Description

Enjoy these S’more Candy Bars with a delightful combination of chocolate, marshmallows, and a graham cracker crust. They’re a quick and easy treat that brings the nostalgic flavors of campfire s’mores right to your kitchen!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
  2. Pour in the melted butter and vanilla extract. Mix until the dry ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
  3. Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal. Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of the dish, creating an even layer.
  4. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the milk chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth (about 1-2 minutes).
  5. Pour the melted chocolate over the graham cracker base, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  6. Sprinkle mini marshmallows evenly over the melted chocolate layer.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the baking dish in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, watching for the marshmallows to puff up and turn golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set slightly.
  9. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt an additional 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in 30-second intervals until smooth.
  10. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the marshmallow layer using a spoon or piping bag.
  11. Let the bars cool completely at room temperature or refrigerate for about 30 minutes to speed up the process.
  12. Lift the entire block of candy out of the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang and place it on a cutting board.
  13. Cut into squares (aim for about 16 squares, but adjust to your preference).
  14. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Refrigerate for longer storage, but allow to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture.

Notes

  • For a fun twist, consider adding crushed nuts or different types of chocolate chips.
  • These bars can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week at room temperature.
