Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal (gluten-free)
- 4 cups natural marshmallows
- 3 tablespoons plant-based butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
S’mores Flavor Add-ins
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips (plant-based)
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
Instructions
- Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan, melt the plant-based butter over low heat. Once melted, add the natural marshmallows and stir gently until completely melted and smooth to create the sticky base.
- Mix in Vanilla Extract: Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the natural vanilla extract to add subtle sweetness and depth of flavor.
- Combine with Rice Krispies and Graham Crackers: Immediately add the Rice Krispies cereal and crushed graham crackers to the melted marshmallow mixture. Stir well to coat every crisp.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the plant-based milk chocolate chips so they begin to soften but do not fully melt, providing pockets of chocolate throughout.
- Press and Chill: Transfer the mixture to a lined pan and press firmly with a spatula for an even, compact layer. Allow to cool completely at room temperature or refrigerate to set more quickly before cutting into squares.
Notes
- Use fresh Rice Krispies cereal for the best crunch.
- Work quickly after melting marshmallows to prevent mixture from hardening before pressing.
- Press firmly with wax paper or spatula to help treats hold their shape well.
- Cool the treats fully before cutting to avoid crumbling.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness and chewiness.
