Ingredients

Here’s everything you’ll need to bring this dessert to life:

• 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ½ cup melted butter
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1½ cups milk chocolate chips
• 1½ cups mini marshmallows
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)

Tools You’ll Need

• 9×13-inch baking dish
• Parchment paper
• Mixing bowl
• Spatula
• Measuring cups and spoons

How to Make Gooey S’mores Chocolate Bars

Step 1: Prep Your Dish

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper. This makes it easier to lift out the bars once they’re done—trust me, you’ll thank yourself later!

Step 2: Make the Crust

In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of your prepared dish to form the crust. This buttery base will hold up all the gooey goodness you’re about to layer on top!

Step 3: Add the Chocolate & Marshmallows

Evenly sprinkle the milk chocolate chips and mini marshmallows over the crust. Spread them out for full coverage—every bite should be packed with chocolaty, marshmallowy goodness.

Step 4: Drizzle with Sweetened Condensed Milk

Now comes the magic ingredient: sweetened condensed milk. Drizzle it generously over the chocolate and marshmallows, ensuring you cover everything. This is what makes the bars incredibly gooey and rich.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Pop the dish into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the marshmallows are perfectly golden and gooey. Your kitchen will smell incredible as these bars bake! Let them cool slightly before cutting—though I won’t blame you if you sneak a piece while they’re still warm.

Serving Suggestions

These bars are delicious on their own, but you can make them extra indulgent with a few toppings:

• Drizzle of melted chocolate on top after baking for even more chocolatey goodness.
• Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an epic dessert combo.
• Add a sprinkle of sea salt for a sweet-salty contrast.

Tips for Making Perfect Gooey S’mores Bars

• Use parchment paper: Lining the dish makes it easier to lift out the bars and ensures nothing sticks.
• Watch the marshmallows: Keep an eye on them during the last 5 minutes of baking to make sure they turn golden, not burnt!
• Let them cool slightly before cutting—this helps them hold their shape better.

Storage Instructions

If you have leftovers (though I doubt you will!), store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for up to 2 months—just thaw them at room temperature before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Use Dark Chocolate Instead of Milk Chocolate?

Absolutely! Dark chocolate will give these bars a deeper, less sweet flavor that pairs wonderfully with the marshmallows.

Can I Make These Gluten-Free?

Yes! Swap out the graham crackers for gluten-free graham cracker crumbs, and you’re good to go.

Can I Add Extra Toppings?

Of course! Try adding crushed peanuts, coconut flakes, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon before baking for an added twist.
