Holly’s Recipe Highlights
- Flavor: A gooey mix of s’mores and marshmallow treats with crunchy honey graham cereal, melty chocolate, and soft bites of marshmallow in every square.
- Difficulty: No campfire, no bake, and no layers. These are so easy, even the kids can help!
- Make Ahead: Assemble and freeze for up to 4 months for afterschool treats, sleepovers, or family movie night.
- Time-Saving Shortcut: Line your pan with parchment paper for easy clean up!
S’mores Bars Ingredients
- Butter: Real butter is best for blending the marshmallows and chocolate.
- Marshmallows: We use mini marshmallows in this recipe, but you can use regular-sized marshmallows cut into quarters if that’s what you have on hand.
- Chocolate Chips: We prefer semi-sweet chocolate chips, but any will taste great! Swap out for white chocolate, peanut butter, or butterscotch chips.
- Cereal: Honey graham cereal delivers the crunch throughout these s’mores bars. No need to buy the name brand if a store brand is available. Other graham cracker-style cereals to try are LIFE cereal or Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
Switch up the S’mores Bars
- A splash of vanilla extract added in Step 2 would add a toasty, caramelized sugar flavor.
- For extra creamy s’mores bars, stir in a teaspoon of light corn syrup per cup of marshmallows.
- Swap out half the butter for peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, or any seed butter.
- Feel free to add dried fruit, mini M&M’s, coconut, or nuts.
