Crispy, ooey-gooey S'More Rice Krispie Treats are a fun and festive twist on classic s'mores. No campfire required!
Raise your hand if you remember summer evenings as a kid spent facing a crackling bonfire holding a stick with a flaming marshmallow on the end?
That’s right — team char!
If you were lucky, someone would be standing nearby with a graham cracker half topped with Hershey chocolate squares waiting to scrape the molten ‘mallows from your stick with another graham cracker, handing it over so you could feast. Sticky fingers and face soon followed. Ahhhh, those were the days!
As an adult, the excuse to strike up a bonfire seems harder to come by so making s’mores indoors is often the best way to crush that summertime craving. That’s when S’more Rice Krispie Treats come in handy!
Double-decker Rice Krispie Treats smoosh the classic bonfire combo of sticky marshmallow, sweet chocolate, and crunchy graham cracker in this decadent, over the top treat. These are such a fun take on the standard s’more!
Start by making the classic rice krispie treat layers. Melt 3 Tablespoons butter in a large pot then add 10oz mini marshmallows.
Stir until the marshmallows are smooth then take the pot off the heat and add 6 cups gluten free crispy rice cereal. Stir, stir, stir!
Working quickly press half the rice krispie treats into the bottom of a nonstick sprayed 8×8 pan. I spray the bottom of a cup to help press it into an even layer.
Next spread 1 cup melted semi-sweet chocolate on top.
Melt the chocolate before making the rice krispie treats so it’s ready for this moment — microwaving briefly if needed to re-melt.
Next, layer on gluten free graham crackers.
Then spread 3-1/2oz marshmallow fluff on top.
I also spooned this into a microwave-safe bowl before making the rice krispie treats, then zapped it for 20 seconds right before spreading.
Spoon the remaining rice kristpie treats on top then press again with a nonstick sprayed glass to achieve an even layer.
Topping time! The S’more Rice Krispie Treats are perfectly amazing on their own, though a topping of extra melted chocolate and crumbled graham crackers really takes them over the top.
Mission accomplished!
Let the S’more Rice Krispie Treats set for at least 30 minutes then slice into 16 squares with a very sharp knife. Dish, and devour!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons butter
- 10 oz mini marshmallows
- 6 cups gluten free crispy rice cereal
- 1-1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
- 3-1/2 oz marshmallow fluff
- 6 sheets gluten free graham crackers
- 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil
Directions
- Spray an 8x8 baking dish liberally with non stick spray then set aside. Place 1 cup chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl then microwave in 20 seconds increments, stirring between increments, until melted and smooth. Set aside. Place marshmallow fluff in a microwave-safe bowl then set aside.
- Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add marshmallows then stir until smooth. Add Rice Krispies then stir until well combined. Working quickly, scoop half of the mixture into the prepared baking dish then press into an even layer (I spray the bottom of a glass with nonstick spray to help press.) Pour melted chocolate over rice krispie treats layer then smooth with a spatula. Add 9 of the graham cracker halves on top. Microwave marshmallow fluff for 20 seconds then spread on top of graham crackers.
- Spoon remaining rice krispie treats on top of marshmallow fluff layer then press lightly to smooth. Melt remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips with vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 20 second increments, stirring between increments, until melted and smooth. Drizzle on top of rice krispie treats. Crumble 3 remaining graham crackers halves then sprinkle on top. Allow rice krispie treats to set for 30 minutes before slicing into 16 squares with a sharp knife and serving.

I don’t even like s’mores but those look delish
And here I have been thinking all my life that there were just plain rice crispy treats. I feel jipped with all these combos I see.
Have Mercy (was watching full house last night!)!! These are amazing!
How to make rice krispy treats even better? Add even more marshmallows apparently!
oh my goodness. i have a rule in life, and that is that i don’t ever turn down a s’more. i’m thinking this should apply to s’more treats as well…
Making these for the S’more lover in my house – my husband – thanks so much for the recipe!
That is one serious Rice Krispie treat! I’m picturing Ben shoving the whole thing in his mouth, lol.
They look awesome!
Kristen!! This is Torcher,WHEN
I’M AT WORK, Could You Please make Something really bad for once so I Don’t Have to go Though This EVERY DAY,This Looks so Good, THANKS YOU’RE THE BEST.
Yum! I did my own version of these last week too– http://www.aasquaredblog.com/2013/07/just-for-fun-smores-krispie-treats.html
Oh yeah. I could get in board with these.
These are perfect for summer, love!
Those look delicious, but I was thinking as I was reading them — what if, instead of Rice Krispies, you used Honey Grahams cereal?!?! I’d probably eliminate the graham cracker layer then. Hmm… I think I might have to test this theory out myself!
I was thinking that too, so I did some research, and apparently they get tooth-chipping hard if you use the graham cereal. Maybe a blend of the two would work?!
Psst! I grew up eating Indoor S’mores that use golden grahams, skipping the rice krispie treats altogether. Really yummy, but I’m a krispie treat fan so I have to try these now. = )
I think I’m going to bring these with on family vacation in Okoboji this weekend. I’m sure the whole family will love them!
