S’MORES BARS INGREDIENTS

You will need:

• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 8 – 12 tablespoons butter, melted
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 4 Hershey’s Chocolate Bars (4.4-ounce bars)
• 1 package mini marshmallows (10 ounces)

SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS

CHOCOLATE: While we love the creaminess of the Hershey bars, any brand of chocolate will do. You could also add a layer of chocolate chips on top. Try semi-sweet chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips for extra chocolate goodness.

MARSHMALLOWS: If you don’t have mini marshmallows, you could top your bars with regular marshmallows that have been cut in half.

HOW TO MAKE THIS S’MORES BARS RECIPE

STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease 9 x 13-inch pan with non-stick butter spray.

STEP TWO: In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar and butter with a spoon.

PRO TIP: If your wafers do not come pre-crushed, either place them in a Ziploc bag and use a rolling pin to crush them quickly and mess-free, or use a food processor to turn them into crumbs.

PRO TIP: When adding the melted butter to the crust, slowly add it a little bit at a time to prevent it from pooling. If you find that your mixture is too wet with too much butter (each brand of graham crackers will absorb the butter slightly differently), add a few extra graham cracker crumbs and powdered sugar to get the right consistency. The mixture should be moist, but not wet and should stick together as you press it into your pan.

STEP THREE: Place mixture in the bottom of the baking pan. Distribute the mixture evenly across the whole pan and press down and firmly with your fingers to “pack it” along the bottom and sides of the pan.

STEP FOUR: Place the pan in the oven and bake for approximately 5-8 minutes, until the sides begin to bake to golden brown. Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool.

STEP FIVE: Lay the Hershey’s bars on top of the graham cracker mixture, covering all of the graham crackers as much as possible.

PRO TIP: When creating layers: try to have each layer (chocolate bars and marshmallows) as flat as possible. It’s OK if the layers aren’t perfect, but keeping them flat and even will help create bars that bake evenly.

STEP SIX: Place the pan back in the oven for approximately 3 minutes, until the chocolate just begins to melt and gets shiny.

STEP SEVEN: Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool for 1 – 2 minutes. Place marshmallows on top of the chocolate, packing them in closely next to each other.

STEP EIGHT: Turn your oven to broil, put the pan in the oven, and keep a close eye on your s’mores bars! The bars should broil for about 2 minutes, or until the marshmallow top begins to brown. Be careful not to overcook the bars.

PRO TIP: Instead of using the broiler, if you have a kitchen torch, you could lightly brown the tops of the marshmallows that way instead.

STEP NINE: Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely. Cut and serve.

PRO TIP: To cut your s’mores bars, use a sharp knife and run in under hot water before cutting. This will help to cut neatly through the sticky marshmallows.

HOW TO SERVE

Serve these delicious bars while sitting around the fire pit in the summer time or inside any time of year when you want to remind your taste buds of summer. Add one of our delightfully refreshing iced tea, raspberry iced tea, sweet peach iced tea, or our southern strawberry sweet tea drinks on the side to wash it down.

STORAGE

ON THE COUNTER: You can store these delicious s’mores bars in an airtight container or wrapped in aluminum foil at room temperature for 2-3 days.

IN THE FREEZER: We do not recommend freezing this recipe as marshmallows don’t freeze very well.

Every bite of these s’mores bars is filled with gooey marshmallows, melty chocolate and crunchy graham cracker cookie crust. They’re an addicting treat that will make you feel like you’re sharing dessert around the campfire.
