Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup Melted butter
Topping
- 4 cups Chocolate chips
- 1 package Mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the bars evenly.
- Prepare Pan: Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
- Make Crust Mixture: In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter, mixing thoroughly until the crumbs are evenly coated and hold together.
- Form Crust: Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan, creating an even crust layer.
- Initial Bake: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8 minutes to set and slightly firm it.
- Add Toppings: Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the warm crust, then layer the mini marshmallows on top of the chocolate chips.
- Bake to Toast Marshmallows: Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes, or until the marshmallows have puffed up and turned golden brown.
- Cool Down: Remove the pan from the oven and let the S’more Bars cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate them to help set the bars for easier cutting.
- Serve: Once chilled, cut into bars and serve. Enjoy the gooey, sweet treat!
Notes
- You can substitute chocolate chips with chopped chocolate or a mix of milk and dark chocolate for varied flavor.
- For a crunchier crust, consider adding a teaspoon of sugar to the graham cracker and butter mixture.
- If mini marshmallows are unavailable, regular marshmallows cut into smaller pieces work fine.
- Store leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheat briefly in a microwave to restore gooey texture before serving, if desired.
