Smore's Bites

I am constantly looking for make ahead recipes or yummy treats that won't kill my diet. I found this one from Self magazine and had to share it. Great thing is you can make them up to two days ahead of time and save them in a air tight container.

INGREDIENTS

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 bag (10 oz) marshmallows
• 6 cups rice-crisp cereal
• 1 cup melted semisweet chocolate chips
• 7 1/2 rectangular graham crackers (or 15 squares)
• 1 cup marshmallow crème (such as Fluff)

• PREPARATION

  1. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in marshmallows and cook, stirring, until smooth, 2 minutes; remove from heat. In a bowl, combine marshmallows with cereal; mix well. In the bottom of a 9" x 13" pan, spread half of cereal mixture into a thin, even layer. Top with warmed chocolate. Place graham crackers in a single layer over chocolate, breaking crackers as needed to fit; top with crème. Spread remaining half of cereal mixture over crème; press lightly to cement layers together. Let s'mores sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before cutting and serving.

  They do have many more but this is the one I thought everyone would love for summer.
