I like to call these rainy day s'mores for when there's no campfire or I want to plan ahead with a campfire-style dessert that everyone will like. And it hurts me to say this because I love camping but these s'more bars taste better than campfire s'mores.

Recipe Ingredients

Sometimes it's as easy as four ingredients to reach the sublime, so here they are, but remember the full recipe ingredients are included in the recipe card at the bottom of this blog post.

• GRAHAM CRACKERS - These are the base of the recipe, combined with butter they balance out the sweetness of the chocolate chips and the marshmallows.
• CHOCOLATE CHIPS - These are the sweet and creamy center of the bar that we all crave.
• MARSHMALLOWS - These add a sweet, toasted vanilla flavor and lovely texture when toasted just right.
• BUTTER - Because as I said in the intro, butter makes everything better.

How to make S'more bars

Here’s an overview of how to make the recipe with the full instructions in the recipe card at the bottom of this blog post.

4. PLACE THE BASE - Sprinkle into the baking dish and press firmly on the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
5. BAKE THE BASE - Bake the base for 8 minutes.

How to store

• REFRIGERATE - Your made-from-home s'more bars will keep well refrigerated in a ziploc bag or airtight container.
• FREEZE - These actually freeze very well, I've been sneaking one every other day from their ziploc bag in the freezer. I love the hard crunchy texture when they're cold.

Recipe Tips

As simple as they seem there are a few tips to ensure a top-notch result, not to mention a smooth prepping and baking experience.

• PAN SIZE - A pan smaller than 13x9 is okay. If all you have is a larger pan, consider adding ½ cup more graham crackers to the crust so you can cover the base. Add more chocolate and marshmallows accordingly.
• CRUST THICKNESS - I like a thin crust but feel free to add ½ cup of graham crackers to stack the base a little higher.
• SPREAD CRUST EVENLY - For the crust base, spread it, then press it. Don't start pressing the crust until it's spread out evenly. This will save you time. It's useful to use a rubber spatula, a spoon or lightly floured palms.
• MARSHMALLOW TOP - Keep a tightly packed single layer of small marshmallows on the top. Too thick of a layer will result in an unbalanced gooey mess, unless that's what you're looking for.
• LESS SUGAR? - Reduce sugar content by using dark chocolate chips or crushed 70%-90% Cacao chocolate bars.
• GLUTEN FREE? - It's fairly easy to find gluten-free graham cracker crumbs. We use the Kinnikinnick brand.

This is one of my favorite easy-to-make desserts because of how good it tastes, how inexpensive and simple the ingredients are, and how fun it is to make.
