S’more Bars

Introduction

S’more Bars are the ultimate answer to enjoying the nostalgic campfire classic without leaving your kitchen. With gooey layers of marshmallow and chocolate nestled between golden, graham-inspired cookie bars, each square delivers that irresistible, smoky-sweet combination in a fuss-free, crowd-pleasing dessert. Perfect for parties, family nights, or whenever you’re craving a touch of fireside fun—all you need is your oven!

Why These S’more Bars Are a Hit

What makes these S’more Bars truly special is how they capture every element people love about s’mores—crunchy, melty, and marshmallowy flavors—but in a portable, easy-to-share bar form. You won’t need a fire or skewers, and these bars pack and stack beautifully for picnics, potlucks, or bake sales.

The Art of the Gooey Marshmallow Layer

For the ultimate gooey factor, use classic mini marshmallows or marshmallow creme. Adding them right after baking the chocolate layer ensures a perfectly melted, sticky-sweet center. Don’t forget to let the bars cool a little before cutting—this keeps those clean, delicious layers intact with every slice.

Easy S’more Bar Assembly

Creating S’more Bars is all about smart layering. Start with a graham cracker-infused base, add rich chocolate and marshmallows, and finish with another sprinkle of graham mixture or chocolate chips. Baking gently melds these flavors for a bar that’s easy to cut and impossible to resist.

Serving Suggestions for Show-Stopping S’more Bars

Serve your S’more Bars slightly warm for maximum ooze, or chilled for neater squares—either way, try adding a drizzle of chocolate or caramel for a bakery-style touch. For parties, top each bar with a mini marshmallow and torch lightly for a toasted look. Enjoy alone, or pair with a cold glass of milk!

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a little overhang for easy removal.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add in the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Divide dough in half.
5. Press half of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the base.
6. Lay the milk chocolate bars or sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the dough base.
7. Scatter mini marshmallows or spread the marshmallow creme evenly over chocolate.
8. With the remaining dough, drop small spoonfuls on top, then gently press to spread and cover as best as possible (it’s okay if some marshmallow peeks through).
9. Optional: Sprinkle a handful of extra chocolate chips on top.
10. Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and the marshmallows are puffed and just starting to brown.
11. Cool for at least 30 minutes in the pan before lifting out and slicing into bars.
