Description

Delicious and gooey S’mores Bars that combine a buttery graham cracker crust, melted Hershey’s chocolate, and toasted mini marshmallows, perfect for a sweet treat or party dessert.


Ingredients

Units Scale

Crust

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 8-12 Tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Topping

  • 4 Hershey Chocolate Bars (4.4 ounce each)
  • 1 package mini marshmallows

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the crust.
  2. Prepare Pan: Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with non-stick butter spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Mix Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is evenly moistened and resembles wet sand.
  4. Press Crust: Press the graham cracker mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and sides of the prepared baking pan, packing it tightly to form the base crust.
  5. Bake Crust: Bake the crust for 8 minutes or until the edges begin to turn golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
  6. Add Chocolate Layer: Place the Hershey chocolate bars evenly over the cooled crust, covering it completely.
  7. Melt Chocolate: Return the pan to the oven for approximately 3 minutes, just until the chocolate starts to melt and becomes shiny. Remove from oven and cool for 1-2 minutes.
  8. Add Marshmallows: Arrange the mini marshmallows tightly over the melted chocolate layer, covering evenly.
  9. Broil Marshmallows: Set the oven to broil and place the pan on the top rack. Watch carefully and broil for about 2 minutes until marshmallows turn golden brown. Remove immediately to avoid burning.
  10. Cool and Set: Let the bars cool completely. For easier cutting, refrigerate the bars to allow them to set firmly.
  11. Cut and Serve: Use a sharp knife warmed under hot water and dried to slice the bars cleanly, repeating warming if the knife gets sticky. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use the full 12 tablespoons of butter if you want a firmer, more packed crust.
  • Press the crust firmly to prevent crumbling after baking.
  • Watch marshmallows closely while broiling to avoid burning or catching fire.
  • Refrigerate bars after cooling to make cutting easier and less sticky.
  • Warming the knife before cutting helps achieve cleaner slices through gooey marshmallows.
