S’mores Crispy Treats Recipe (2024)

I’m confused. The opening narrative describes this as a “mash-up of crispy rice treats and s’mores”. The photo also suggests a rice cereal akin to Rice Chex in addition to the Golden Grahams style cereal in the finished product yet there’s no mention of a rice cereal in the list of ingredients.

When it says "scrape the mixture into the prepared pan" what pan is intended? The same as before and if so how is it "prepared?" Thanks

I agree, the method listed here is a little confusing. My best guess is that you scrape the broiled and stirred marshmallows into the pot of melted butter, add the other ingredients, and then pop all of that into the same pan you broiled the marshmallows in. With as much butter as there is *in* the recipe, and the fact that you greased the pan before broiling the marshmallows, you shouldn't need to wash and re-grease the pan in between steps.

Made this mostly by the book but instead of putting back in an 8x8 or 9x9 I put it into a 13x9 before broiling again. I also added more mini marshmallows to top it off and broiled for a minute or so and I was left with beautiful little toasted marshmallows on top. After it cooled, I finished by dusting with hot chocolate powder and this, combined with the little toasted mallows, was aesthetically pleasing.

Toast the marshmallows on oiled foil.

These are divine! We made a pan to bring on a long cabin weekend, and they were gone in the first night. The perfect way to get a s'mores treat without the campfire.

These could have been better if the final broiling step hadn't resulted in a dramatic fire. The finished bars may have tasted like ashes, but I couldn't stop eating them.

Drawing from the notes of others, these came out great.* lined a sheet pan with foil, folding the edges up and buttering, to toast the marshmallows - this made for a quick ~1 minute toast and less messy transfer* buttered an 8x8 pan for ease of removing treats* used equal amounts marshmallow to cereal* substituted milk chocolate chips because, well, that's what a Hershey bar is* broil of treats took only 30 seconds - watch closely!

Um, yes, golden grahams cereal...

I think you would lose a major crunch factor without the cereal. Also, graham crackers may absorb the butter/mallow mixture too much and make these too soft. You can always experiment though, good luck!

I would assume the 'greased' pan referred to in step 1.

These are delicious and I will definitely make again. I used my kitchen torch to burn the marshmallows and brown the top because I didn’t want to turn on the oven. I also subbed s’mores cereal since the store didn’t have any Golden Grahams. Finally, I always save a few marshmallows to mix in at the end because I like the texture difference a few unmelted marshmallows make.

I know the goal is to have a bar that's much like s'mores, but as-is the recipe is much too sweet. And I LOVE sweets. When I make this again I'll use rice or corn chex or similar cereal. Nuts would be good but moves away from the s'mores idea. And if you use older marshmallows, make sure you cut them up first. Otherwise too much heat needs to be applied to melt the marshmallows, and you end up melting the chocolate. We did add a sprinkling of salt top and that was a nice addition.

Ohmygod, these are incredible, grownup s'mores. The toasting really takes no time...just keep your oven open and your eyes on the marshmallows and rotate often. I do think the browned butter makes a difference. I didn't think it would all fit into the 8x8 pan I used, but they did. Just grease your hand to mash it down.

Buy two bags of marshmallows. When flames shot out of my oven on the first broil, I was glad I had them.

Made this tonight exactly to instructions. The glob of butter and marshmallows was hard to work in the cereal but it eventually all came together in a large Dutch oven and pressed into same pan used to brown mellows in step one. Delicious!!

I made these and followed the instructions to the letter. They totally crumbled. I have no idea what went wrong. I intend to serve them in a bowl as a snack.

OMG, these are delicious, especially if you love s'mores like I do! I was also confused by the "prepared pan" remark so I decided to grease up a separate 9x13 pan for the complete mixture as I didn't think it would all fit in the 9x9 I used to toast the marshmallows. That worked fine, but I probably could have gotten away with just re-using the 9x9. Will definitely make again!

Tasty, but a little greasy and rubbery. If I made these treats again, I’d cut the butter in half. I wouldn’t stir the chocolate chips in with the melted marshmallow. Instead, I’d sprinkle the chips on top of the pan of hot marshmallow that was mixed with the cereal, and then broil for 30-60 seconds so that it is layered like a real S’More.

Per the suggestions of others, I did the following and these were easy and very tasty. 1. Line sheet pan with foil. Spray. Broil one bag of big marshmallows (10-12 oz). Only took about a min. Browns quickly. Watch closely! 2. Ommited choc. Pressed cereal/butter/marsh mixture into a greased 8X11 pan. Used my very buttered up palm to press it in firmly.3. Top with mini marsh. Broil for a min. NOW Top that with some scattered choc. chunks. Warm in oven a minute or so to soften.

Marshmallows caught fire! Do not recommend the broiler step

First and last steps not super necessary imho

Yeah; this definitely requires a 9x13 pan for the final conglomeration.

Absolutely addicting. If you’re thinking of making them, do it. Maybe have a plan to give some away though because if not you’ll eat them all.

No joke that you need to watch it when it’s broiling at the end. The whole thing caught on fire (a fun kitchen first for me!). After I picked off the extra black bits, the rest was absolutely delicious!

I compared sugar amounts between graham cereal and graham crackers and decided to make this with crackers. Used two sleeves of crackers, just punched them with my hand on both sides to crush them a bit. Still crunchy! I can't even believe I made this, I'm not really a s'mores person, but something about it attracted me. Quite tasty!
