S’mores Bars
The gooey, chocolatey, marshmallow-packed dessert you love—now in easy, mess-free bar form!
Ingredients:
For the Graham Cracker Crust:
-
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 12 full sheets)
-
⅓ cup granulated sugar
-
½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted
-
Pinch of salt
For the Chocolate Layer:
-
2 cups chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet)
-
1 cup heavy cream (or sub half with sweetened condensed milk for extra fudginess)
For the Marshmallow Layer:
-
2 cups mini marshmallows (or 4–5 cups for a thicker layer)
-
Optional: ½ cup crushed graham crackers for topping
Instructions:
1. Make the Crust:
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.
-
Mix graham crumbs, sugar, melted butter, and salt until combined. Press firmly into the pan.
-
Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool slightly.
2. Make the Chocolate Ganache:
-
Heat cream until steaming (microwave or stovetop). Pour over chocolate chips in a bowl.
-
Let sit 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Pour over the crust.
3. Add Marshmallows:
-
Sprinkle mini marshmallows evenly over the chocolate.
-
Optional: Toast with a kitchen torch (carefully!) or broil for 30–60 seconds until golden (watch closely—they burn fast!).
4. Chill & Serve:
-
Refrigerate for 2+ hours to set. Lift out using parchment, slice, and enjoy!
Tips & Variations:
🔥 Extra Gooey: Add a layer of marshmallow fluff under the mini marshmallows.
🍫 Flavor Twists: Swirl in peanut butter, caramel, or crushed cookies with the chocolate.
🍪 No-Bake Option: Use store-bought graham crust and skip baking.
These bars taste like campfire s’mores but without the stickiness—perfect for parties! Want a gluten-free or vegan version? 😊🔥
