S'mores Bars

S'mores Bars are a decadent dessert featuring a crunchy graham cracker crust layered with gooey toasted marshmallows and melted chocolate. The bars are assembled by pressing the crust, melting marshmallows under the broiler, and pouring rich chocolate over the sticky topping, resulting in a messy yet irresistibly sweet treat with a combination of crunchy, soft, and gooey textures.

Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs finely processed or pre-made
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 4 cups large marshmallows preferably big and fluffy
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch salt

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking pan
  • food processor or rolling pin
  • Oven
  • broiler
  • Spatula
  • Mixing bowls

Method
 

  1. Combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl, stirring until the mixture is evenly coated and crumbly.
  2. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan, creating an even, compact crust. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the marshmallow layer.
  3. Spread the marshmallows evenly over the chilled crust, making sure to cover all areas for a gooey topping.
  4. Place the pan under the broiler, watching carefully as the marshmallows puff up and turn golden brown—this should take about 2-3 minutes. Remove once toasted and set aside to cool slightly.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with the vanilla extract in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy.
  6. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the toasted marshmallow layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula for a glossy, drippy finish.
  7. Allow the bars to set at room temperature for about 1 hour, or refrigerate for quicker firming. Once the chocolate is firm and the marshmallow is slightly sticky, slice into squares and serve.
