Description

Deliciously gooey S’mores Bars combining a graham cracker dough base layered with melted milk chocolate and marshmallow creme, baked to golden perfection for a delightful treat inspired by classic campfire s’mores.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cup (156 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon (4 g) baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon (5 g) salt
  • 6 (93 g) graham cracker sheets, crushed into crumbs

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50 g) white sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract

Additional Ingredients

  • 2 (125 g) milk chocolate XL Hershey Bars (4.4 oz each)
  • 1 jar (198 g) marshmallow creme (7 oz)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350° F. Line an 8-inch by 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside, ensuring easy removal of bars later.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl using a hand or stand mixer, beat the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated, creating a smooth batter.
  5. Combine Flour and Graham Cracker Crumbs: With mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture and mix until just combined, about 20 seconds. Then stir in the crushed graham cracker crumbs by hand or with the mixer on low for about 10 seconds.
  6. Form Bottom Dough Layer: Press half of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Carefully lift out the parchment paper with the dough on it and set aside; this will be your top cookie layer.
  7. Assemble Layers: Line the baking pan with parchment paper again. Press the remaining half of the dough evenly into the bottom. Layer the milk chocolate bars evenly over this layer, followed by spreading the marshmallow creme on top.
  8. Add Top Cookie Layer: Gently place the reserved top cookie dough layer (on parchment) over the marshmallow creme layer, pressing lightly to cover.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven at 350° F for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  10. Cool and Serve: Let the s’mores bars cool completely before cutting and serving for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Store s’mores bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
  • For easier slicing, refrigerate bars after cooling to firm up the marshmallow layer.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal from the pan easier.
  • If desired, substitute milk chocolate with dark or white chocolate for variation.
