Ingredients:
- 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 6 large chocolate bars (like milk chocolate or dark chocolate)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- Optional: Fresh fruit for garnish (like strawberries or bananas)
Preparation:
Step 1:
In a large bowl, combine the Rice Krispies and graham cracker crumbs. Set this mixture aside for later use. The crunchy texture of the Rice Krispies paired with the sweet taste of graham crackers forms the base of our sushi filling.
Step 2:
In a saucepan over low heat, combine the smooth peanut butter and honey. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well blended. As the peanut butter melts, it creates a delicious, sticky base that enhances the flavors of the s’mores. Once smooth, add the mini marshmallows to the mixture, stirring until they start to melt slightly. This adds an extra layer of gooeyness to our sushi filling.
Step 3:
Remove the saucepan from heat and pour the warm peanut butter and marshmallow mixture over the Rice Krispies and graham cracker mixture. Stir gently until all components are well combined and the Rice Krispies are evenly coated.
Step 4:
Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Using your hands, sprinkle a layer of the Rice Krispies mixture evenly across the tortilla. Be sure to leave some space at the edges; this will help the tortilla roll without spilling the filling.
Step 5:
Place 2-3 chocolate bars in a line across the middle of the Rice Krispies layer. Feel free to mix and match different types of chocolate for varied flavors—milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even white chocolate for a sweeter experience.
Step 6:
Carefully roll the tortilla up tightly from one end, tucking in the edges as you go to secure the filling. This step creates the sushi roll effect. Use a sharp knife to slice the rolled tortilla into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch thick.
Step 7:
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling, arranging the finished sushi pieces on a serving plate.
Step 8:
(Optional) Garnish with fresh fruit like strawberries or banana slices for an extra pop of color and freshness. This not only enhances the presentation but also adds a refreshing taste.
COOKING Rating:
Easy to Moderate – This recipe is simple enough for kids to help with under adult supervision, but precision in rolling the tortillas and assembling the sushi is key for presentation.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve the S’mores Sushi chilled or at room temperature. They are perfect for picnics, summer parties, or as an easy dessert for movie nights. Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat or with fresh fruit for a refreshing contrast.
Tips:
- Chocolate Variations: Experiment with different types of chocolate bars, such as caramel-filled or flavored chocolates, for unique taste profiles.
- Add Additional Fillings: Feel free to incorporate sliced bananas or strawberries into the filling for a twist on flavors and added nutrition.
- Melted Chocolate Drizzle: Drizzling melted chocolate over the top of the sushi rolls adds a beautiful finish and extra sweetness.
- Store Properly: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. However, they are best enjoyed fresh.
