These s'mores bars are layered with a buttery graham cracker crust, gooey melted chocolate, and toasted marshmallows, resulting in a sticky, crunchy, and smoky treat. The process involves pressing crumbs into a pan, melting chocolate, and torching marshmallows for a caramelized finish, then chilling until firm for easy slicing.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs fine, buttery texture
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 10 large marshmallows preferably fresh for best melt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Spatula
  • Kitchen torch or broiler
  • Refrigerator

Method
 

  1. Mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of your prepared baking pan to create a firm crust.
  2. Bake the crust at 350°F (175°C) for about 8 minutes, just until it starts to set and smell toasted. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly while you prepare the chocolate layer.
  3. Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in 30-second bursts, stirring after each, until smooth and glossy. Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the cooled crust.
  4. Toast the marshmallows over a flame or under a broiler until golden brown and caramelized, then quickly layer them over the melted chocolate, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. Use a kitchen torch to toast the marshmallows further, if desired, for an extra smoky flavor and caramelized look. Alternatively, place the bars under the broiler for a minute, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  6. Allow the bars to cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes, then transfer to the fridge and chill for at least 2 hours or until the marshmallows and chocolate are firm and set.
  7. Once chilled, cut into squares with a sharp knife. Serve immediately and enjoy the sticky, smoky, and crunchy layers of these irresistible s'mores bars.
