S’mores Bars
S'mores Bars pack the classic combination of graham cracker, chocolate, and marshmallow into a baked bar that's easy to slice and share. A graham cracker crumb base is topped with chocolate and a layer of marshmallows, then finished under the broiler for a toasted top. The whole batch is ready in under an hour.
Equipment
- Mixing Bowls
- 9x9 inch baking pan
- Parchment Paper
- Oven
- Spatula
Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs preferably from whole grain graham crackers
- ¼ cup granulated sugar organic if possible
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
For the Filling:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips high quality for richer flavor
- 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows for traditional s'mores experience
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this crumb mixture firmly into the prepared pan to form an even crust.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes until lightly golden and set. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the baked crust. Top with mini marshmallows, pressing them gently into the chocolate.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until the marshmallows are golden and puffed. Watch closely to avoid over-browning.
- Allow the bars to cool before using the parchment overhang to lift them from the pan. Slice into 12 bars with a sharp knife, cleaning the knife between cuts for a neat appearance.
Notes
Lori’s Tips:
- For extra crunch, add a handful of chopped nuts to the crust mixture.
- If you prefer a gooier texture, use a higher amount of marshmallows and allow them to briefly soften before slicing.
- To make these bars gluten-free, use gluten-free graham crackers.
