(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 200°F.

2. Line a 10x15 jellyroll pan with waxed paper. Lightly butter the waxed paper and set it aside.

3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the marshmallows and ¼ cup of butter. Cover and heat on high for 30 seconds, stir, and repeat until fully melted and blended.

4. Stir in the Rice Krispies cereal and graham cracker crumbs until well combined.

5. Press the mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.

6. Use an offset spatula to spread the marshmallow creme on top of the Rice Krispies mixture.

7. Break the Hershey's chocolate bars into pieces and place them on top of the marshmallow creme.

8. Place the pan in the oven for 2 minutes, allowing the chocolate to soften.

9. Once the chocolate is softened, use a spatula to spread it evenly over the marshmallow creme.

10. Let the mixture cool for about 10 minutes.

11. Starting at one end, carefully roll up the treat in a jellyroll style, peeling the waxed paper away as you roll. Pinch the seams together to secure the roll.

12. Place the rolled-up pinwheels seam side down and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully set.

13. Once set, slice into 15 pinwheel servings and enjoy!

Servings and Timing

• Servings: 15

• Prep Time: 15 minutes

• Chill Time: 30-45 minutes

Variations

1. Add More Toppings: You can sprinkle extra graham cracker crumbs or mini marshmallows on top before rolling to enhance the s’mores flavor.

2. Use Different Chocolate: While Hershey’s bars are the classic choice, you can experiment with other chocolate bars or even use chocolate chips for a different texture.

3. Make Them Gluten-Free: Swap out the regular Rice Krispies for gluten-free cereal and check that the marshmallow creme and chocolate bars are gluten-free to make this a gluten-free treat.

4. Nutty Twist: Add crushed nuts like almonds or pecans into the Rice Krispies mixture for a crunchy twist.

Storage/Reheating

Store any leftover pinwheels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them fresh longer, store them in the fridge for up to 1 week. These treats are best enjoyed fresh, but they still taste great even after a few days.

For reheating, simply allow them to come to room temperature before serving.

FAQs

1. Can I use regular marshmallows instead of miniature marshmallows?

Yes, you can use regular marshmallows. Just use about 10 large marshmallows, and you'll need to adjust the melting time slightly.

2. Can I use a different type of cereal?

While Rice Krispies give the best texture, you can experiment with other puffed cereals, such as corn or wheat puffed rice, if you prefer.

3. How do I roll the treats without making a mess?

Be gentle as you roll the mixture, and peel the waxed paper away slowly as you go. Pinching the seams together tightly ensures that they stay in place.

4. Can I freeze these pinwheels for later?

Yes, you can freeze the pinwheels! Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store them in an airtight container or freezer bag. They can last up to 2 months in the freezer.

5. Can I make these without graham cracker crumbs?

You could try using crushed cookies (like digestive biscuits or graham crackers) as a substitute. They’ll still give a similar flavor and texture.

6. What can I use instead of marshmallow creme?

If you don’t have marshmallow creme, you can substitute with an extra layer of melted marshmallows, or even a soft, sweet frosting if you prefer.

7. How do I prevent the chocolate from becoming too hard after refrigerating?

Be sure not to overheat the chocolate in the oven. Once softened, spread it out evenly and let it cool gradually to avoid it becoming too hard when chilled.

8. Can I add more chocolate to the pinwheels?

Absolutely! If you're a chocolate lover, feel free to add extra chocolate chips or chopped chocolate to the marshmallow creme layer before rolling.

9. How can I tell when the pinwheels are fully set and ready to slice?

The chocolate should be firm to the touch and not sticky when you press on it. You can also check if the marshmallow layers are set and no longer tacky.

10. Can I double the recipe to make more servings?

Yes, you can double the recipe and use a larger pan, just ensure that you adjust the quantities of ingredients accordingly. The rolling process will be the same!
