For the Crust
- 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup Melted butter
Topping
- 4 cups Chocolate chips
- 1 package Mini marshmallows (about 10 oz)
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking.
- Prepare Pan: Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Make Crust Mixture: In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until evenly mixed.
- Form Crust Base: Press the graham cracker and butter mixture firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the prepared pan to create an even layer.
- Bake Crust: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 8 minutes to set the crust.
- Add Toppings: Remove the crust from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the surface, then add the mini marshmallows on top.
- Bake Again: Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and melted.
- Cool and Chill: Allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature, then place in the refrigerator to set and firm up.
- Serve: Once chilled, cut into bars and serve. Enjoy your homemade s’mores bars!
Notes
- You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with milk or dark chocolate based on preference.
- For extra crunch, add chopped nuts to the crust or topping if desired.
- Watch the marshmallows closely during the final bake to avoid burning.
- Store leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free graham cracker crumbs.
