FAQs

How do I keep Rice Krispies treats from getting hard?

Use fresh marshmallows and don’t overheat them. Melting them slowly over low heat helps maintain a soft texture.

Can I use large marshmallows instead of mini ones?

Yes! Just cut them into smaller pieces or allow extra time for them to melt evenly.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare them a day or two in advance and store them in an airtight container.

What’s the best chocolate to use?

Milk chocolate gives them a classic s’mores flavor, but you can also use dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips.

How do I cut them cleanly?

Use a sharp knife and grease it lightly with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Can I add extra mix-ins?

Yes! Chopped nuts, mini peanut butter cups, or even a drizzle of white chocolate can be great additions.

Do I need to refrigerate these?

No, they store well at room temperature, but refrigeration can help them last longer.

What if I don’t have graham crackers?

You can substitute with crushed digestive biscuits, vanilla wafers, or even pretzels for a salty twist.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Yes! Use a plant-based butter alternative and dairy-free chocolate chips.

Why are my treats falling apart?

Make sure you press the mixture firmly into the pan and let it cool completely before cutting.
