It isn’t quite time to head outside or turn to the fireplace at halftime for a warm treat, so when I stumbled across this little compromise, I had to share it.  Not to mention, these little S’more Bites won’t leave you with any extra pre-holiday bulge (they’re only 144 cals per square, YES!).   Cook these up and you’re bound to be a hit with boys…and the gals!

Ingredients:

  • 3 tbsp. butter
  • 1 bag (10 oz.) marshmallows
  • 6 cup rice-crisp cereal
  • 1 cup melted semisweet chocolate chips
  • 7 ½ rectangular graham crackers (or 15 squares)
  • 1 cup marshmallow crème (such as fluff)

Preparation:

  1. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.  Stir in marshmallows and cook, stirring, until smooth, 2 minutes.  Remove from heat.
  2. In a bowl, combine marshmallows with cereal; mix well.
  3. In the bottom of a 9”x13” pan, spread half of cereal mixture into a thin, even layer.  Top with warmed chocolate.
  4. Place graham crackers in a single layer over chocolate, breaking crackers as needed to fit; top with crème.
  5. Spread remaining half of cereal mixture over crème; press lightly to cement layers together.
  6. Let S’mores sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before cutting and serving.

Enjoy!
