Ingredients
Marshmallow Mixture
- 10 oz miniature marshmallows
- 1/4 cup Challenge butter (plus extra for greasing)
Dry Ingredients
- 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
Toppings and Fillings
- 7 oz jar marshmallow creme
- 6 Hershey’s chocolate bars (1.55 oz each)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 10×15 inch jellyroll pan with waxed paper and butter the paper thoroughly to prevent sticking. Set aside.
- Melt Marshmallows and Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the miniature marshmallows with 1/4 cup of butter. Cover the bowl and microwave on high for 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat microwaving and stirring in 30-second intervals until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
- Mix in Dry Ingredients: Immediately stir in the Rice Krispies cereal and graham cracker crumbs to the melted marshmallow mixture until everything is evenly coated and well blended.
- Press Mixture into Pan: Transfer the treat mixture into the prepared jellyroll pan. Use a buttered spatula or your hands (buttered) to press it firmly and evenly into the pan.
- Spread Marshmallow Creme: Using an offset spatula, spread the marshmallow creme evenly over the top of the pressed cereal mixture to create a smooth layer.
- Add Chocolate: Arrange the Hershey’s chocolate bars directly on top of the marshmallow creme layer.
- Soften Chocolate in Oven: Place the pan in the preheated oven for about 2 minutes to soften the chocolate bars. Once softened, use a spatula to spread the chocolate evenly over the marshmallow creme layer.
- Cool and Roll: Allow the mixture to cool for 10 minutes to set slightly. Then, starting at the long edge, carefully roll the mixture jellyroll-style, peeling away the waxed paper as you go. Pinch the seam to seal the roll.
- Chill Before Serving: Place the pinwheel seam side down in the pan and refrigerate for 30 to 45 minutes or until the chocolate has completely set.
- Slice and Serve: Once firm, slice the roll into pinwheel pieces and serve immediately for a fun s’mores-inspired treat.
Notes
- Butter the waxed paper well to avoid sticking when rolling the treats.
- Use an offset spatula for easier spreading of marshmallow creme and softened chocolate.
- Ensure the marshmallows and butter mixture is fully melted to prevent lumps in the treats.
- Refrigeration helps the pinwheels maintain their shape and makes slicing easier.
- Store leftover pinwheels in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerated for up to 3 days.
