S'mores Rice Krispies treats are everything you love about a campfire s'more: ooey, gooey, sweet, and toasted. But you don't need a campfire for these treats! These cereal treats are heaped with marshmallow flavor and the perfect balance of graham cracker and chocolate with an extra crispy texture. They are a perfect, simple sweet treat and you can have them ready in less than 20 minutes flat.

Instructions
Spread the mini marshmallows evenly over the bottom of a 9x13 baking pan or quarter sheet pan. Set aside.
Heat a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium low heat. Add the butter to the pot and melt. Once the butter is almost totally melted, add the regular marshmallows to the pot.Stir over medium-low heat until the marshmallows are almost completely melted. Remove from heat and continue to stir until the mixture is smooth.
Add the Rice Krispies and graham crackers. Stir until well combined and evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.Then add the chocolate pieces stirring gently and as quickly as possible to prevent too much melting. You should see a few streaks of of melted chocolate but most should still be in chunks.
Gently press the mixture into your prepared pan as evenly as possible. Let cool for about 10 minutes.
Flip out of the pan to a cutting board or serving platter so the mini marshmallows are on top. Use a kitchen torch to toast the top of your mini marshmallows to your desired level of golden brown (or burnt if you usually light your marshmallows on fire!) If you don't have a kitchen torch, flip the block of cereal treats onto a cookie sheet, marshmallow side up and broil for a minute or two until you reach your desired level of toastiness.
Cut into 16 squares and enjoy!
Notes
I like salted butter here to balance all of the sweet stuff going on.
Break the graham crackers into varied sizes but most of the pieces should be about the size of a pea.
I like to break each of the Hershey Bar squares into about 3 pieces roughly matching the size of the graham crackers.
