3. Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Your Own S’more Bars

Prepare the Crust

Begin by combining graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Although this is a no-bake treat, setting the crust in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes helps it firm up.

Melt the Chocolate and Marshmallows

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and marshmallows together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. You can also melt these ingredients using a double boiler on the stove if you prefer.

Assemble the S’more Bars

Pour the melted chocolate and marshmallow mixture over the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Add drops of vanilla extract for enhanced flavor, then sprinkle mini marshmallows on top. For an extra crunch, sprinkle crushed graham crackers or a pinch of sea salt.

Chill and Set

Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until the mixture is set and firm. This allows the flavors to meld and the bars to become easy to slice.

4. Storage Tips for Your S’mores Bars

Keep these S’more Bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for maximum freshness. To prolong shelf life, you can also freeze the bars for up to a month. Just make sure to wrap them tightly with plastic wrap or store in a freezer-safe container. When ready to enjoy, let the bars thaw slightly at room temperature.

5. Serving Suggestions for the Perfect No-Bake S’more Treat

These easy S’more Bars are fantastic on their own, but you can elevate the presentation by garnishing with additional mini marshmallows or a drizzle of melted chocolate. Serve them at family gatherings, picnics, or as a sweet ending to any meal. They also pair beautifully with hot cocoa or your favorite coffee.

6. FAQ About This S’more Bars Recipe

Can I make these S’more Bars gluten-free?
