Love that idea — s’mores bars are basically the best of campfire vibes, but easier to make indoors. Here’s a simple, tasty s’mores bar recipe you can whip up:
S’mores Bars Recipe
Ingredients:
-
1 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 8 full sheets crushed)
-
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
-
1/4 cup granulated sugar
-
2 cups mini marshmallows (or regular marshmallows cut into smaller pieces)
-
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
-
Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts (like pecans or walnuts) or extra graham cracker chunks for crunch
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
-
Mix the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until evenly moistened.
-
Press crust into pan: Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a solid base.
-
Bake crust: Bake the crust for about 8-10 minutes, until it just starts to brown.
-
Add toppings: Remove the crust from the oven. Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the warm crust, then immediately add the mini marshmallows on top.
-
Bake again: Return to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden and puffed.
-
Cool and set: Remove from oven and let cool completely (about 30 minutes) to let the bars set. For firmer bars, pop them in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
-
Cut and serve: Lift bars from pan using the parchment paper and cut into squares.
Pro tip: For a gooey center, add a thin layer of chocolate spread or Nutella on the crust before adding chocolate chips and marshmallows!
