Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full crackers)
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- Prepare the crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture is evenly moistened and holds together when pressed.
- Layer graham cracker crust: Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8×8-inch baking pan to form an even layer. This will be the base of your s’more bars.
- Add chocolate layer: Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the graham cracker crust, ensuring complete coverage for a rich chocolatey middle layer.
- Add marshmallow topping: Scatter the mini marshmallows evenly over the layer of chocolate chips, creating the fluffy, gooey topping that mimics traditional s’mores.
- Bake the bars: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and the chocolate has melted.
- Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cool, cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh marshmallows and good quality chocolate chips.
- You can add chopped nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt for extra flavor.
- Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- These bars are great as a quick dessert or party treat and do not require any special kitchen equipment.
