Sweet Crispy S'mores Rice Krispie Treats

When we think of summer, after all of the good fresh, local produce, we think of s'mores. The quintessential campfire dessert. Something that we've come to realize is actually quite a Canadian and American thing. Our mom, who grew up in England and Greece, had never had a s'more before and we actually had to explain to her what they were when we were testing this recipe. Can anyone confirm, are s'mores a North American thing?

For this summer dessert, we channeled our inner child and combined two of our favourite childhood desserts together; the rice krispie treat and the s'more. It's basically a glorified chocolate rice krispie treat, that is incredibly decadent and impressive. Trust us, you bring a plate of these to any summer gathering and people will be blown away.

This recipe is made in two parts, first is the rice krispie treat base where you mix in some of the s'mores ingredients (crumbled graham crackers and chocolate, to be exact) and then it's pressed into a pan and topped with more marshmallows, crumbled graham crackers and chocolate. You throw this pan under the broiler for about four minutes, to char the top of the marshmallows and mirror that smoky, campfire look and you're good to go.
