Ingredients
– 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter
– 3/4 cup (150g) packed light or dark brown sugar
– 1 large egg, at room temperature
– 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
– 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
– 1 cup (120g) graham cracker crumbs (about 8 full-sheet graham crackers)
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

– 1 cup (180g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 1 heaping cup marshmallow creme (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
1-Getting started with Smore Bars is straightforward and fun, beginning with preheating your oven: Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) and grease a 9ร9 inch baking pan for even baking and easy removal. This simple step sets the stage for a smooth baking process and ensures your bars come out perfectly.
2-In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter; mix well until the mixture resembles wet sand. This creates the crumbly base that holds everything together. Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan, forming a solid crust.
3-Sprinkle 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the crust for consistent chocolate coverage. Top with 1 cup of mini marshmallows spread evenly to achieve the classic melty marshmallow layer. Bake the assembled bars in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the marshmallows are golden brown and slightly puffed.
4-Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack to set properly before cutting. Finally, slice into bars and serve while incorporating any dietary adaptations like vegan butter or gluten-free crumbs. For an extra twist, consider checking out a similar treat like a no-churn ice cream recipe to pair with your bars for a creamy dessert experience.
