I love whipping up these S’mores Bars because they’re super easy and almost too delicious for a simple dessert treat. I start by mixing 2 cups of graham cracker crumbs with 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter and 1/4 cup granulated sugar which gives it a perfect crunchy and buttery base.

Then I layer on 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 2 cups of mini marshmallows that melt into gooey pockets of chocolatey bliss as they bake. Sometimes I add a pinch of salt just to accentuate the flavors and make it even more interesting.

I’ve always been a fan of a good S’more Brownies recipe and this version is no exception its a fun twist on a classic treat that brings a little extra excitement to any dessert spread. Trust me, once you try these easy S’mores Bars you’ll be hooked and want to make them again and again.

A: Yeah sure, you can swap the semi-sweet chocolate chips for milk or dark chocolate if you prefer a different flavor. Just keep the amount the same.

Q: What if i dont have graham crackers?

A: You can use digestive biscuits or even vanilla wafers crushed up. They work pretty good as a base.

Q: How long do these s'mores bars last?

A: Stored in an airtight container they should stay fresh for about 4 to 5 days at room temp. If you wanna keep em longer, freeze them.

S’mores Bars Recipe Substitutions and Variations

Graham cracker crumbs: You could crush digestive biscuits or vanilla wafers instead
Unsalted butter: Try using coconut oil or salted butter (just cut back on the extra salt)
Granulated sugar: Brown sugar is a good swap, or you could use a little bit of honey if you’re feeling adventurous
Semi-sweet chocolate chips: Milk chocolate chips or even a chopped up chocolate bar works fine
Mini marshmallows: You can use regular sized marshmallows cut into pieces if mini ones are hard to find

Pro Tips

1. Make sure u press the graham cracker mix down really firm; a compact base helps the bars hold together better.
2. When u spread out the chocolate chips, try to cover every spot evenly so every bite gets a good melty mix.
3. Keep an eye on the oven in the last few minutes because the marshmallows can quickly go from golden to burnt.
4. Let the bars cool for a bit longer than you might think; if u cut them too soon, the melted chocolate won’t set right and they’ll be a mess.
