Perfect S’mores Bars
Summer may be nearly over, but with these delicious s’mores bars you can have a taste of summer all year long! I know in the middle of the winter I’m totally going to be making these decadent bars. They taste just like a s’more, but in more of a soft and chewy cookie bar form. They are over the top and melt-in-your-mouth delicious! I’m thinking I’m going to have to start replacing some of the flour in this Chocolate Chip Cookie S’more recipe with fine graham crackers crumbs so I can get the same taste these have. If you love s’mores, then trust me, this is a dessert you don’t want to pass by! They just make life feel more complete somehow.
S’mores Bars Ingredients
For this s’mores dessert, you’ll need:
All-purpose flour Graham cracker crumbs Baking soda Salt Unsalted butter Light brown sugar Granulated sugar Egg Vanilla extract Hershey’s chocolate bars Marshmallow creme
How to Make S’mores Bars
Whisk together flour, baking powder, graham cracker crumbs and salt. Set aside. In a separate bowl, blend together butter and sugars until creamy. Add egg and vanilla extract, then mix in dry ingredients. Divide dough in half and press one half into a parchment paper-lined baking dish.
Place chocolate bars side by side over dough.
Top the chocolate bars with the marshmallow creme.
Flatten remaining dough on top of the marshmallow creme layer. Bake s’mores bars until top is golden brown, then let cool completely before cutting into squares.
Can I Use Another Type of Chocolate?
Yes, of course! Feel free to use whatever chocolate bars you have on hand. Personally, I wouldn’t recommend using white chocolate since I think that’d be too sweet. But it’s up to you!
Can I Use a Graham Cracker Substitute?
Yes, if your store doesn’t sell graham crackers, you could use something similar, like digestive biscuits. You want a cookie that’s slightly crumbly and not too sweet.
Tips for the Best S’mores Bars
To make adding the top layer of cookie dough easier, first shape the dough into a square on a piece of parchment paper. Then gently flip the parchment paper over the baking dish so the graham cracker cookie dough lays evenly over the marshmallow creme. Let the bars cool completely before cutting into them, otherwise the marshmallow and chocolate will ooze out. Crush the graham crackers very finely so there are no big chunks left.
