Introduction

S’more bars bring the nostalgic flavors of classic campfire treats into an easy, shareable dessert. With a buttery graham cracker crust, gooey melted marshmallows, and rich chocolate, these bars are perfect for any occasion.

The image shows a stack of four layered dessert bars, each with three distinct layers. The bottom layer is a crumbly, golden-brown crust with a coarse texture. The middle layer is a thick, smooth dark chocolate filling, rich and dense. The top layer consists of toasted marshmallows, slightly browned with a soft, fluffy texture, some puffed up more than others. The stack is placed on a white marbled surface with scattered crumbs and a few chocolate chips around it. 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

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

Tips & Variations

Use a mix of milk, dark, or white chocolate chips for a unique flavor twist.
Try adding chopped nuts like pecans or almonds to the crust for extra texture.
For a fun twist, swap mini marshmallows for large ones and toast them with a kitchen torch after baking.

Storage

Store s’more bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To enjoy, let them come to room temperature or warm briefly in the microwave for a gooey treat.

How to Serve

The image shows several square pieces of s'mores bars arranged on a white marbled surface. Each bar has three visible layers: the bottom layer is a light golden-brown crumbly crust, the middle layer is a rich, dark brown chocolate filling, and the top layer consists of small, evenly browned marshmallows, toasted to a light golden color with some spots slightly darker. Scattered chocolate chips and a few loose white marshmallows surround the bars, adding texture and contrast. The bars are cut cleanly with sharp edges, and crumbs are scattered around, giving a homemade feel. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular marshmallows instead of mini marshmallows?

Yes, you can substitute regular marshmallows by cutting them into smaller pieces to ensure even melting and browning.

Do I have to refrigerate the bars before cutting?

Refrigerating helps the chocolate set properly, making the bars easier to cut and serve, but if you prefer a gooier texture, you can cut them while still at room temperature.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup Melted butter

Topping

4 cups Chocolate chips
1 package Mini marshmallows

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the crust and melting the toppings.
Prepare Pan: Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan thoroughly with cooking spray to prevent sticking and make it easier to remove the bars later.
Make Crust Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the mixture holds together like wet sand.
Form the Crust: Spread the graham cracker mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan, pressing firmly to cover the bottom and slightly up the sides, creating a solid base.
Bake Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8 minutes to set and slightly toast the crust.
Add Toppings: Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the hot crust, followed by an even layer of mini marshmallows on top.
Bake Bars: Return the pan to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and toasted.
Cool and Chill: Allow the bars to cool at room temperature, then place in the refrigerator to chill and set for at least 30 minutes before cutting.
Serve: Once chilled, cut into bars and enjoy the melty, gooey goodness of classic s’mores in bar form.

Notes

Pressing the crust firmly helps it hold together when serving.
Use full-sized marshmallows cut into smaller pieces if mini marshmallows are unavailable.
Store leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking.
