Scale
Base Ingredients
- 6 cups Crispy Rice Cereal
- 4 cups Marshmallows (plant-based)
- 1/2 cup Butter (plant-based)
- 1 cup Chocolate chips (plant-based), divided
- 1/4 cup Honey (natural)
- 1/3 cup Graham cracker crumbs
- 1 teaspoon Vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
Instructions
- Step 1: Melt the Butter and Marshmallows Begin by gently melting plant-based butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Once melted, add the marshmallows and stir continuously until fully melted and smooth. This mixture forms the sticky base that holds everything together.
- Step 2: Add the Honey and Vegetarian Worcestershire Sauce Stir in the honey and a splash of vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) to the marshmallow mixture. These ingredients enrich the flavor, giving your treats a more complex and satisfying taste.
- Step 3: Mix in Chocolate and Graham Cracker Crumbs Remove the pan from heat and immediately stir in half of the plant-based chocolate chips and the graham cracker crumbs. The heat will soften the chocolate, infusing the mixture with that decadent s’mores essence.
- Step 4: Combine with Rice Cereal Pour the crispy rice cereal into the pan and gently fold it into the marshmallow mixture, carefully coating every piece without crushing the cereal’s crispy texture.
- Step 5: Press and Cool Transfer the mixture to a greased or parchment-lined pan. Press it down firmly but gently to create an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top and lightly press them in. Allow it to cool completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
- Use fresh marshmallows to achieve a smoother, stickier mixture and ultimate chewiness.
- Fold in the cereal gently to maintain an airy and crispy texture rather than a dense one.
- Press the mixture firmly but gently to help treats hold together without becoming too compact.
- Choose quality plant-based chocolate chips with higher cocoa content for richness and better melting.
- Cool completely before cutting to prevent crumbling and ensure clean squares.
