These s'more bars (no fire required!) have a graham cracker crust, which is topped with a layer of milk chocolate, and topped with mini marshmallows. The heat of the blind-baked crust turns the chocolate all melty and I then topped the bars with mini marshmallows and finished them on broil to puff the marshmallows and turn them golden brown. It's simple. It's satisfying.
For the graham cracker layer, feel free to use either store-bought or homemade graham crackers.

📖 Recipe
S'more bars
Servings 9 bars
Calories 251kcal
Ingredients
- 125 grams (1½ cups) graham cracker crumbs, or the same weight of homemade graham crackers which you can ground to crumbs
- 70 grams (⅓ cup) unsalted butter, melted
- 0.625 mL (⅛ teaspoon) Diamond Crystal fine kosher salt, or more for a saltier crust
- 180 grams (⅓ lb) Hershey’s milk chocolate bars, broken into little rectangles
- 100 grams (¼ lb) mini marshmallows, this works out to 150–200 of them
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Grease the sides of an 8×8-inch square pan. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the crumbs and melted butter until the crumbs are all evenly moistened. Spread them in the prepared pan and press to create an even base.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and immediately top with a single layer of chocolate. Let stand for 3 minutes then spread the chocolate with a fork.
- Preheat the oven to broil. Top the bars with a layer of mini marshmallows and brown them in the oven on the top rack for a minute or two (keep your eye on them to avoid them catching fire!).
- Let the bars cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.

I'm making these right now (graham cracker crust is in the oven as I type) for a baby shower at work tomorrow! I'll let you know how they're received .. get it?!? Received?! Haha.

The baby shower is now over and they were AMAZING! I made two batches, AND cut them small, and they disappeared so quickly! I will say that I refrigerated them overnight and cut them this morning; the crust was pretty crumbly but I'm sure I didn't measure the butter correctly. Fantastic recipe!

Hi Christine! So happy you enjoyed the s'more bars! About the crust, I find with graham cracker crusts, the trick is to very firmly pack the crumbs into the pan (even using another square pan to press it into place, otherwise they do crumble a bit (especially the corners). That being said, if you found the initial crumb mixture too crumbly, perhaps just an extra tablespoon could have fixed it. Some people even add in a little cream or even just water to adjust the consistency. Hope that helps!

I have a slightly different recipe for smores bars that I make and they are sooo good. Nothing I make disappears as fast as those do. Something about a childhood reminder methinks!
The future will happen - it has a way of doing that 😉 You can worry about it a lot or like you said, you can just get on with living in the present. I believe things happen for a reason and everything that happens to you in the present is just like those lights on a runway - they guide you in to the place you're supposed to be 🙂

I have never thought about making smores as a baked bar before. Love the idea and looking forward to trying it out.
