Base Ingredients
- 6 Tablespoons salted butter
- 1 (12-ounce) bag jumbo marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cereal Mix
- 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 2 cups Golden Grahams cereal
- 2 1/2 cups mini marshmallows, divided (about 1/2 of a 10-ounce bag)
Toppings
- 4 Hershey bars, broken into pieces
Instructions
- Prepare the pan: Line a 9×9-inch baking dish with a parchment paper sling or lightly butter it to ensure easy removal of the treats later.
- Melt butter: In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt 6 tablespoons of salted butter until fully liquefied.
- Add marshmallows: Add the entire 12-ounce bag of jumbo marshmallows to the melted butter. Stir continuously and gently melt over medium heat until the marshmallows are completely smooth and combined.
- Flavor the mixture: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance the sweetness and aroma.
- Combine cereals and marshmallows: Mix in 4 cups of Rice Krispies, 2 cups of Golden Grahams, and 1 1/2 cups of mini marshmallows. Stir carefully until all cereal pieces are evenly coated with the melted marshmallow mixture.
- Layer the treats: Transfer half of this cereal mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle half of the chopped Hershey’s bar pieces and half of the remaining 1 cup mini marshmallows over this layer.
- Add the rest of the mixture: Pour the remaining cereal mixture on top and gently press it down to compact slightly. Avoid pressing too hard to keep the treats from becoming dense and hard.
- Top with extras: Finally, sprinkle the remaining Hershey’s chocolate pieces and mini marshmallows evenly on top for a melty, gooey finish.
- Slice and serve: Allow the treats to set for a few minutes at room temperature, then cut into small squares and serve for a delightful s’mores-inspired snack.
Notes
- Using a parchment paper sling makes it easier to remove the treats from the pan without sticking.
- You can substitute milk chocolate Hershey bars with dark chocolate or other chocolate types if desired.
- Press the mixture lightly to avoid making the treats too dense, which can affect the texture.
- For a gluten-free version, ensure your cereals are certified gluten-free.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
