Smores Bars (Printable Version)

Nostalgic campfire flavors in gooey bars with graham cracker crust, melted chocolate, and toasted marshmallows.

# What You'll Need:

→ Crust

01 - 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
02 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
03 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar

→ Chocolate Layer

04 - 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

→ Marshmallow Layer

05 - 3 cups mini marshmallows

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing overhang on sides for easy removal.
02 - Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a medium bowl. Mix until evenly moistened and all crumbs are coated.
03 - Press mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan, creating an even layer. Bake for 8 minutes, then remove from oven.
04 - Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the warm crust. Return to oven for 2 minutes until chocolate begins to soften and melt.
05 - Remove from oven and spread softened chocolate evenly across the crust using a spatula.
06 - Distribute mini marshmallows over the chocolate layer, pressing gently to adhere to the chocolate.
07 - Bake for 10-12 minutes until marshmallows are puffed and golden brown on top.
08 - Cool completely in the pan. For clean cuts, refrigerate for 1 hour before slicing. Lift out using parchment paper and cut into bars.
