How To Make S’mores Bars

Creating S’mores Bars is a fun and straightforward process. Follow this step-by-step recipe to make the perfect S’mores Bars that everyone will love.

Prepare Your Pan: Grease a 9″ x 13″ pan with non-stick spray and set it aside.

Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter and marshmallows together over low heat until completely smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Combine Cereals: In a large bowl, mix the Rice Krispies and Golden Grahams cereals together.

Mix with Marshmallow Mixture: Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the combined cereals. Use a silicone spatula to stir until everything is evenly coated. As you mix, sprinkle in additional mini marshmallows if desired (about 1/2 cup).

Spread the Mixture: Pour the cereal mixture into the prepared pan and pat it down evenly. Use the back of a spoon dipped in water to prevent sticking.

Toast the Marshmallows: Sprinkle extra mini marshmallows on top of the bars. Use a culinary torch or the broil setting on your oven to toast the marshmallows. If broiling, watch carefully to prevent burning.

Add Chocolate: Top the toasted bars with pieces of Hershey’s chocolate broken into rectangles.

Slice and Enjoy: Let the bars cool completely before slicing into squares. Enjoy your delicious S’mores Bars!

How To Store S’mores Bars

At Room Temperature

S’mores Bars can be stored at room temperature for up to three days. Place the bars in an airtight container to keep them fresh. If the bars are sticky, layer them with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

In the Refrigerator

For a firmer texture, store S’mores Bars in the refrigerator. They can last up to a week when refrigerated. Use an airtight container and layer with parchment paper if needed.

In the Freezer

To store S’mores Bars for longer periods, freeze them. Wrap each bar individually in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to three months. Thaw at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving.

Tips For The Best S’mores Bars

Melt Marshmallows Slowly

Melt the butter and marshmallows over low heat to ensure a smooth, even mixture. This prevents the marshmallows from burning and ensures a creamy texture.

Don’t Overmix

When combining the cereal with the marshmallow mixture, mix just until everything is coated. Overmixing can cause the cereal to break down and become too compact.

Watch the Broiling

If you’re toasting the marshmallows under the broiler, keep a close eye on them. Marshmallows can go from perfectly toasted to burnt very quickly.

Let Them Cool

Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting. This helps them set properly and makes them easier to slice.

Recipe Variations

S’mores Bars are incredibly versatile, and there are many ways you can switch up the recipe to create new flavors and textures.

Peanut Butter S’mores Bars

Add 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter to the melted marshmallow mixture for a delicious peanut butter twist.

Dark Chocolate S’mores Bars

Replace the milk chocolate with dark chocolate for a richer, slightly less sweet variation.

S’mores Bars with Graham Cracker Crust

Create a graham cracker crust by mixing crushed graham crackers with melted butter and pressing it into the bottom of the pan before adding the cereal mixture.

Nutty S’mores Bars

Add chopped nuts, such as almonds or pecans, to the cereal mixture for added crunch and flavor.

Vegan S’mores Bars

Use vegan marshmallows, dairy-free chocolate, and plant-based butter to make a vegan-friendly version of S’mores Bars.

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter
10 oz. bag Mini marshmallows (plus extra for sprinkling)
2 tsp. vanilla extract
3 cups Rice Krispie cereal
3 1/2 cups Golden Grahams cereal
2-3 Hershey’s Chocolate bars, broken up

Directions

Grease a 9″ x 13″ pan with non-stick spray then set aside.
In a medium-sized sauce pot, melt the butter and marshmallows together over love heat until completely melted and nice and smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
In a separate, large bowl, stir together both cereals. Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the cereal and use a silicone spatula to stir and combine everything evenly. As you stir, sprinkle in as many extra mini marshmallows as you’d like. I added about 1/2 cup. throughout.
Pour this mixture into your prepared pan then pat it down evenly. To pat it down I used the back of a spoon that I occasionally dipped in water to prevent the mixture from sticking.
Sprinkle on extra mini marshmallows and use a culinary torch or broil setting to toast the marshmallows on top. If you use the broil setting on your oven for this step, be sure to keep a close eye on your marshmallows because they can burn fast! Toast until toasted to your liking.
Top the bars with Hershey’s chocolate bar pieces broken up into rectangles. Slice into squares and enjoy!
