
Remove the pot from heat.
Gently fold in:
- Rice Krispies cereal
- Graham cracker crumbs
- Salt
Mix carefully so the cereal stays crispy and doesn’t crush too much.
Step 4: Roll the Mixture
Place the warm mixture onto parchment paper.
Using buttered hands or a greased spatula:
- Press the mixture into a large rectangle.
Roll gently with a rolling pin until evenly flattened.
Step 5: Add Chocolate
Melt the chocolate bars using:
- Microwave in 20-second intervals OR
- Double boiler method
Spread the melted chocolate evenly across the flattened cereal layer.
Step 6: Roll Into a Log
Starting from one side:
- Carefully roll the treat tightly into a log shape.
Use the parchment paper to help guide the rolling process.
Let it cool for about:
- 30–45 minutes
This helps the chocolate set and the treats hold their shape.
Step 7: Slice and Serve
Using a sharp knife:
- Slice into beautiful swirled rounds.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for firmer texture.
