Instructions

Prepare the pan: Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
Melt butter & marshmallows: In a large pot over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add 4 cups of mini marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine Rice Krispies cereal and graham cracker pieces.
Combine everything: Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the cereal and graham crackers. Gently stir until everything is well coated.
Add chocolate & extra marshmallows: Let the mixture cool slightly (about 2 minutes), then fold in the chocolate chips and remaining 1 cup of mini marshmallows. The chocolate will melt slightly, creating a gooey texture.
Press into pan: Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan. Use a greased spatula (or your hands) to gently press it down evenly.
Top it off (optional): Sprinkle extra chocolate chips and mini marshmallows on top for extra flavor.
Set & slice: Let the treats cool for about 30 minutes, then cut into squares and enjoy!

Notes

Want extra gooey treats? Don’t press too firmly when placing them in the pan; a light touch keeps them softer.
Prefer a crunchier bite? Use less marshmallow mixture.
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Avoid refrigerating, as it can make them hard.
Want a campfire flavor? Lightly toast the marshmallows under the broiler for 30 seconds before serving.
