🔖 Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Cookie Dough Layer:

• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

• ½ cup brown sugar, packed

• ⅓ cup granulated sugar

• 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk (for extra fudgy texture)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)

• ½ tsp baking soda

• ½ tsp salt

• ½ cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate

For the Layers:

• 1 sleeve graham crackers (use honey, cinnamon, or chocolate grahams)

• 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows

• ½–¾ cup assorted chocolate chips (semi-sweet, milk, dark, or white)

🔥 How to Make S’mores Bars

Step 1: Prep Your Pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting.

Step 2: Make the Cookie Dough

In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy.
Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.

Step 3: Assemble the Layers

Lay graham crackers in a single layer on the bottom of the pan.
Spread the cookie dough evenly over the crackers — it’s okay if a few pieces peek through.

Step 4: Bake the Base

Bake for 18–20 minutes, until lightly golden and just set in the center.

Step 5: Add Marshmallows + Chocolate

Remove from the oven, sprinkle marshmallows and assorted chocolate chips over the top, and bake for another 3–5 minutes — just until the marshmallows puff up and begin to turn golden.

Pro Tip: Want that authentic campfire char? Use a kitchen torch to toast the marshmallows to perfection.

Step 6: Cool & Slice

Let the bars cool completely before cutting into squares (this helps them set properly and gives those clean layers).

🍫 Recipe Tips for the Best S’mores Bars

• Use a mix of chocolates: Combine milk, dark, and white chocolate chips for deeper flavor.

• Creative graham choices: Try cinnamon or chocolate graham crackers for a twist.

• Make it gooier: Add a spoonful of Nutella or peanut butter between layers.

• Want thicker bars? Double the cookie dough layer and extend bake time by 5–7 minutes.

• Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature up to 4 days, or refrigerate for a firmer texture.
