A quick and easy no-bake s’mores bars recipe that combines a crispy graham cracker crust with gooey marshmallows and melted chocolate, perfect for kids and snack time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups graham crackers, crushed (preferably honey-flavored)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Crush about 2 cups of graham crackers into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or food processor and place in a mixing bowl.
  2. Add 6 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter and a pinch of salt to the graham cracker crumbs. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand and holds together when pressed.
  3. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking pan. Press the graham cracker mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the pan using a spatula or the bottom of a glass.
  4. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 3 cups of mini marshmallows and 1 ½ cups of chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until smooth and melted.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the melted marshmallow-chocolate mixture.
  6. Pour the marshmallow-chocolate mixture over the pressed crust and spread evenly with a spatula.
  7. Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours or until the bars are firm enough to cut cleanly.
  8. Remove from the refrigerator and slice into 12 squares. For cleaner cuts, warm your knife under hot water and dry it before slicing.

Notes

Use room temperature butter for even mixing. Microwave marshmallows in short bursts to avoid burning. Press crust firmly for a sturdy base. Chill bars thoroughly for clean slicing. Warm knife under hot water for cleaner cuts. For gluten-free, substitute graham crackers with gluten-free alternatives. For dairy-free, use coconut oil and dairy-free chocolate chips and marshmallows.
