What Are Rolled S’Mores Rice Krispie Treats?
Rolled S’Mores Rice Krispie Treats are a creative twist on traditional Rice Krispie squares. Instead of pressing the marshmallow cereal mixture into a pan and cutting it into squares, the mixture is spread into a thin rectangle, layered with chocolate and graham cracker crumbs, then carefully rolled into a log.
After chilling, the roll is sliced into beautiful spirals that reveal delicious layers of crispy cereal, melted chocolate, and graham cracker goodness.
The combination creates all the flavors of a classic s’more without requiring a campfire.

How to Make Rolled S’Mores Rice Krispie Treats
Step 1: Prepare Your Work Surface
Lay a large sheet of parchment paper on a clean countertop. Lightly spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2: Make the Rice Krispie Mixture
In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter.
Add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Add the Rice Krispies cereal and gently fold until evenly coated.
Step 3: Spread the Mixture
Transfer the mixture onto the prepared parchment paper.
Using lightly greased hands or a spatula, press it into a rectangle approximately 10 by 14 inches.
Work quickly while the mixture remains warm and flexible.
Step 4: Make the Chocolate Layer
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with one tablespoon of butter.
Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
Step 5: Add the Filling
Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the Rice Krispie rectangle.
Immediately sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs.
Scatter mini marshmallows evenly across the surface.
Step 6: Roll the Treats
Starting from the long side, carefully roll the Rice Krispie sheet into a tight log using the parchment paper to assist.
Move slowly to prevent cracking.
Step 7: Chill
Wrap the roll in parchment paper and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes until firm.
Step 8: Slice and Serve
Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into slices approximately one inch thick.
Arrange on a serving platter and enjoy.
Tips for Perfect Rolled Rice Krispie Treats
Work Quickly
The marshmallow mixture becomes harder to shape as it cools.
Don’t Overheat the Marshmallows
Overheated marshmallows can make the treats tough rather than soft and chewy.
Use Fresh Marshmallows
Fresh marshmallows melt more smoothly and provide the best texture.
Grease Your Hands
Lightly greased hands make spreading the mixture much easier.
Chill Before Slicing
Refrigeration helps maintain clean spiral slices.
Delicious Variations
Peanut Butter S’Mores Roll
Spread a thin layer of peanut butter beneath the chocolate.
Cookies and Cream Version
Add crushed chocolate sandwich cookies to the filling.
Salted Caramel S’Mores Roll
Drizzle caramel sauce over the chocolate layer before rolling.
Dark Chocolate S’Mores Roll
Use dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
Double Chocolate Roll
Mix mini chocolate chips directly into the Rice Krispie layer.
