How to Make the Recipe
Step 1: Prepare the Rice Krispies
In a large bowl, mix together the Rice Krispies cereal with a tablespoon of melted butter (optional). You can also drizzle a little honey or corn syrup to make the cereal stick together better. Stir until all the cereal is coated.
Step 2: Assemble the S’mores Rolls
Place a sheet of parchment paper or a clean surface to work on. Lay down a graham cracker and crush it into small pieces.
Next, lay out a piece of wax paper and spread a thin layer of Rice Krispies mixture over the wax paper. Press the cereal lightly to form a layer that’s easy to roll up.
Step 3: Add the Marshmallow and Chocolate
Place a marshmallow on the Rice Krispies layer, followed by a strip of chocolate. You can break the chocolate bar into thin pieces that fit the width of the roll.
Step 4: Roll the Sushi
Gently roll up the Rice Krispies, graham crackers, marshmallow, and chocolate into a log shape, just like you would roll sushi. You can use parchment paper to help keep it tight.
Step 5: Slice the Rolls
Once you have rolled up your s’mores sushi, slice it into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife. Try to slice through the marshmallow and chocolate evenly for clean, attractive rolls.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Arrange the s’mores sushi pieces on a platter. You can serve them as-is or drizzle with a little extra melted chocolate or a dusting of graham cracker crumbs for an added touch.
Tips for Making the Recipe
- Press the Rice Krispies Mixture Firmly: When spreading out the Rice Krispies, make sure to press them gently but firmly. This helps the roll stay together without falling apart.
- Use Parchment Paper for Rolling: Using parchment paper to roll the sushi helps keep everything tight and prevents the ingredients from sticking to your hands.
- Cut Cleanly: Use a sharp knife to slice the rolls to ensure that they cut cleanly without squishing the ingredients.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the rolls ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for a few hours before slicing and serving. Just make sure they’re tightly wrapped to prevent them from drying out.
How to Serve
S’mores Sushi can be served as a fun dessert or snack at any gathering. They are perfect for a themed party, movie night, or even a camping-inspired treat indoors. Pair them with a cold glass of milk or a hot chocolate for the ultimate s’mores experience. You can also serve them alongside other desserts for a complete sweet spread.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
Store any leftover s’mores sushi in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. The Rice Krispies might soften over time, so it’s best to enjoy them within a couple of days.
Freezing
While you can freeze the s’mores sushi, the marshmallows and chocolate may not hold up well after freezing and thawing. If you want to freeze them, wrap each piece individually and store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month. Let them thaw for a few minutes before serving.
Reheating
If desired, you can briefly microwave individual rolls for 10-15 seconds to slightly melt the chocolate and marshmallow again. However, be careful not to overheat them.
FAQs

Yes, if you’re short on time, you can use pre-made Rice Krispies treats as the base of your sushi rolls. Just cut them into thin layers to roll.
2. Can I make these gluten-free?
Yes, by using gluten-free graham crackers and Rice Krispies, you can easily make this dessert gluten-free.

Yes, mini marshmallows would work well in this recipe. Just be sure to use enough to get the marshmallow effect inside the roll.
5. How can I make the rolls more chocolaty?

6. Can I add nuts to the filling?
Absolutely! Chopped nuts, such as almonds or hazelnuts, would add a delicious crunch and flavor to your s’mores sushi.
7. What if I don’t have Rice Krispies?
If you don’t have Rice Krispies, you can try using another crispy cereal or even crushed cornflakes for a similar effect.
8. Can I use dark chocolate?
Yes, dark chocolate is a great alternative if you prefer less sweetness. It pairs wonderfully with the marshmallow and graham cracker.
9. How long does this recipe take to make?
This recipe takes about 15-20 minutes to assemble, depending on how quickly you can roll and slice the sushi.

Description
This fun and creative S’mores Sushi is a playful twist on the classic campfire treat. With sweet marshmallow fluff, rich chocolate, and crunchy graham cracker “rice,” these bite-sized sushi rolls are a unique and delicious dessert. Perfect for parties, family gatherings, or just as a fun way to enjoy the flavors of s’mores without the campfire!
Ingredients
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 8 graham crackers, crushed)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup chocolate hazelnut spread (like Nutella)
- 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff
- 4–6 large marshmallows
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
- 1/4 cup chocolate syrup (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
- Prepare the Graham Cracker Rice:
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand, and the crumbs are evenly coated with butter. Set aside. - Prepare the Marshmallow Filling:
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the marshmallows in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds, or until soft and slightly puffed. Stir to make them gooey, and then add the marshmallow fluff, mixing until smooth. - Assemble the S’mores Sushi: Lay out a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of the graham cracker mixture onto the sheet, pressing it gently to form a thin, even layer. Leave a small border at the edges.
- Spread the Marshmallow and Chocolate:
On top of the graham cracker layer, spread a thin layer of the marshmallow fluff mixture, then drizzle a little chocolate hazelnut spread or Nutella over it. You can also sprinkle some mini chocolate chips on top for extra texture and flavor. - Roll the Sushi:
Starting from one edge, carefully roll up the graham cracker mixture, marshmallow fluff, and chocolate into a tight log. Use the parchment paper or plastic wrap to help with rolling. Be careful not to roll it too tightly, as it could cause the filling to spill out. - Slice the Rolls:
Once the roll is complete, use a sharp knife to slice the sushi into bite-sized pieces. Dust the pieces lightly with powdered sugar for a finishing touch, and drizzle with chocolate syrup if desired. - Serve:
Arrange the s’mores sushi on a plate, and enjoy! These treats are best served immediately, but they can be stored in an airtight container for a day or two.
Notes
- If you prefer a crunchy texture, you can add crushed graham crackers to the filling or use them as an additional garnish.
- For a more traditional s’mores flavor, you can toast the marshmallows before adding them to the roll.
- These can be customized with different spreads like peanut butter or caramel for a unique twist!
