S’mores Bars

These super quick and easy s’mores bars are the PERFECT last minute, no-bake summer treat. They’re made with golden grahams, marshmallows, brown butter, marshmallow fluff and chocolate.

Why you’ll love these s’mores bars

1. EVERYONE loves s’mores flavor. I didn’t say everyone loves a s’more, I said s’mores flavor because s’mores are annoying to eat but these are not. 
2. So quick and easy to make and it’s a no-bake recipe.
3. Can and should be made 1-2 days in advance. 

For more s’mores treats, I have cookies, a FABULOUS cake, the best s’mores donuts, s’mores marbled cupcakes,  s’mores cinnamon rolls, and a s’mores frap. 

If you’re here for quick and easy, no-bake bars, I have chocolate rice krispie treats, the BEST peanut butter rice krispie treats, and a lazy cake. 

What are s’mores bars 

These s’mores bars are a spin off of a rice krispie treat. I used golden graham cereal (best cereal to ever exist) as the graham cracker-y base and then mixed it with the melted marshmallows like you would in a rice krispie treat. 

Of course, I couldn’t leave them simple though. I definitely browned the butter before adding the marshmallows to melt. It also needed chocolate because s’mores and I was OBSESSED with the extra level of gooey in my peanut butter rice krispie treats so I added extra marshmallow fluff. 

How to make s’mores bars

1. Place the golden grahams in a large bowl and use your hands to crush some of them so they’re not all quite as big and have some dimension. 
2. Brown the butter:  Place butter into a medium-size saucepan and heat it over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally (if the butter is cold, cut it into cubes first).
3. As the butter begins to bubble and foam, stir continuously. You’ll need to scrape the solids off the bottom of the pan. The milk solids will start to settle and darken.
4. Remove it from the heat and continue stirring for about another minute until the butter darkens into an amber color.
5. Add the marshmallows to the bowl and stir over low-medium heat until they’re completely melted. 
6. Pour the melted mixture over the golden grahams and fold it all in quickly until it’s mostly combined.
7. Add the chocolate and marshmallow fluff and fold them in until they’re evenly distributed – this is kind of difficult, just do your best and then press it into the prepared pan. 
8. Refrigerate for a few hours to set (it sets quickly, like 20 minutes but it tastes so much better after a few hours). 

How to store s’mores bars

These bars are best served at room temperature or just slightly chilled. I store them covered in an airtight container or bag at room temperature for 2-3 days and then I refrigerate them for up to a week. 

You can also freeze them in an airtight container or freezer bag. Or wrap them individually in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer bag if you want to keep them for longer and remove just one at a time!
