Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Tips & Variations

  • For extra gooeyness, add a layer of peanut butter or caramel between the crust and chocolate chips.
  • Use a combination of milk and dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
  • Broil the bars for 1-2 minutes at the end instead of baking longer to get perfectly toasted marshmallows without drying them out.

Storage

Store s’more bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Before serving, let them come to room temperature or warm briefly in the microwave for a soft, melty treat.

How to Serve

Each bar has three clear layers: the bottom layer is a golden brown crust with a crumbly texture, the middle layer is a smooth, dark chocolate filling, and the top layer is made of evenly toasted marshmallows, golden and slightly browned in parts, arranged in a grid pattern. Scattered around the bars are a few loose chocolate chips and small white marshmallows, adding extra detail to the scene. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
