Description
A simple & easy S’mores Bars recipe with only a few minutes of bake time (for the crust) and they are perfect for a crowd!
Ingredients
Scale
Graham Cracker Crust:
- 2 cups graham crackers, crushed
- 1/2 cup butter, melted (dairy-free butter works)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon real maple syrup
Chocolate Layer:
- 3 regular-sized chocolate bars or 3.5oz chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Topping:
- 2–3 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Make Crust: Combine Crust ingredients in a mixing bowl. Pour out into the prepared pan and press down with fingers until it covers the bottom evenly and is firm. Place in oven, middle rack, and let bake 10-12 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Chocolate + Marshmallows: Meanwhile, melt together the chocolate, peanut butter and coconut oil in the microwave (do this in 15-20 second increments). Pour out on top of the graham cracker crust and ensure it is evenly spread. Place marshmallows on top (arrange them how you want, we placed them in rows).
- Toast: Using a kitchen torch, lightly torch the tops of the marshmallows so they turn light brown. You can also do this under the broiler in the oven (move the rack up to the 2nd notch from the top & keep the door cracked to watch the pan the entire time).
- Cool: Place the pan in the refrigerator for approx. 30 minutes or until chocolate has solidified again. Remove and let come to room temp (about 15-20 minutes) so the marshmallows soften again.
- Serve: Enjoy right away!
Notes
- 9×9 Pan: if you want to use a 9×9 pan, that will work, but we recommend using an extra bar of chocolate so the bars don’t come out too thin.
- Gluten-Free: use gluten-free graham crackers and marshmallows.
- Dairy-Free: use a dairy-free butter and dairy-free chocolate chips (such as Enjoy Life).
- Storage: store on the counter-top, covered, for up to 4-5 days (assuming it is a temperature controlled room).
