    S'mores Bars made with homemade graham cracker cookie dough, melted marshmallow fluff, and milk chocolate. A soft, ooey-gooey dessert that is even better than a s'more from a campfire!

    S'mores Bars

    What words come to mind when you think of summer? Watermelon, lazy days swimming, vacations and roasting s'mores over a campfire. Last year I created a recipe for S'mores Brownie Bars which are downright fabulous. However, I wanted to create a simpler version without the brownies and made with homemade graham cracker cookie dough baked with marshmallow fluff and milk chocolate bars. 

    These S'mores Bars may be one of the favorite things I have ever made! Even though s'mores may be one of the quintessential summer desserts, the soft graham cracker cookies beat out packaged graham crackers every single time.

    How to make Perfect S'mores Bars:

    GRAHAM CRACKER COOKIE DOUGH:

    It is made with butter, brown sugar, sugar, eggs, vanilla, crushed graham crackers, flour, baking soda, and salt. When it bakes it becomes like a soft and chewy graham cracker.

    MARSHMALLOW:

    I experimented using both marshmallow fluff and marshmallows and even a combination of the two of them.  The marshmallow fluff was the creamiest and melted with ease.  I did try a combination of marshmallow fluff and large marshmallows cut in half. The marshmallows toasted nicely in the oven and gave it a little crunch. If you would like to add a few marshmallows, give it a try!

    CHOCOLATE:

    You can use all kinds of chocolate in these s'mores bars. I tested them with high-quality Trader Joe's Pound Plus Milk Chocolate Bars, Hershey Bars, and chocolate chips.

    The Milk Chocolate Bars are thick, melt nicely, and leave a rich chocolate flavor. The Hershey Bars are thinner but also melt well. Chocolate chips are made to keep their shape so the chips didn't melt as nicely.

    The winner was the Trader Joe's Pound Plus Milk Chocolate Bar for its creamy texture and taste.

    How to cut the S'mores Bars: 

    Since this is an ooey, gooey bar, it needs time to set up.  I tested this recipe over and over again and found that freezing the bars made them so much easier to slice.  After a short freezing time, the bars can be easily cut. Once you cut them into slices, the s'mores bars take only less than 15-20 minutes to thaw.

    You can cut them into 12 large squares or 24 smaller pieces.

    Ingredients
      

    Graham Cracker Cookie Dough:

    • ¾ cup Butter 1 ½ sticks, softened
    • ½ cup Brown Sugar
    • ⅔ cup Sugar
    • 1 Egg
    • 1 Egg Yolk
    • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
    • 1 ⅓ cups Graham Cracker Crumbs from about 1 full package
    • 1 ½ cups Flour
    • ¾ teaspoon Baking Soda
    • ¾ teaspoon Salt

    Marshmallow and Chocolate Topping:

    • 1 - 7- ounce jar Marshmallow Cream
    • 8 ounces Milk Chocolate Bars

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
    • In a large bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, and sugar for 3 minutes or until light and fluffy.
    • Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and mix together.
    • Stir in graham cracker crumbs, flour, baking soda, and salt.
    • Press ½ of graham cracker cookie dough in 8 x 8-inch pan.
    • Cover graham cracker with chocolate bars.
    • Spread marshmallow cream over chocolate bars, completely covering.
    • Lightly press the remaining ½ of graham cracker cookie dough on top of marshmallow cream.
    • Bake for 26-30 minutes or until golden.
    • Let cool.
    • Tip: For ease of cutting, place in freezer for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
    • Cut into slices and serve. The marshmallow cream and chocolate is melty so it may run. Freezing helps solidify chocolate and marshmallow. Leave at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.

      The proper name for this recipe is "Better than S'mores". We (a family with two teenagers) love them! No more campfire sitting for us. 🙂

      Just made these today and they’re phenomenal. Had a little extra dough (I went too thin on the bottom layer) so I rolled them into balls and baked them as cookies for about 10 minutes. They were fantastic as well. Will definitely be making this again.

      One thing to note. Applying the layer of fluff was kinda hard. That stuff is so tacky and it goes EVERYWHERE. I ended up putting little dollops all over instead and it worked out well.
