These Oven-Baked Smores Bars are everything you love in a bar cookie AND smores. Easy cookie making, and a favorite flavor combination, all in one! And if you love sitting by a campfire eating smores you’ll love NOT camping and eating these.
A graham base, baked to crispy perfection in the oven. Then topped with milk chocolate, marshmallows, then the whole thing is baked again for one of the easiest eating smores you’ll ever have!
Why make smores bars??
These cookie bars are just the thing to make when you need to feed a crowd. Whether you’re camping or just cooking out these make enjoying smores SO EASY.
And clean! No dripping marshmallows or melted chocolate getting everywhere. PLUS you can easily have them prepared ahead of time to make dessert easier on everyone.
The extra graham cracker crumbs on top are an optional topping and not needed.
Can you Really Bake with Marshmallows?
NOPE! If you add marshmallows to any recipe and bake it as you normally would those marshmallows will melt. They’ll bake away until they’re melted through.
The trick to making these bars is NOT overbaking them after you add the marshmallows. You have to completely bake the base layer and then add the toppings.
Once you add the marshmallows, chocolate, and extra graham cracker crumbs you return to the oven just to cook the marshmallows and melt the chocolate.
