Introduction

These S’more Bars are a deliciously easy twist on the classic campfire treat. Crispy graham cracker crust layered with melted chocolate and gooey toasted marshmallows make for a perfect dessert everyone will love.

A stack of four square dessert bars is shown, each bar having three distinct layers: a bottom crumbly golden-brown crust, a thick, rich dark brown chocolate layer in the middle, and a top layer of lightly toasted, fluffy white marshmallows with some golden spots. The bars are placed on a white marbled surface with some crumbs and two chocolate chips scattered around. The texture of the chocolate layer looks smooth but solid, while the marshmallows appear soft and slightly puffed up. The bars are stacked unevenly, creating a sense of height and depth. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 4 cups chocolate chips
  • 1 package mini marshmallows

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Step 2: Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Step 3: In a bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined.
  4. Step 4: Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan to form a crust.
  5. Step 5: Bake the crust for 8 minutes to set it.
  6. Step 6: Remove the pan from the oven and evenly sprinkle the chocolate chips over the crust, then add the mini marshmallows on top.
  7. Step 7: Return the pan to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the marshmallows turn golden brown.
  8. Step 8: Allow the bars to cool completely, then place the pan in the fridge to chill and firm up.
  9. Step 9: Once chilled, cut into bars and serve.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra gooey bars, use a mix of milk and dark chocolate chips.
  • Try adding chopped nuts like pecans or almonds to the crust for added crunch.
  • If you prefer a softer crust, reduce baking time by a few minutes.
  • Use jumbo marshmallows for a more dramatic toasted top.

Storage

Store leftover s’more bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat briefly in the microwave if you prefer them warm and gooey again.

How to Serve

Several square marshmallow-topped treats are arranged on a white marbled surface, each with a golden-brown toasted marshmallow layer on top. Beneath the marshmallows is a dark chocolate layer with a slightly rough texture, sitting on a crumbly golden crust that forms the base. The marshmallows are neatly placed in rows, slightly puffed with a toasted color gradient from white to light brown. Scattered chocolate chips and a few white marshmallows are around the squares, adding contrast to the scene. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use different types of chocolate for the bars?

Yes, you can substitute chocolate chips with white chocolate, peanut butter chips, or a mix for different flavors.

Do I need to refrigerate s’more bars?

Chilling helps the bars set and makes cutting easier, but they can also be stored at room temperature for a day if consuming quickly.
