Print Recipe

These gooey s’mores bars feature a crunchy graham cracker crust with a soft, sticky marshmallow and chocolate topping, delivering the classic campfire treat experience without the fire.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sheets, finely crushed)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows (or large ones, chopped)
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bars

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or a sealed plastic bag and rolling pin.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand and holds together when pressed.
  4. Press the crust evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan using the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to pack it firmly.
  5. Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  6. Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the warm crust.
  7. Spread the mini marshmallows on top of the chocolate layer.
  8. Bake again for 10-12 minutes, or until marshmallows are golden brown and melty. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  9. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for about 1 hour to set.
  10. Cut into squares with a sharp knife, wiping the knife clean between cuts.

Notes

Press the crust firmly and bake before adding toppings to prevent sogginess. Use mini marshmallows for even melting or chop large marshmallows. Watch marshmallows closely during baking to avoid burning. Let bars cool completely before slicing for clean cuts. Variations include adding peanut butter, berries, vegan substitutions, or salted caramel drizzle.
