S’more Bars

May 14th, 2012

I love s’mores, but they are awfully messy. No matter how I eat them, I always end up with strands of melted marshmallow all over my chin and caked in my hair. These bars are the perfect solution. I do miss the campfire a little bit, but my marshmallow-free hair is totally making up for it (not to mention these taste about 10,000 times better than actual s’mores). A big thanks to Kim at Lovin’ From the Oven for the recipe!

s'more bars recipe

1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 king-sized milk chocolate bars (e.g. Hershey’s)
1 1/2 cups marshmallow creme/fluff (not melted marshmallows)

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.

In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light. Beat in egg and vanilla. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt. Add to butter mixture and mix at a low speed until combined.

Divide dough in half and press half of dough into an even layer on the bottom of the prepared pan. Place chocolate bars over dough. 2 king-sized Hershey’s bars should fit perfectly side by side, but break the chocolate (if necessary) to get it to fit in a single layer no more than 1/4 inch thick. Spread chocolate with marshmallow creme or fluff. Place remaining dough in a single layer on top of the fluff (most easily achieved by flattening the dough into small shingles and laying them together).

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool completely before cutting into bars.

  1. Made this for the first time, SUPER EASY to make. I can hardly wait to try them. Taking them to a friends for dessert after dinner.

  2. These really look yummy, I will be trying them on my kids at the first chance I get

    We made these a couple months ago, and we did not like them very much. It’s a shame, because they look so good, and I love s’mores. The chocolate and marshmallow part wasn’t bad, but the whole thing together wasn’t good. And by that, I mean my boyfriend and I took a couple bites and threw the rest away. :( Something resembling graham crackers a bit more would have been better. It’s a good concept, but it just didn’t work for us.

    can you make a rectangle one of these??? i need to know very soon. this is a life or death situation.

      I just made a 9×13 rectangle (its sitting on my counter cooling as we speak…or typing) and I just doubled the recipe!!!

    P.S. Just tried em…Soooo good!!! In regards to Katies comment about it resembling a graham cracker a bit more would have been better, I think I’ve often thought while enjoying traditional smores that I’d prefer a softer chewier cookie to the hard crunchy graham cracker so it totally did it for me! Glad I finally tried this recipe…Been wanting to for a while. Thanks for pinning!!!

    I was thinking of using Nutella instead of the chocolate bars. You think it would work? Thanks!

  9. CAn you use a graham cracker crust for this, then layer with chocolate and then fluff and then maybe top with smashed graham crackers with butter mixture on top of fluff then bake til melted…idk..sounds reasonable..but i’m not a baker..

    • Casey

      I was thinking the same thing! I love baking and all but I’m not good at redoing recipes and experimenting unfortunately. I’d love to look into doing something in more of a pie form, it sounds wonderful!!

  10. I wonder if you could use graham cracker pie crust break your chocale and lay in then cover with marshmellow cream then turn graham crust upside down on top then bake .I haver NEVER had a smore so I really woul not know

  11. Can you substitute margarine for the butter? I would think so but wanted to ask.THANKS,

    In answer to the Nutella question my kids & I made those peanut butter & Nutella stuffed croissants & the Nutella doesn’t get melty it sort of coagulates & gets thicker less creamier so I’m not sure the s’mores would work with it!

    Made this tonight and it turned out perfect :) just made sure to seal the corners. Tks for sharing this recipe!!!!

I love your comments more than I love chocolate (almost).
