Description

Campfire magic meets childhood nostalgia in these s’mores rice krispies treats pinwheels, blending graham cracker crunch with marshmallow sweetness. Rolled layers of chocolatey goodness promise a delightful twist you’ll savor with every delectable bite.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1.5 cups mini chocolate chips

Binding/Sweetening Ingredients:

  • 1 (10 ounces / 283 grams) bag mini marshmallows
  • 1.5 cups marshmallow fluff

Preparation Ingredients:

  • 4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. In a large pot over medium heat, gently melt butter until it transforms into a silky liquid, stirring to prevent burning.
  2. Pour mini marshmallows into the melted butter, continuously stirring until they completely dissolve into a smooth, glossy mixture. Remove from heat immediately.
  3. Swiftly incorporate Rice Krispies cereal and graham cracker crumbs into the marshmallow base, ensuring rapid and thorough integration before the mixture cools and hardens.
  4. Transfer the sticky mixture onto a prepared sheet of parchment paper, using a spatula to carefully spread and flatten into a uniform rectangular shape, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
  5. Delicately spread marshmallow fluff across the entire surface, creating an even, creamy layer that covers the entire Rice Krispies foundation.
  6. Generously scatter mini chocolate chips over the marshmallow fluff, distributing them evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.
  7. Carefully begin rolling the mixture from the shorter edge, using the parchment paper as a guide and gently pressing to create a compact, tight log.
  8. Encase the rolled log in wax paper, securing the edges to maintain its shape and structure.
  9. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, allowing the treat to firm and set completely.
  10. After chilling, unwrap the log and slice into 1-inch thick pinwheel sections, revealing the swirled interior design.

Notes

  • Use unsalted butter for better control of the sweetness and prevent treats from becoming too salty.
  • Work rapidly when combining marshmallows and cereals to prevent mixture from hardening and ensure even distribution.
  • Lightly grease your spatula and hands with cooking spray to prevent mixture from sticking during preparation.
  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for richer flavor and smoother melting in the pinwheels.
