What You’ll Need: S’mores Sushi Ingredients

Here are the simple ingredients I use for this incredible s’mores sushi recipe. I’ve added a few notes to help you pick the best ones!

• 1/4 cup butter: I find unsalted butter works best, but salted is fine too if that’s what you have on hand. It adds a richness to the base.
• 10 oz. mini marshmallows: Fresh marshmallows melt much more smoothly. Look for soft, pliable ones for the best results in your cereal base.
• 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal: This classic cereal gives us that perfect crispy texture. Make sure it’s fresh for maximum crunch!
• 2 cups marshmallow Fluff: This is my secret weapon for the gooey layer. It’s super easy to spread and adds an extra layer of marshmallow goodness.
• 1 cup crushed graham crackers: I love using classic honey graham crackers for their authentic flavor. You can crush them yourself or buy pre-crushed.
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted (plus more for serving): I recommend a good quality brand for a smooth, rich melt. Don’t skimp on this part, it makes a difference!

Step-by-Step: Crafting Your S’mores Sushi

I’m going to guide you through each step to make sure your s’mores sushi recipe turns out perfectly. Don’t worry, it’s really quite simple!

Prepare the Base

This is where our crispy foundation comes to life.

1. Line a baking sheet with wax paper and grease with cooking spray. I like to make sure the wax paper extends a little over the edges; it helps with rolling later!
2. In a pot over low heat, melt the butter. Add mini marshmallows and stir until melted. Keep the heat low and stir constantly to prevent the marshmallows from burning.
3. Remove from heat and stir in Rice Krispies cereal until well coated. Work quickly here, as the marshmallow mixture can start to set.

Add Toppings

Now for all the delicious s’mores layers!

1. Spread marshmallow Fluff over the cereal base. I find it easiest to use an offset spatula for this, and you can lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. Sprinkle crushed graham crackers over the Fluff, pressing them slightly. Don’t be afraid to gently press them down so they adhere to the marshmallow layer.
3. Pour melted chocolate over the graham crackers, smoothing with a spatula. For a super smooth layer, make sure your chocolate is fully melted and warm.

Roll and Chill

This is where the “sushi” magic happens!

1. Cut the layered sheet in half lengthwise. I use a sharp knife for a clean cut down the middle.
2. Roll up each half from the long side, like sushi rolls. The wax paper will help you roll it tightly. I encourage you to roll it as snugly as you can.

Serve

The moment we’ve all been waiting for: enjoying your creation!

1. Slice into sushi roll pieces. For the cleanest cuts, I recommend wiping your knife with a warm, damp cloth between each slice.
2. Serve with additional melted chocolate for dipping. A small bowl of extra melted chocolate on the side makes for a lovely presentation and allows for even more chocolatey goodness.

Pro Tips for Perfect S’mores Sushi Rolls

I want your s’mores sushi to be absolutely perfect, so here are a few extra tips I’ve picked up along the way!

• Preventing Stickiness: When pressing the cereal mixture or spreading the fluff, lightly grease your hands or spatula with cooking spray. This makes everything much easier to handle.
• Clean Slices Every Time: For those beautiful, neat sushi rolls, make sure your creation is thoroughly chilled. Before slicing, run your sharp knife under hot water and wipe it clean; this helps prevent sticking and gives you crisp edges.
• Troubleshooting Texture: If your cereal mixture feels too hard to press, it might have cooled too much. A quick 10-second zap in the microwave can sometimes soften it slightly. If it’s too soft, let it cool a little longer.
• Smooth Chocolate Layer: Ensure your chocolate is fully melted and completely smooth before pouring. If it’s too thick, you can add a tiny bit of coconut oil or vegetable oil (1/2 teaspoon) to thin it out for easier spreading.

Make-Ahead & Storage Instructions for S’mores Sushi

One of the best things about this s’mores sushi recipe is how well it holds up, making it perfect for preparing in advance!

I typically store my s’mores sushi in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If refrigerating, let it come to room temperature for about 15-20 minutes before serving for the best texture.

For longer storage, you can freeze individual slices in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 1 month. Just thaw them at room temperature for about an hour before enjoying! Always ensure they are in an airtight container to keep them fresh and prevent any sticking.

Creative Ways to Serve Your S’mores Sushi

Serving these delightful rolls is almost as fun as making them! I always think about how to make them look extra special, especially for gatherings.

Try arranging your s’mores sushi pieces artfully on a large platter. You can place them around small bowls of extra melted chocolate, warm caramel sauce, or even a raspberry coulis for dipping. I sometimes serve them alongside a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream; the contrast is just wonderful! For a festive touch, sprinkle a few mini chocolate chips or a dusting of cocoa powder over the platter. They also make a fantastic addition to a larger dessert board, sitting proudly amongst cookies, fruit, and other sweet treats.
