S’mores bars have a layer of melty chocolate and toasty marshmallow sandwiched between layers of butter graham cracker dough. These s’mores bars have all of the flavor of s’mores – no campfire necessary!
One of the best parts of summer is making s’mores. It’s hard to beat the sandy grahams stuffed with gooey marshmallow and melty chocolate.
These s’mores bars have all of the best parts of s’mores in a tasty bar. The buttery graham dough is stuffed with marshmallow creme and chocolate chips.
As they bake, the marshmallow creme toasts, and the chocolate chips melt. All of which gives you a ridiculously decadent dessert that lets you enjoy s’mores any time of year.
“These are fantastic. Absolutely in love with these.” – Kim
Ingredient notes and substitutions
- Flour: Be sure to properly measure the flour. I like to weigh the ingredients to ensure that the measurements are accurate. If using measuring cups, sift or stir the flour. Then, lightly spoon into the measuring cup and level. This will help to avoid packing in the flour. Packing in the flour will give you a dry, heavy, or doughy bars.
- Graham cracker crumbs: The crumbs need to be finely ground. You can either grind the graham cracker crumbs or buy graham cracker crumbs.
- Butter: If you’d like to use unsalted butter, increase the salt to 1/2 teaspoon.
- Marshmallow creme: Marshmallow creme is sometimes called marshmallow fluff.
- Chocolate chips: You can use bittersweet chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, semisweet chocolate chips, or milk chocolate chips depending on how sweet you’d like the chocolate to be.
How to make s’mores bars
Here you’ll find step-by-step photos showing how to make this recipe. The full recipe, including ingredients, is given below.
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on 2 sides.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until well-combined, about 2 minutes on medium.
Step 3: Beat in the eggs and vanilla until well combined.
Step 4: Stir in the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt until combined.
Step 5: Divide the dough in half.
Step 6: Press half of the dough into an even layer in the prepared pan.
Step 7: Spread the marshmallow cream over the dough and sprinkle chocolate chips on top.
Step 8: Drop pieces of the remaining dough over the top in chunks. Don’t worry about covering the top with the dough. The marshmallow and chocolate chips should show through.
Step 9: Bake until golden brown, about 30-35 minutes.
Step 10: Place the pan on a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11: Remove from the pan, and cut into bars. If the bars aren’t cutting well, chill the bars, and then cut.
Recipe Tips!
- Pan prep: Lining the pan with parchment paper allows you to easily remove the bars to cut and serve them.
- Baking: If the bars begin to brown too quickly, simply tent the pan with aluminum foil.
- Cutting the bars: The bars are delicious when warm; however, they don’t cut as well when they’re warm as they do when they’re cool.
Storage
Store any leftover s’mores bars in an airtight container at room temperature. The bars will keep for 2-3 days when properly stored.
