S'mores Golden Graham Rice Krispie Treats
S'mores golden graham rice krispie treats are an elevated rice krispie treat with brown butter, golden grahams and chocolate. An easy, no-bake treat that's perfect for the summertime.
Ingredients
- 7 tablespoons salted butter, divided
- 10 ounces (283.5 g) mini marshmallows
- ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon (0.25 teaspoon) flaked sea salt
- 2½ cups (340 g) golden grahams cereal
- 3½ cups (94.5 g) rice krispie cereal
- 2-3 hershey bars
Instructions
- Spray an 8x8, or slightly smaller, pan with cooking spray and set aside. Can also line with parchment paper.
- Start by browning the butter. You'll take 6 tbsp. of butter and melt in a medium saucepan, and then continue to cook past the point of boiling. You will do this over low-medium heat, past the point of the butter foaming, until it turns a nice golden brown, and has a nutty smell. Make sure you are stirring and watching it, because it will turn from perfectly brown to burnt fairly quickly. As soon as it's done browning add 1 tablespoon of butter and mix in.
- Remove 1 cup of marshmallows from the bag to mix in later. Turn heat to lowest setting and add the remaining marshmallows, vanilla and salt to pan and stir until marshmallows are completely melted.
- Remove from heat and add golden grahams and rice krispies and stir until completely coated. Fold in the 1 cup of marshmallows you had kept out.
- Pour ½ of the mixture into prepared pan and then press half of your chocolate squares on top of that part of the treats. Follow with the other half of the cereal bars and top with the remaining chocolate and a few extra golden grahams. Press down firmly to create an even layer and compact rice krispie treats. Top with a bit more flaked salt.
- Allow to cool/set completely before serving.
Notes
I use a 6x8 pyrex container with a lid when I make these. The slightly smaller container allows for a taller rice krispie treat. But use whatever size you have on hand!
You can add all the marshmallows at the melting point if you prefer. I just like having a few that are still in tact.
These will remain fresh for 3-4 days if kept in an airtight container.
