The winter here in Boston is starting to get to me. I mean, really starting to get to me. Just too much snow (most records for snowfall totals have been smashed) and there is more snow on the way. This led to me thinking “Wouldn’t summer be nice right about now!” and thus summer treats such as Rice Krispies Treats (though I guess that is a quintessentially American year-round treat) and S’Mores. So I made both. Together.
Ingredients
3 tablespoons butter
4 cups mini marshmallows
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
1 box graham crackers
1/2 cup marshmallow fluff
8 ounces melting chocolate
Directions
Spray a half sheet (18 x 13 inch) pan with baking spray and set aside.
In large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat. Add rice krispies and stir until well coated. Using buttered spatula (or butter coated hands!) evenly press mixture onto the prepared pan. Cool for an hour or so (20-30 minutes in the fridge).
Using the graham crackers as a size guide, cut rice krispie treats. Using the marshmallow fluff, “glue” a graham cracker on each side of the square. I assemble all of them before proceeding to the next step, but you do them individually.
Cover your work surface with wax paper. In a double boiler, or metal or glass bowl set over a pot of water, melt the chocolate. Dip half of each treat into the melted chocolate and place on the wax paper to harden.
