I've always loved Rice Krispies Treats, so when I saw this recipe I tried to find an excuse to make it...and with so many cookouts during the summer, I barely had to wait.
I started my morning off with Pumpkin Cake Muffins. I made them last night, and didn't take pictures of the whole thing, but it's definitely worth sharing. I suggest you pin this and make these many times over with different cake mixes (I used Buttery Yellow).
After forcing myself to stop eating muffins, I decided to start on the S'mores Treats.
12 oz Golden Grahams (I used store brand)
10 oz mini marshmallows
6 TBS butter
1 cup mini chocolate chips + 1 for topping
1/2 tsp vanilla
Instead of chocolate chips, I chopped up a Hershey's bar I bought specifically for s'mores. I chopped up 1 cup into small blocks, then used about 4-5 bars to chop finely for the topping. I didn't measure how much those made.
Spray a baking pan with cooking spray and set it to the side. I used a 13x9 but the original says 9x9. Eh, whatever.
Melt butter over medium heat, then add marshmallows and mix until smooth. I was feeling good about this, and even found a mallow clover. It ain't a 4-leafer, but I still thought it might mean good luck.
After all the marshmallows were melted, I folded in the grahams until it was all evenly coated. I turned the heat off then added my cup of chocolate. I spread the mix as evenly as possible into my pan, then topped it with the finely chopped chocolate. I put it in the fridge for 10 minutes, and voila!
I was so excited for my win, until I realized...I forgot my vanilla. So much for following directions! Next time I'll remember it for after the marshmallows are smooth...and not to let it fall on its side to leak out all over the place. Gross.
They still taste yummy and are perfect for these hot summer days when I don't want to turn the oven on.
Wish I did these for the 4th of July! You'll see why soon...
