Why Frozen S’mores Bars Are the Ultimate Summer Treat
What sets Frozen S’mores Bars apart is their addictive combination of textures—crisp graham cracker crust, smooth chocolate pudding layer, and fluffy marshmallow filling—all served delightfully chilled. The ice-cold temperature amplifies the chocolate, while the marshmallow adds an irresistible sweetness. These bars offer all the beloved s’mores flavors, without the sticky fingers or smoky fire.
They’re ideal for prepping in advance, allowing you to serve up something impressive with minimal last-minute fuss.
Assembling the Perfect Graham Cracker Crust
Crushing your graham crackers finely is key to getting a cohesive, no-bake crust. To achieve an even crumb, use a Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender, Black, pulsing gently until you reach the right texture. After mixing with melted butter and a pinch of salt, press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a parchment-lined baking dish. Using Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll, 45 Square Feet makes removing and slicing your bars neat and easy.
Chill the crust while preparing the filling so it sets up nice and firm.
Crafting Rich Chocolate and Marshmallow Layers
For the chocolate layer, whisk together instant chocolate pudding and cold milk, then fold in whipped topping until velvety and mousse-like. Spread this gently over the crust for a thick, creamy foundation.
The marshmallow layer comes together quickly by melting marshmallows with a bit of milk in a SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch, then folding into whipped topping for a smooth, voluminous texture. For best results, allow the marshmallow mixture to cool slightly before adding the topping to keep everything fluffy.
Layering and Freezing Your S’mores Bars
Spread the chocolate filling over the chilled crust, followed by the marshmallow layer. To prevent sticking and ensure clean slicing, use the parchment paper as a sling for easy removal once your bars are fully frozen. Press an extra layer of crushed graham crackers lightly on top for crunch and classic s’mores flair.
After freezing for at least 6 hours (or overnight), use a hot knife to slice for perfectly squared bars.
Finishing & Serving Suggestions
Serve your Frozen S’mores Bars just out of the freezer for crisp, defined layers. For a decorative touch, torch the top with a kitchen torch for lightly toasted marshmallow flavor, or scatter mini chocolate chips along the top.
Take them on a picnic with a Bentgo Salad Container – 54 oz Bowl, Khaki Green to keep them perfectly chilled, or store leftovers in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 (3.2 Cup) to maintain freshness and texture.
