Directions: Baking S’mores Bars at Home
Step 1: Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and salt. Stir until all crumbs are moistened.
- Press mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Step 2: Add Chocolate and Marshmallow Layers
- Sprinkle both the semisweet and milk chocolate chips evenly over the crust.
- Top with mini marshmallows, spreading them out to cover as much surface as possible.
- Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the entire pan.
Step 3: Bake the S’mores Bars
- Bake for 20-23 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the marshmallows are toasted and puffed.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely in the pan for clean slicing (about 30-40 minutes).
- Lift out with the parchment and slice into bars. Garnish with extra graham cracker pieces if desired.

Notes & Tips for Best S’mores Bars

- You can use homemade graham crackers for extra flavor and crunch.
- For an ooey-gooey texture, serve them slightly warm (a quick zap in the microwave does the trick).
