Tips & Variations

  • For added texture, mix some chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts into the crust or sprinkle on top before baking.
  • Use dark, milk, or semi-sweet chocolate chips depending on your preferred sweetness level.
  • Try adding a layer of peanut butter or caramel sauce between the crust and chocolate for a richer flavor.
  • If you don’t have mini marshmallows, regular marshmallows chopped into smaller pieces work well too.

Storage

Store the s’more bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To keep the marshmallows soft, avoid leaving them at room temperature for extended periods. You can gently warm the bars in a microwave for 10-15 seconds before serving if you prefer them slightly gooey.
