These are yummy!!! I had to adjust a little to ingredients on hand! I used 2 - 3oz. hersey bars from Valentines day and added about 1 cup of chocolate chips to that to melt for chocolate! I also only used graham crackers and rice krispies! I just didn't want to add in the peanuts or dried fruit. I wanted to keep them as close to s'mores as possible. I had trouble dropping them by spoonfuls so I just put in a 11x7 casserole dish like I would normal rice krispies and then put in fridge to harden. I can then cut a yummy treat when I want one. I know they will not last long! Super easy and quick to make!! Thanks!

Wow. This was so good. So good, in fact that I can't make them again :lol: unless I'm giving them away or my kids eat them all b4 I get them! I could keep eating them. I used Giardelli's bittersweet and left out the raisins. My 8 yo and 4 yo both helped. Didn't drizzle the contrasting choc. though. Yum!

These cookies were great! I made them twice in the last two days!!! I made the peanut free version and the normal version and they turned out great however both times I left out the dried fruit. I found it really hard to drop this with 2 tbsp so I would recommend either using a cookie scooper or I also ended up putting this in a 8x8 inch pan which also worked really well. All I can say is thanks for the recipe as this will help the craving of smores in the winter time!
