S’mores Dipped Rice Krispie Treats

What’s more delicious than a s’more? ? A s’mores dipped rice krispie treat! ? Oh. Em. Gee. I know! I surprise even myself sometimes with the the level of genius that I am. ??‍♀️ S’mores Dipped Rice Krispie Treats! Well, praise be to the sweet treat angels ?, because this one came to me in a dream. I won’t go into too much detail (it wasn’t that interesting ?), but let’s just say there was a campfire (hence, the s’mores), a lot of camping food, and rice krispie treats.

So, I woke up with a huge craving for rice krispie treats, and wanted to create something different…something “more” than just a rice krispie treat. Alas, the S’mores Dipped Rice Krispie Treat was born! ??

Not only are rice krispie treats extremely easy to make, they are also on the lighter side as far as sweet treats go. So, we selfishly love these little heavenly squares of ooey, gooey, buttery marshmallow and rice cereal because you can eat more than one, and not necessary feel like you did! ?

These are also perfect for summer, because you don’t even have to turn the oven on to make them!

Go on, babes…grab the ingredients below, and get ready for the best summer treat of your life! ????‍?

What You Need

9 cups rice cereal
2 – 10 oz. bags of mini marshmallows
1 – 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Melting Wafers (24 ounces)
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
5-10 rectangles of graham crackers, crushed

Step by Step

1. MAKE RICE KRISPIE TREATS: Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, then lightly spray with nonstick spray. Set aside.
2. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat, and once melted add in your mini marshmallows. Once marshmallows are completely melted, remove from heat.
3. Quickly stir in the salt and vanilla extract, then fold in your rice cereal.
4. Once all cereal is coated with the butter and marshmallow mixture, transfer to your baking pan lined with parchment paper. Use a rubber spatula (I always spray mine with a little bit of the nonstick spray as well).
5. Push down the mixture into the pan (very, very gently! You don’t want to push these down too hard, or they will set up to be a bit hard) until it is mostly flat and even across the pan.
6. Let rice krispie treats set for at least one hour.
7. Once set, remove the entire piece of parchment with the treats from the pan, and cut into squares.
8. DIPPING: Melt your Ghirardelli dark chocolate melting wafers according to the package. The only note I have on this step is to not overheat. We started with 30 seconds, stirred, and then returned the chocolate to the microwave for another 30 seconds until the chocolate was melted all the way. You don’t want to overheat because it will make the chocolate too thin (or it will create a thickness that does not coat the treats with a smooth surface).
9. Once melted, add in your vegetable oil and combine.
10. Next, simply dip each rice krispie square half way into the chocolate. Let remaining chocolate run off back into the bowl and simply place each square on the parchment paper to harden.
11. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle some of the crushed graham crackers on top of the chocolate.
12. Let each square set for a few minutes so the chocolate and topping can harden.
13. Store leftover treats in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
14. Enjoy!
