S'Mores are one of my favorite treats. They are the quintessential campfire treat, and can be enjoyed all year round in my opinion!
This recipe is similar to the classic Rice Krispie treat and is just as easy to make. For some similar recipes be sure to check out my Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars or homemade Low Carb Moonpies.

Equipment
These S'Mores Bars only require the most basic equipment. To make these you will need:
- 9x13 inch baking dish
- Large pot
- Mixing spoon and/or a rubber spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons
I also suggest having a pastry brush for greasing the baking dish with butter but you can also use cooking spray or even your hands if you don't mind getting a little messy 😊
Before you get started ...
Measure all of the ingredients and have them ready to go. If you are using chocolate bars, it's helpful if you have them broken into chunks before starting to prepare this recipe. You will also want to grease your baking dish with softened butter or cooking spray.
Instructions
These bars are SO easy to make and only take a few minutes of hands-on time!
Start out by melting the butter in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the vanilla, salt, and almost all of the marshmallows to the pot with the butter, reserving ¾ of a cup of marshmallows for later. Continue cooking over medium heat stirring frequently until they are fully melted.
Remove the marshmallow mixture from the heat and stir in the golden graham cereal and about ¾ of the chocolate (no need to be exact 😉). Work quickly so the marshmallows won't set.
Transfer this mixture to the greased baking dish using your hands or a spatula to flatten the mixture into an even layer.
Tip: Use wet hands to press the marshmallow and graham mixture into the baking dish. The water will prevent it from sticking to your hands.
Sprinkle the remaining chocolate pieces and marshmallows on top of the graham mixture. Gently press them into the mixture.
Optional: Cook the S'mores bars under your oven's broiler for 2-4 minutes until the marshmallows on top are nice and golden. Be sure to watch them the entire time so they do not burn.
Allow the S'more bars to sit for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Storage
These S'more bars will keep at room temperature for up to a week. Be sure to keep them tightly sealed to prevent them from getting stale.
FAQs

Top tip:
