(Note: The full ingredients list with measurements is provided in the recipe card directly below.)
Instructions
Pre-Prepare the Base
Lay out a sheet of Rice Krispies Treats on a clean surface. If you haven’t made them yet, simply prepare your favorite Rice Krispies Treats recipe and let them cool until firm.
Crush the Graham Crackers
Place graham crackers in a resealable bag and crush them until they’re finely crumbed. This will serve as the “seaweed” coating for your sushi rolls.
Assemble the Sushi
Slice the Rice Krispies Treats into long, rectangular strips. Carefully spread a thin layer of melted milk chocolate over each strip. Top the chocolate with a row of mini marshmallows along one edge—this is your filling!
Roll It Up
Gently roll the treat from the edge with the marshmallows to the opposite side, pressing lightly to secure the filling. Roll each sushi piece in the crushed graham cracker crumbs until the entire roll is coated.
Slice and Serve
Using a sharp knife, cut each roll into bite-sized pieces, just like traditional sushi rolls. Drizzle extra melted chocolate on top for an elegant finish and add a sprinkle of sea salt if desired.

How to Serve S’mores Sushi
S’mores Sushi is best enjoyed as a playful dessert or a fun party snack. Arrange the sushi pieces on a platter and serve with a side of extra melted chocolate for dipping. They also pair wonderfully with a glass of cold milk or your favorite iced coffee.
Additional Tips
- Chill Before Slicing: Let the assembled sushi chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before slicing; this helps the chocolate set and makes cutting easier.
- Customize Your Roll: Experiment with a thin spread of peanut butter on the Rice Krispies Treat before adding marshmallows for an extra layer of flavor.
- Keep It Neat: Use parchment paper while rolling to help maintain shape and prevent sticking.
- Extra Crunch: For a unique twist, sprinkle a few toasted coconut flakes along with the graham cracker crumbs.
FAQ’s
1. Can I make S’mores Sushi ahead of time?
Yes! Assemble the rolls, chill them for about 10 minutes, then cover and store in the refrigerator for up to a few hours. For best texture, slice right before serving.
2. What if I don’t have Rice Krispies Treats?
You can make them quickly at home using your favorite recipe—just ensure they’re firm before assembly.

Absolutely! Dark chocolate works beautifully if you prefer a richer, slightly less sweet flavor.
4. Can I add extra flavors to the filling?
Feel free to get creative—try adding a thin layer of peanut butter or a few fresh berries for a twist.
5. How do I prevent the marshmallows from melting too soon?
Work quickly with the melted chocolate and let the treats cool in the refrigerator to set before slicing.
6. Is there a vegan option for this recipe?
Yes! Use vegan Rice Krispies Treats, dairy-free chocolate, and vegan marshmallows to create a plant-based version.
7. What’s the best way to crush graham crackers?
Place them in a resealable bag and gently crush with a rolling pin until you reach your desired texture.
8. How thick should I spread the chocolate?
A thin, even layer is perfect—enough to add flavor without overpowering the marshmallows.
9. Can I drizzle any other sauces on top?
Sure, you can experiment with a caramel or peanut butter drizzle for extra decadence.
10. What if I want a less sweet version?
Reduce the amount of chocolate or opt for dark chocolate, and consider adding a pinch of sea salt to balance the sweetness.
