Introduction

S’more bars bring the classic campfire treat indoors with a convenient, easy-to-make dessert. Combining a buttery graham cracker crust, melted chocolate, and toasted marshmallows, these bars are perfect for any occasion. They are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth with minimal effort.

A stack of four square dessert bars is shown on a white marbled texture, each bar made of three layers. The bottom layer is a crumbly, golden-brown crust with a rough texture. The middle layer is thick and dark brown, rich chocolate with a slightly glossy surface and chunks visible inside. The top layer consists of toasted marshmallows, light golden on top with soft, slightly melted white parts beneath, giving a fluffy and puffy appearance. Some crumbs and chocolate chips are scattered around the stack, adding extra detail. 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 and melted butter until well combined.
Step 4: Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan, creating an even crust.
Step 5: Bake the crust for 8 minutes to set it.
Step 6: Remove the pan from the oven and evenly sprinkle the chocolate chips over the crust, followed by a layer of mini marshmallows.
Step 7: Return the pan to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the marshmallows turn golden brown and toasted.
Step 8: Allow the bars to cool, then place the pan in the refrigerator to chill and firm up.
Step 9: Once chilled, cut into bars and serve.

Tips & Variations

For a richer flavor, try using a mix of semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips.
Adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top can balance the sweetness and add a gourmet touch.
To make these bars gluten-free, substitute the graham cracker crumbs with a gluten-free cracker or cookie crumb.
Use jumbo marshmallows halved for a gooey texture and dramatic look.

Storage

Store s’more bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat briefly in the microwave if you prefer the marshmallows soft and melted again. For longer storage, you can freeze them wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and foil for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.

How to Serve

The image shows several square pieces of dessert arranged closely on a white marbled surface. Each piece has three clear layers: a thick, crumbly light brown base; a middle white layer of fluffy or creamy texture; and a top layer covered with golden-brown toasted marshmallows. Scattered on the top are small chunks of dark chocolate, adding contrasting color and texture to the marshmallows. The pieces are evenly cut and the golden top layer looks slightly puffed and shiny. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use a different pan size?

Yes, but baking times may vary slightly. A 9×13-inch pan is ideal for even layers and cooking, but if you use a different size, watch the bars closely to avoid burning.

What if I don’t have graham crackers?

You can substitute graham cracker crumbs with digestive biscuits or any sweet, crunchy cookies you like. Just crush them finely for the crust.

Instructions

Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking the crust and topping.
Prepare pan: Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan thoroughly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Make crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and slightly clumped.

Cool and chill: Remove the bars from the oven and allow them to cool completely. Then place the pan in the refrigerator to chill for easier cutting.

Notes

For extra texture, try mixing some chopped nuts into the crust.
You can use dark, milk, or semi-sweet chocolate chips depending on your preference.
Chilling the bars before cutting helps keep them intact without melting or sticking.
If you want a softer marshmallow topping, reduce baking time slightly.
