Easy Homemade S’more Bars Recipe for Sweet Treats

Introduction

S’more bars are an easy and delicious twist on the classic campfire treat. These bars combine a buttery graham cracker crust with gooey melted marshmallows and rich chocolate chips for a delightful dessert that’s perfect for any occasion.

The image shows a stack of four layered dessert bars sitting on a white marbled surface. Each bar has three visible layers: the bottom layer is a crumbly golden-brown crust, the middle layer is thick, dark chocolate with a slightly rough texture, and the top layer is a toasted marshmallow topping with a light golden brown color and puffed, soft texture. Small crumbs and a few chocolate chips are scattered around the base of the bars. The stack is tall, showing the uneven edges of each layer clearly. 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

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Step 2: Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Step 3: In a bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined.
  4. Step 4: Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared baking pan to form an even crust.
  5. Step 5: Bake the crust for 8 minutes, then remove it from the oven.
  6. Step 6: Immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the hot crust, then top with the mini marshmallows.
  7. Step 7: Return the pan to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and toasted.
  8. Step 8: Allow the bars to cool completely, then place them in the fridge to set.
  9. Step 9: Once chilled and firm, cut into squares and serve.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the chocolate chips before baking to balance the sweetness.
  • Use a mix of milk and dark chocolate chips for a richer taste.
  • Try adding chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans into the crust mixture for added crunch.
  • If you prefer less mess, use jumbo marshmallows cut in half instead of mini marshmallows.

Storage

Store leftover s’more bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat briefly in the microwave if you prefer them warm, but they are also delicious served cold.

How to Serve

The bottom layer is a golden brown crumbly crust, the middle layer is a smooth and rich dark chocolate filling, and the top layer is a grid of toasted marshmallows that have a light golden brown color with some spots darker from toasting. Scattered around the bars are a few loose mini marshmallows and dark chocolate chips. The image is bright and clear, showing the soft texture of the marshmallows contrasted with the firm chocolate and crust. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make s’more bars without a 9×13 pan?

Yes, you can use a slightly smaller or larger pan, but baking times may vary slightly. Just keep an eye on the marshmallows and crust to avoid over or under-cooking.

Can I use regular marshmallows instead of mini ones?

Absolutely. Just chop regular marshmallows into smaller pieces or use them whole; they will melt and toast similarly during baking.
