Why You Will Love This Recipe

Super Easy S’mores Bars are rich, chewy, and packed with the nostalgic flavors of classic s’mores. The buttery graham cracker crust creates the perfect base, while the melted chocolate and toasted marshmallows make every bite irresistibly gooey.

This recipe is beginner friendly and requires only a few simple ingredients. Since everything is baked in one pan, it is much easier than making individual campfire s’mores. These bars are also perfect for transporting to parties, school events, picnics, and potlucks.

Step By Step Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9 by 13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the graham cracker crumbs, flour, baking powder, and salt.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.

Press about two thirds of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.

Sprinkle the chocolate chips and broken chocolate bar pieces evenly over the dough.

Spread the mini marshmallows evenly over the chocolate layer.

Crumble the remaining dough over the marshmallows, leaving small gaps for the marshmallows to peek through.

Sprinkle extra graham cracker crumbs over the top if desired.

Bake for 28 to 30 minutes until the top is lightly golden and the marshmallows are toasted.

Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing into squares.

Serve and enjoy.

Variations To Try

Use dark chocolate or white chocolate instead of milk chocolate for a different flavor. Add peanut butter chips or caramel chips for extra richness. Mix chopped pecans or walnuts into the dough for added crunch. Sprinkle mini chocolate candies over the top after baking for a colorful dessert. Drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled bars for an elegant finish.

Freezing Or Restoring

Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days or refrigerate them for up to one week.

Freeze individual bars in freezer safe containers for up to three months. Thaw at room temperature before serving or warm slightly in the microwave for an extra gooey texture.

Recipe Notes

Do not overbake the bars because the marshmallows will continue to set as they cool. Line the baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal. Use high quality chocolate for the richest flavor. Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing for neat, clean squares. Store between sheets of parchment paper to prevent sticking.
