Smores Bars (Printable Version)

Classic campfire flavors transformed into gooey dessert bars with graham cracker crust, melted chocolate, and toasted marshmallow topping.

# What You'll Need:

→ Crust

01 - 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
02 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
03 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar

→ Chocolate Layer

04 - 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

→ Marshmallow Layer

05 - 3 cups mini marshmallows

# How to Prepare:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
02 - In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until evenly moistened.
03 - Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form an even layer.
04 - Bake the crust for 8 minutes. Remove from oven.
05 - Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the warm crust. Return to oven for 2 minutes until chocolate begins to melt.
06 - Spread the softened chocolate evenly with a spatula.
07 - Top with mini marshmallows, pressing them gently into the chocolate layer.
08 - Bake for an additional 10–12 minutes, or until marshmallows are golden and toasted.
09 - Cool bars completely in the pan. For clean cuts, chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour before slicing.
10 - Lift out using parchment paper, slice into bars, and serve.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • No campfire required for that perfect toasted marshmallow flavor
  • The chocolate layer stays gooey for days thanks to the graham cracker seal
02 -
  • Letting the crust cool slightly before adding chocolate prevents the chips from melting too fast and sinking through
  • The refrigerator chilling step is non-negotiable if you want clean squares instead of messy piles
03 -
  • Watch the marshmallows like a hawk during those last two minutes because they go from golden to burned in seconds
  • Press the marshmallows into the warm chocolate so they anchor properly and don't slide off when you cut them
