These gooey s’mores bars feature a crunchy graham cracker crust, a gooey marshmallow center, and a rich chocolate layer, perfect for potlucks, family gatherings, or a nostalgic treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sheets)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows (or 10 large marshmallows, chopped)
  • 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 can (14 oz / 397 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • Optional toppings: extra graham cracker crumbs, sea salt flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon if using. Mix until crumbs are evenly coated and clump together when pressed.
  3. Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan using the back of a spoon or clean fingers.
  4. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes until golden and fragrant. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  5. Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the warm crust, then spread mini marshmallows evenly on top.
  6. Drizzle sweetened condensed milk evenly over the marshmallows and chocolate.
  7. Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 15-18 minutes until marshmallows puff up and turn golden but not overly browned.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  9. Once cooled, lift bars out using parchment overhang and slice into squares. Sprinkle with extra graham cracker crumbs or sea salt if desired.

Notes

Press the crust firmly to prevent crumbling. Watch the oven carefully to avoid burning marshmallows. Let bars cool completely before slicing for best texture. Use quality chocolate chips for smoother melt. For gluten-free, use gluten-free graham cracker crumbs. For dairy-free/vegan, substitute butter with coconut oil, use dairy-free chocolate chips and vegan marshmallows. Optional toppings include peanut butter swirl, salted caramel, or fresh berries.
