Food & Cooking Recipes Dessert & Treats Recipes Cookie Recipes S'mores Bars These chewy bars are a fun twist on the campfire classic. Prep Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 5 mins Total Time: 20 mins Servings: 12 Jump to recipe Our recipe for s’mores bars is a toasty take on classic puffed-rice-cereal bars. From the broiled marshmallows and graham crackers to the chopped chocolate that’s both stirred in and scattered on top, these treats have all the flavors of s’mores, no campfire required. It's important to preheat the broiler until it's nice and hot before adding the marshmallows—this will ensure they become deeply browned without turning to soup (that part will happen later in a saucepan). A pinch of salt helps to offset some of the sweetness, and crushed graham crackers add some welcome crunch. Cut them simply into bars or use cookie cutters to form your favorite shapes before sharing these with friends and family. They’re a perfect reminder of the sweetness of summer, any time of year. Sarah Carey's Favorite Summer Desserts for Potlucks and Parties Tips for Making S'mores Bars Prep all ingredients: Once the butter is melting in the pan, this recipe will move quite quickly, so it's important to have all your ingredients prepped and ready to go, from the crumbled graham crackers to the chopped chocolate. Watch your broiler: It'll only take one to two minutes for the marshmallows to go from white to dark brown. Keep a close eye on them so you can pull them at the stage you're happy with. (We prefer them verging on burnt as the bitterness offsets the sweetness of the other ingredients, but you can certainly remove them when they're less well done.) Line and butter your pan: For easy removal, it's essential to thoroughly grease your baking dish. We recommend buttering the bottom and sides, then lining it with parchment paper and buttering the parchment. It may seem excessive, but when you're working with an ingredient as sticky as melted marshmallows, it's best to cover all your bases. The type of chocolate you use will affect the overall sweetness and flavor of these bars. Use milk chocolate for a true s'mores flavor or semisweet for a bit more depth. Credit: Kana Okada Directions Prepare pans; broil marshmallows: Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Line with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides; butter parchment. Preheat broiler. Butter a rimmed baking sheet; arrange marshmallows on it in an even layer. Broil until blackened in places, 1 to 2 minutes. Make s'mores mixture: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add marshmallows; stir until melted. Stir in cereal, graham crackers, and salt. Remove from heat; let cool 1 minute. Stir in half of chocolate. Press into pan and let cool; cut into shapes: Press mixture into prepared dish; press remaining chocolate into top. Let cool completely. Lift out of pan using parchment; cut into shapes with a sharp knife or cookie cutter. Storage S'mores bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. They can also be wrapped well and stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to three months.
