These easy gooey s’mores bars combine a crunchy graham cracker crust, melted chocolate, and pillowy marshmallows for a nostalgic campfire treat made conveniently in your kitchen.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sheets, finely crushed)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • A pinch of sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon. Stir until evenly moistened and crumbly.
  2. Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Press the graham cracker mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom. Bake for 8-10 minutes until set and slightly golden around the edges.
  3. While the crust bakes, measure out the chocolate chips. Spread them directly on the hot crust to melt gently, or microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
  4. Once the crust is out of the oven, immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the warm crust. Let sit for a minute, then spread into an even layer using a spatula.
  5. Top the melted chocolate with mini marshmallows, pressing them lightly so they stick but still puff up during baking.
  6. Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until marshmallows are golden and puffed. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. Once cool, lift out the slab using parchment paper and cut into 9-12 squares.

Notes

If marshmallows brown too fast, tent the pan loosely with foil halfway through baking. Use mini marshmallows for even melting and gooey texture. Press crust firmly to avoid crumbly bars. A sharp serrated knife works best for cutting bars without squishing.
