S'mores Rice Krispies Treats


Rice Krispies treats are one of those things that I love to eat but never think about making. Several weeks ago I saw the packaged variety in the store, and I suddenly needed Rice Krispies Treats (#notpregnant). I landed on making this s'mores version for our church small group this week, and they are so delicious. They really do taste like s'mores, and we can't stop eating them. Have a great weekend!

S'mores Rice Krispies Treats
3 cups rice cereal
4 graham crackers, crumbled into bite-sized pieces (not crushed)
1/2 cup chocolate chips
4 Tbsp butter
1 (10.5 0z) bag of mini marshmallows

Spray a 8x8 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the rice cereal, graham cracker pieces, and chocolate chips. Set aside. Reserve a few marshmallows from the bag (about 1/8 cup or so) and set those aside.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the remaining marshmallows to the saucepan and stir with the butter until smooth.

Pour the marshmallow butter mixture into the rice cereal mixture and combine with a spatula. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press into an even layer (use a spatula that's been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray to keep it clean). Sprinkle the reserved marshmallows on top.

Chill for 30 minutes before slicing and serving. Makes 12.

REESE'S Dessert Bars


Continuing my recent obsession with all things chocolate + peanut butter, I made these REESE'S bars a couple of weekends ago. We had friends over for dinner at the last minute since bad weather canceled our beach trip plans, and I didn't have time to make a time-consuming dessert. Enter these bars, and a confession: they are from a box . Yes, I prefer to make many things from scratch, but I am not above a Betty Crocker box mix. These bars were so good our friends asked me for the recipe.... and then I had to admit I served them dessert from a box. Thankfully they are good friends and totally didn't care :) These bars are really quite delicious and all it takes is mixing up each of the three layers with butter, egg, and milk (only the bottom layer has to be baked!). Next time I need a quick and easy dessert, I'm going to try the HERSHEY'S S'mores bars.
