S’mores are amazing. Building a campfire to have one? Less amazing. Enter s’mores bars. A buttery graham cracker crust gets layered with chocolate chips and marshmallows, then baked until the marshmallows turn golden and the chocolate gets all melty. No skewers. No flames. Just pure, sticky, chocolatey perfection in bar form. Cut them warm for maximum goo or cool for clean slices. Either way, gone in minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Makes one 9×9 pan (9-12 bars).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 14 full sheets)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
\u00bd cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Difficulty:<\/strong> Very Easy (no mixer needed)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Storage Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
How to Store:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. The crust stays crunchy, but marshmallows will lose some puff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pro Tip for Next-Day Goo:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Microwave a bar for 8-10 seconds to bring back that fresh-from-the-oven marshmallow pull. Serve with vanilla ice cream for the ultimate dessert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Freezing:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Freeze uncut bars in the pan, tightly wrapped, for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature. Texture changes slightly, but still delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Make Them Pretty:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
For picture-perfect bars, broil the top for 30 seconds at the end of baking. Watch like a hawk\u2014burnt marshmallows are sad marshmallows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
