These Ultimate Gooey S’mores Bars capture the nostalgic campfire s’mores flavor with a crunchy graham cracker crust, melty chocolate layer, and toasted marshmallows, perfect for an easy homemade treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, letting the edges hang over for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment to prevent sliding.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Pour in melted butter and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is evenly moistened and crumbly but holds together when pressed. Add more melted butter if too dry.
  3. Press the crust firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to create an even layer. Use the flat bottom of a glass or measuring cup for smooth compaction. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden and fragrant but not burnt.
  4. While the crust bakes, melt the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth, or melt over a double boiler.
  5. Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the warm crust as soon as it’s out of the oven. Work quickly but gently to avoid breaking the crust.
  6. Sprinkle mini marshmallows evenly over the chocolate layer, covering the surface.
  7. Place the pan under the broiler on high for 1-2 minutes with the oven door slightly ajar. Watch carefully and remove when marshmallows are puffed and golden brown. Alternatively, bake at 350°F for 5-7 minutes for softer marshmallows.
  8. Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. Use parchment edges to lift the slab out and cut into squares. For neater slices, chill in the fridge for 15 minutes before cutting.

Notes

Do not skip parchment paper for easy removal. Press crust firmly to avoid crumbling. Melt chocolate gently to prevent scorching. Watch marshmallows closely under broiler to avoid burning. Cool bars completely before slicing to prevent mess.
