Description
S’mores Bars – a simple, easy smores bar recipe with only a few minutes of bake time (for the crust). Perfect for a crowd!
Ingredients
Scale
Crust:
- 2 cups graham crackers, finely crushed
- 1/2 cup butter, melted (dairy-free butter works)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon real maple syrup
Chocolate:
- 3 regular-sized chocolate bars or 3.5oz chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Topping:
- approx. 2-3 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 8×8 pan with parchment and set aside.
- Combine Crust ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Pour out into 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.
- Meanwhile, melt together the chocolate, peanut butter and coconut oil.
- 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).
- Using a kitchen torch, lightly torch the tops of the marshmallows so they turn light brown. You can also do this under the broiler (keep the door cracked and watch the pan the entire time), but the kitchen torch method works the best and is recommended here.
- 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 and enjoy!
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: to keep this gluten-free use a gluten-free graham cracker and marshmallow.
- Dairy-Free: to keep this dairy-free use a dairy-free butter and a dairy-free chocolate chip (such as Enjoy Life).
- Storage: store on the counter-top, covered, for up to 4-5 days (assuming it is a temperature controlled room).
- Peanut Butter: really any nut butter should work here.
