Tips

The main ingredient of S’mores Rice Krispies Treats is chocolate, so make sure to choose the best quality chocolate. 

The marshmallows must be melted as a part of the process, but they will taste better after they have been baked just long enough to get an appealing burnt golden color.

You can also add vanilla extract for more flavor. Nonstick spray or softened unsalted butter would be great for greasing.

To make the S’mores Rice Krispie Treats soft and spongy, you should spread the layers evenly and avoid pressing them down too firmly. This recipe will taste even better when served cooled and topped with a layer of nuts.
