Steps:

• Heat the broiler to high and set the rack in the upper third of the oven. Grease a broiler-safe 8- or 9-inch square pan, then add the marshmallows. (They won't fit in an even layer, and that's OK.) Broil until deeply browned and smoking, about 1 minute. (Watch closely, as broilers vary.) Stir to expose untoasted sides and broil once again until browned and just starting to smoke. Remove from oven, leaving the broiler on.
• In a large pot, melt the 1/2 cup butter over medium-high. Stir frequently until the hissing subsides and the butter smells toasted and is speckled brown, 3 to 5 minutes. (Keep watch: This happens quickly.) Turn off the heat, then add the marshmallows (the pan may still be hot), and stir vigorously until melted. Working quickly, add the cereal and salt and stir to combine. Add the chocolate and stir to combine.
• Immediately scrape the mixture into the prepared pan and press firmly into an even layer. Broil until the top is golden and charred in spots, about 1 minute, watching closely. Let cool completely, then cut into squares or bars. Store, covered, at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Reserve 24 marshmallows for toasting.
• Combine the butter and remaining marshmallows (about 15 ounces) in a large Dutch oven and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth, 6 to 8 minutes. Use a rubber spatula to fold in both the rice and graham cracker cereals until evenly coated. While still hot, spread the mixture into the prepared baking sheet. Spray the palm of your hand or a rubber spatula with cooking spray, then pat or press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan. Let cool and set completely, about 1 hour.
• Unmold the cereal mixture onto a cutting board and cut into 16 rectangles, each 4 1/2 by 3 1/2 inches. (To make ahead, store the treats in an airtight container between parchment or wax paper up to 1 day.)
• Preheat a grill or grill pan for medium-low heat, or place a grill grate over a campfire that has died down to a low fire.
• For each s'more, place 2 cereal treats on the grill and place a halved candy bar on one of the pieces. Cook until toasty on the underside and the chocolate begins to soften, 1 to 2 minutes, depending on the heat of the fire. (Move the treats occasionally with a metal spatula or tongs so it doesn't stick.). Meanwhile, thread 3 of the reserved 24 marshmallows on each of 8 sticks or skewers (see Cook's Note). Toast over the fire or grill until charred to your liking.
• Remove the treats from the grill. Top the chocolate with the molten marshmallows (sliding them off the stick) and sandwich with the second treat.
