Sweet Tooth: S'mores Bars
It's National S'more Day! If you are like us, this is hands down the best random national holiday. Forget National Cupcake Day and National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day...to us, there's nothing quite like the melted goodness of gooey chocolate and fluffy marshmallows sandwiched between two crunchy graham crackers. Mmm! Is your mouth watering yet?
To properly observe this holiday we decided to whip up some s'mores. Not just any s'mores... Seriously Amazing S'mores Bars. Just as all of our favorite baking adventures start, we poked around on Pinterest and found a few recipes that we transformed into our very own. Check out the recipe below. Give it a try and let us know what you think!
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 king size milk chocolate bars
- 1 1/2 - 2 cups marshmallow fluff
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add in egg and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, mix together flour, graham cracker crumbs, salt, and baking powder.
- Pour butter mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
- Split dough in half and press half of it firmly into the bottom of an squaregreased, glass baking pan (we used an 8x8 inch pan) so it forms an even layer on the bottom of the pan. (Tip: Use the bottom of a measuring cup to press the layer flat and even.)
- Layer on the two king size chocolate bars.
- Evenly spread marshmallow fluff over the top of the chocolate bars, cover the entire surface–all the way to the sides.
- Roll out other half of dough and then place on top of the marshmallow. You'll want it to be one single, smooth layer.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Let the bars cool all the way before cutting. We know it's nearly impossible to resist the urge of tasting them ASAP, but trust us...if you let them cool, they will be MUCH easier to cut up.
Happy National S'more Day!

@Georgy, my whole fam is from the UK and I have tried to explain graham crackers to them for years, I don't think you can get any. But it's basically a pretty sturdy cracker/biscuit type to go with the choclate. But I always put cadbury chocolate in mine instead of hershey's! :)

I had no idea either. I actually treated myself to a Smores Pie from McDonalds at lunch today for staying true to my diet all week long!
