Ingredients
  

3 cups Rice Krispies cereal

1 cup mini marshmallows

½ cup chocolate chips (choose between milk or dark for your preference)

½ cup graham cracker crumbs

½ cup creamy peanut butter (or substitute with chocolate-hazelnut spread for a richer taste)

¼ cup unsalted butter (or coconut oil for a dairy-free alternative)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Additional mini marshmallows and chocolate pieces for the topping

A sprinkle of crushed graham crackers for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pan: Begin by lining an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper. Make sure to leave some overhang on the sides for easier removal later. Set this aside to use later.

    Melt the Base: In a large saucepan, over low heat, combine the unsalted butter (or coconut oil) with the creamy peanut butter (or chocolate-hazelnut spread). Stir continuously until the mixture is completely melted and smooth, creating a luscious base.

      Mix in Flavorings: Once fully melted, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and graham cracker crumbs until they are thoroughly incorporated. The mixture should have a creamy consistency and slightly thick texture.

        Add Marshmallows: Gently fold in the mini marshmallows and chocolate chips into the warm mixture. Mix until everything is well combined and the marshmallows begin to soften just a bit from the heat.

          Combine with Cereal: Carefully fold in the Rice Krispies cereal. Make sure to coat all the cereal evenly, but do not over-mix, as this will help maintain that lovely crunchy texture.

            Transfer to the Pan: Pour the delicious mixture into the prepared baking dish. Using a spatula or your lightly dampened hands (to avoid sticking), press the mixture down firmly and evenly into the corners.

              Add Toppings: Sprinkle extra mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and crushed graham crackers over the top. Gently press them into the surface for added texture and flavor.

                Chill: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and let the treats chill for at least 30 minutes. This will help them set up nicely, making them easier to cut.

                  Cut and Serve: Once the treats have set, carefully lift them out of the pan using the edges of the parchment paper. Cut into squares or rectangles, and get ready to indulge in your delightful no-bake S’mores Rice Krispie Treats!
