Review
This recipe is just about the closest you can get to the real thing without making actual s’mores... plus you get a little bonus buttery flavor mixed in.
Our son has to avoid dairy in his diet, so it is always great to be able to make a special dairy-free treat that he can enjoy along with us.
The bars taste very much like extra-crunchy Rice Krispies treats with an added graham flavor. (And I love just about anything coated in marshmallow.)
Even better, the recipe follows the fairly familiar and easy process of making Rice Krispies treats. Just swap the Rice Krispies with broken up graham cracker pieces, press some chocolate pieces on top, and voila!
This is likely due to my inexperience with making much of anything in the kitchen (remember: I prefer heating up marshmallows with sticks), but it was hard to mix the graham cracker pieces with the melted marshmallows, and the mix didn’t spread too easily across its final resting place in the pan. Fortunately, my biceps won the day. Couldn’t have done it without ’em.
The eating experience is a little messy, but that’s how the real s’mores usually work too. Use fewer marshmallows or set out some forks for guests as a friendly hint if you think that it could cause any problems.
Despite these minor issues, I ultimately give this treat a perfect score across the board. 5 stars, baby!
