S’mores Rice Krispy treat

Living in the UK has left many of us wondering what a S’more tastes like. A S’more is a sweet snack consisting of chocolate and a toasted marshmallow sandwiched between two crackers. If you’ve ever toasted a marshmallow, you’ll know how messy they can get so here’s the least messy, UK version of an American S’more.

Again, Rice Krispy treats can be very versatile, and the recipe can be easily adapted to suit different wants and needs. A great after dinner treat!
