t’s pure camping magic in bar form—these gooey squares combine the classic campfire treat with everyone’s favorite cereal snack. Melted marshmallows and butter bind crispy rice cereal together, while chunks of chocolate and crushed graham crackers bring that authentic s’mores flavor, no campfire required. It’s a kid-friendly dessert that takes just minutes to make, perfect for when you’re craving summer vibes any time of year.
These gooey treats are pretty perfect on their own, but they’re amazing alongside a cold glass of milk for dipping. I also love serving them at summer gatherings with fresh berries like strawberries or raspberries – the tartness balances out the rich chocolate and marshmallow flavors.

Butter the bottom and sides of a 9×13-inch casserole dish to prevent sticking; set aside until ready to use.
Step 2: Melt Marshmallows and Butter
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the marshmallows and 6 tablespoons of salted butter. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth. Be sure to keep an eye on it to avoid overheating, which can make the marshmallows tough.
Step 3: Mix in Cereal, Chocolate, and Graham Crackers
Add the crisped rice cereal, chocolate chips or chunks, and crushed graham crackers to the melted marshmallow-butter mixture. Stir everything together until the ingredients are fully and evenly incorporated.
Step 4: Spread and Cool the Mixture
Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan from Step 1. Spread it evenly with a spatula or lightly buttered hands for easier handling. Drizzle with melted chocolate for extra flair. Allow the mixture to cool completely before slicing and serving.
