There was actually no firewood allowed where we were camping in Big Sur so I came home with a lot of s’more making materials! So I decided to make some S’mores Rice Krispie Treats – omg yum. I remember attempting to make rice krispie treats as a kid. I melted the marshmallows in a pan but forgot the butter which made for a a huge mess – I also happened to use a nonstick pan to melt the marshmallows so everything was stuck and burnt onto the pan. I think that was the last time I tried to make them on my own. I’m older and wiser now – these were easy to make! I actually made this twice since I’ve been back the recipe I’m sharing is the doubled version because I liked how it made thicker squares. If you don’t want to make that much you can cup the recipe in half for 1 inch thick squares.

INGREDIENTS
1 stick of unsalted butter 24 jumbo marshmallows 2 tsp vanilla extract 6 cups Rice Krispies 6 graham crackers, crumbled 1 1/2 cup mini marshmallows 1 1/2 cup chocolate chips |
PREPARATION
1. Oil a 9×9 pan and set aside. In a large bowl combine, rice krispies and graham crackers. Keep mini marshmallows and chocolate chips nearby.
2. Melt butter over medium heat, once butter has melted add vanilla extract and turn heat to low. Add jumbo marshmallows – continuously stir the marshmallows until mixture is smooth.
3. Mix the melted marshmallows together with the rice krispies and graham crackers – then add addition marshmallows and chocolate chips (I add this a little after so it isn’t so hot and some pieces melt but not all).
4. Mix well and then transfer mix into 9×9 greased pan. Oil your hands and lightly press the mixture into pan. Allow treats to set for 20 mins, remove and cut into 16 pieces.
