These Crispy S’mores Bars combine a crunchy graham cracker crust with gooey toasted marshmallows and melted chocolate for a nostalgic, comforting dessert perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups crushed graham crackers (about 10 full sheets, honey-flavored recommended)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips or chunks
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by smashing in a sealed bag until you have about 2 cups.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Pour in melted butter and vanilla extract. Stir until evenly moistened and resembling wet sand.
  4. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a sturdy base.
  5. Bake the crust in the oven for 10 minutes until edges turn golden. Remove and let cool slightly.
  6. Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the warm crust.
  7. Evenly distribute mini marshmallows over the chocolate layer, packing gently but not squashing.
  8. Toast the marshmallows under the preheated broiler or with a kitchen torch until golden brown and puffed, about 1-3 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  9. Cool the bars for at least 15 minutes to set.
  10. Cut into squares with a sharp knife, wiping the knife between slices for cleaner cuts.

Notes

Press the crust firmly before baking to prevent crumbling. Use the oven broiler for even marshmallow caramelization or a kitchen torch for more control. Let bars cool fully before cutting for clean slices. Warm knife under hot water and dry between cuts to avoid sticky mess. Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for longer freshness. Reheat briefly in microwave to revive gooey texture.
