S'more Rice Krispie Treats

Fourth of July is upon us which means barbeques and bonfires will be cropping up everywhere you look this Wednesday. And nothing quite says summer like everyone's favorite bonfire treat: the S'more. But for those of us who may not be able to make it Up North this Holiday Week, there is an equally sweet alternative. The S'more Rice Krispie Treat. I took the classic Rice Krispie recipe and added chocolate chunks and graham crackers to create this incredibly simple dessert. It comes together in just a few minutes...and will surely disappear just as quickly. Happy Fourth of July!
