Who doesn't love ooey, gooey s'mores?  They are synonymous with summer, am I right? I love that you can now enjoy this iconic summer treat anytime of the year!

While I'm not a huge fan of traditional s'mores, I do love the flavor combination of milk chocolate, graham, and marshmallow. That's why I'm always on the look out for ways to get those flavors untraditionally, like in these S'mores bars! Let me just say, a box of Golden Graham cereal I had in the pantry was my inspiration...and then it just exploded from there! 

How do you make S'mores Krispie Treats?

This simple no bake recipe is a snap to make. Melt the butter, stir in the marshmallows until they melt. Mix in the cereal and other mix in ingredients and press into a prepared pan. 

If you can make rice krispie treats, you can make S'mores Krispie Treats! Would you believe, I am a terrible krispie treat maker? Really, it's true.  

What should be a simple mix and go recipe always seems to give me woes.  Maybe I over think the whole thing. I seriously do not know what my issue is. However, when I made this recipe, these S'mores Krispie Treats came out perfect the first time.


Seriously good.


And I didn't screw them up! That's how easy this recipe is!

A word of caution: When you make S'mores Krispie treats, you've got to work quick! You will find when the pips meet the warm marshmallow coating, they start to melt FAST!


What is a pip you ask?  According to Hershey's® a pip is what the breakable sections of the Hershey Milk Chocolate bar are called.  I may have overworked a few pips into the treats when I added them, but if you are quick, you can get them in there without much melting happening!  

To cut these into bars, I just sprayed a glass 13" x  9" casserole pan with cooking spray, then lifted the entire thing out of the pan with a spatula and then cut into pieces on a cutting board.  But you could also use some parchment to make a sling to allow for easy removal too. 

These krispie treats are loved by kids and adults alike!  My crew gobbled them up the night I made them...so I guess I'll be making another batch for this weekend!


Feel free to customize this recipe to whatever flavors suite you!  Add in peanut butter or use peanut butter cups in place of the pips!  The choice is yours.

Making S'mores Krispie Treats is as easy as 1, 2, 3!
