Ingredients for S’mores Graham Krispie Treats
- Rice Krispies Cereal (Crispy Rice Cereal) – the base of our no-bake treat.
- Golden Grahams Cereal – adds that graham cracker taste without the need for a campfire.
- Mini Marshmallows – for the gooey marshmallow goodness we all love.
- Unsalted Butter – helps to bind our sweet treats together.
- Vanilla Extract – just a dash to enhance all the flavors.
- Hershey Bars – for that authentic s’mores chocolate touch. Feel free to substitute with dark chocolate or milk chocolate chips for a delightful twist.
How to Make S’mores Rice Krispie Treats
[Step 1] Unwrap the Hershey Bars and break into squares. Set Aside. Remove two cups of marshmallows from the package and set aside. Spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
[Step 2] Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the package of marshmallows to the butter and continue to stir over medium-low heat until smooth. Remove from heat and stir the vanilla into the melted marshmallows.
[Step 3] Add the Rice Krispies and Golden Grahams to the marshmallow mix and stir to coat. Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups of the reserved marshmallows.
[Step 4] Pour half of the marshmallow mixture to the prepared pan and spread to the edges in an even layer. Place 2/3 of the chocolate pieces evenly over the cereal. Top with the rest of the cereal mixture and gently press to form the treats.
[Step 5] Place the remaining 1/3 of the Hershey chocolate squares over the top of the treats as well as the remaining marshmallows. Lightly place a piece of wax paper over the treats and press the marshmallows into the warm treats.
[Step 6] Allow the treats to cool, then cut into bars and serve.

Storage Instructions
Once you’ve had your fill of these S’mores Rice Krispie Treats – if that’s even possible – storing them properly is key to keeping that gooey marshmallow goodness and crisp cereal texture intact. The best part? It’s straightforward.
Slide those sweet treats into an airtight container and stash them at room temperature for optimal freshness. A clever little hack I adore is to use parchment paper or plastic wrap to line the container or separate layers; it’s a great recipe for success. This simple trick prevents the treats from becoming a sticky mass, ensuring each bite is as perfect as the first.
Tips & Tricks for S’mores Rice Krispie Treats
- Opt for a large pot: This makes mixing the cereal mixture effortless and keeps it from becoming overly sticky.
- Grease with butter: A slight coat on your rubber spatula and hands makes managing the gooey marshmallows much simpler.
- Experiment with ingredients: Try milk chocolate chunks or dark chocolate instead of Hershey bars for a touch of variety, and consider adding teddy grahams for an extra bit of fun.
