S’mores Krispie Treats
Fashioned after my Best Rice Krispie Treats Recipe, these S’mores Krispie Treats have un-melted chunks in them. I love to bite into a chewy marshmallow, or chunk of chocolate. It gives these dessert bars a variety of tastes and textures.

The trick is to put some of the mini marshmallows in with the cereal, instead of melting them all. I added chocolate chips into the bowl of cereal as well. You will want to let the melted marshmallows cool for a few minutes before adding them to the cereal, but the chocolate will still melt some.
Hershey bars are pressed into the top of these s’mores krispie treats while they are still slightly warm, so they will stick and melt just slightly. You can save a few marshmallows for this too.

- 6 Tbsp (85 g) salted butter

- 6 cups (720 g) Golden Grahams Cereal
- 1 cup (170 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips/chunks
- 1.55 oz (43 g) Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bar(s), (4 snack sized or 1 regular size bar)

- Coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Place cereal in a large bowl. Add the chocolate chips. Remove 3 cups of mini marshmallows from the bag. Toss 2 1/2 cups of the marshmallows with the cereal and chocolate chips. Set aside the other 1/2 cup to press into the top of the bars later on.
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the remaining marshmallows. Stir constantly until just barely melted. Remove from heat. Let rest 2 minutes to cool slightly.
- Pour the melted marshmallows over the cereal mixture. Stir until evenly coated. Pour into the prepared pan and flatten with a greased spatula or rolling pin.
- Separate Hershey’s squares and then cut them in half. Press the chocolate squares and reserved 1/2 cup of mini marshmallows into the top of the krispie treats. TIP: Place a layer of wax paper on top (to minimize the sticky mess) and then press or roll with rolling pin.
- Cool completely, then cut into squares and serve. Cover and store any leftovers at room temperature up to 5 days.

Nice clear instructions. I just made this and will be sharing with my family this evening. They will love it.
Yay! Hope you all enjoy!
Can you make them ahead of time and freeze them? I would like to make these for Christmas baskets
I haven’t tried it myself, but I don’t see it being a problem. Here’s a great article on how to freeze cereal treats: https://howtomakecerealtreats.com/how-to-freeze-rice-krispie-treats/
Any idea what the calories are in a serving size?
I just ran the nutrition calculator for my recipe card and it says 220 calories if cut into 18 pieces, but I can’t say how accurate it is.
Warning, this recipe doesn’t work anymore bc a bag of marshmallows is now 10oz. You have to adjust for shrink flation
Actually, Jet-Puffed and Great Value both sell mini marshmallows in 10-oz or 16-oz bags. You just have to make sure you buy the right size. But yes, 10-oz won’t be enough, so definitely buy two if that’s all that is available on your store’s shelves.
Made these today for a 4th of July weekend BBQ and they were an absolute hit! So many compliments, also so easy to make so big bonus there. Thanks for sharing, I will 100% be making this recipe again.
So glad you enjoyed this recipe Jamie!
I made them and mixed peanut butter about 3 tablespoons (you can taste the mixing spoon and see if you want to add more)into the melted marshmallows because we like reese cups on our smores.
Mmm! Sounds like a delicious addition!
I really want to make these again, but all the stores in my area are all out of Golden grahams! I have been looking for over a month on all grocery visits. Do you think it would work to substitute Graham cracker pieces?
That’s a bummer! Graham cracker pieces should be ok. They are just more fragile and might crumb up a little.
Great ideas, I will try that next time. I made these for my friend’s 40th birthday. She took them home and hid them so that the kids wouldn’t binge them. Huge hot!
I’ve made these twice now and they are very popular and get eaten quickly! My only issue is that even with waiting the 2 minutes to let the marshmallow mixture cool, all of my chocolate chips melt, making it a big globby pile of chocolate/marshmallow coated golden grahams. People seem to like it that way, although it doesn’t look nearly as pretty as your picture! 🙂
Maybe try waiting 3-5 minutes then. You can also try folding in the chocolate chips after you’ve added the melted marshmallows. Glad they are still a hit for taste!
What I do that solves that problem is freezing the chocolate chips. Works every time. 👌
Great tip! Thanks for sharing!
