S’mores Bars
These S’mores Bars are everything you love about classic campfire s’mores, packed into an easy-to-make, shareable dessert! A graham cracker cookie base, gooey marshmallows, and melty chocolate!
Ingredients
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips milk or semi-sweet
- 1 heaping cup mini marshmallows
- Optional topping: 1–2 graham crackers broken into pieces
- Optional: 1 full-size Hershey bar broken into rectangles
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, making sure to leave a bit of overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
-
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
-
In a separate large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and creamy. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until smooth.
-
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a soft dough forms.
-
Press about two-thirds of the dough evenly into the bottom of your prepared pan. Sprinkle the chocolate chips and mini marshmallows over the top in an even layer.
-
Break up the remaining dough into small chunks and scatter them over the filling, letting some of the chocolate and marshmallows show through. If using, press a few broken graham cracker pieces on top for extra texture and crunch.
-
Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until the top is golden and the marshmallows look puffed and toasty. For a picture-perfect finish, gently press Hershey bar pieces into the top while the bars are still warm from the oven.
-
Let the bars cool completely in the pan. They’ll set up as they cool, making them much easier to slice cleanly into squares.
Notes
- Use parchment paper with overhang for easy removal and cleaner slicing.
- Press Hershey bar pieces in while bars are still warm—but not too hot—to keep their shape.
- Let bars cool completely before slicing—this helps them firm up and hold together.
