S’mores Sushi with Krispies

S’mores Sushi is a playful no bake treat that brings the fun and flavor of campfire s’mores into bite size crispy rolls. This dessert is perfect for parties movie nights or any moment when nostalgia calls for marshmallows chocolate and graham crackers in a new form. The hands on rolling process is just as enjoyable as the sweet reward and kids love helping create these whimsical snacks.

I first whipped this up on a rainy afternoon when the kids wanted s’mores but a backyard fire was a no go. Now it is our go to sleepover dessert and always gets giggles when the sushi slices appear.

Ingredients

• Butter: This helps the Rice Krispies layer set with the perfect chew so use real butter for rich flavor
• Mini marshmallows: Melting these creates a gooey glue for the cereal be sure to pick plump fresh marshmallows for best results
• Rice Krispies cereal: The snappy texture is the best for a sushi rice effect look for crispy not stale cereal
• Marshmallow Fluff: Spreads easily to layer that classic s’more stickiness soft fluff works best at room temperature
• Chocolate chips or Nutella: Melty chocolate is vital for that authentic s’mores bite choose a good chocolate or creamy spread
• Crushed graham crackers: Introduces that toasty graham note stick to classic honey versions for a true flavor

Instructions

Melt the Butter and Marshmallows:

Drop butter into a large saucepan and heat over medium stirring until just melted. Pour in the mini marshmallows and patiently stir until everything becomes one smooth glossy pool with no lumps

Mix in Cereal:

Remove from heat and quickly add Rice Krispies cereal. Gently fold with a spatula until every cereal piece is thoroughly coated. Pause briefly so the mixture cools just enough to handle but does not harden

Form Your Sushi Base:

Lay a sheet of parchment paper on the table. Scoop the Rice Krispies mixture on top and press into an even rectangle about a half inch thick. Keep hands or spatula lightly greased with butter to avoid sticking

Add the Fillings:

Spread marshmallow Fluff softly all over the center of your rectangle leaving space along the edges. Scatter crushed graham crackers generously over the Fluff. Next drizzle or dot chocolate chips or spoon Nutella over top

Roll It Up:

Use the parchment paper’s edge to lift and roll the sticky rectangle up tightly like sushi. Work gently so it keeps its shape but does not crack. Use two hands to roll and press evenly as you go

Slice and Serve:

With a sharp buttered knife slice the log into sushi sized rounds. Wipe the blade between cuts for clean edges. Arrange the s’mores sushi pieces on a serving plate and enjoy all the layers in each bite

The marshmallow Fluff is my favorite element because it ties everything together and keeps each bite creamy and tender. My youngest always tries to sneak extra when we are spreading it and sometimes we laugh about who gets the gooeyest sushi roll.

Storage tips

Store leftover s’mores sushi in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage wrap well and refrigerate but let slices come to room temp before serving for softest texture. I have found layering with a little wax paper prevents the sushi from sticking together if stacked.

Ingredient substitutions

Try using chocolate hazelnut spread instead of chocolate chips for a creamier center. Gluten free crisped rice cereal and graham style cookies work well if you need to make this allergy friendly. Swap regular marshmallows and Fluff for vegan alternatives with nearly the same results.

Serving suggestions

Pile slices on a dessert platter and drizzle with extra chocolate for parties. Make a s’mores sushi bar by setting out toppings like sprinkles or mini candies for each guest to decorate their own. It also makes a cute lunchbox surprise or edible gift when packed in cupcake liners.

Seasonal Adaptations

Use pastel colored marshmallows for spring gatherings Add peppermint chips for a winter holiday twist Mix in a layer of caramel bits for fall campfire flair

Helpful notes

Rolling while the cereal mix is still a bit warm makes for tighter sushi. Use a silicone spatula for easiest release from parchment. For super neat slices a serrated knife can help
