Tools & Supplies for Making S’mores Bars
How to Make S’mores Bars
To make the cookie dough for the s’mores bars, I recommend using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
Here is the basic breakdown of the steps involved in this recipe!
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a 9×13 baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together unsalted butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking soda and salt. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined.
- Spread 2/3 of the graham cracker cookie dough into the prepared baking dish into an even layer. Spread the marshmallow fluff over the cookie dough and sprinkle with the milk chocolate chips. Crumble the remaining cookie dough over the chocolate chips.
- Bake the s’mores bars for approximately 30 minutes until golden brown on the top. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan to room temperature. Cut the bars into squares and enjoy!
S’mores Bars Recipe Tips
Prepare the baking pan for easy bar removal
My favorite way to prepare baking pans is to use nonstick cooking spray and parchment paper sheets. Line the bottom and sides with parchment paper. Be sure that the parchment extends up the sides of the pan for easy removal.
Graham cracker crumbs
To make the graham cracker crumbs, I recommend using a food processor. You will want the crumbs to be very fine.
Storing and serving
The bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for about 2 to 3 days. Serve the bars at room temperature or briefly heat in the microwave the make the marshmallow gooey and the chocolate chips melty.

Very tasty and rich! A little too much marshmallow fluff for my taste. Next time I will reduce the amount to 2 c. I added 1 rough chopped Hershey bar on top too.
Maybe my oven runs hot but these were done baking at 22 min.

Thank you for trying the recipe! Definitely adjust it to your taste!
Can you freeze these?
Hi Janet! The bars can be frozen! I recommend wrapping them well in plastic wrap and then storing them in an airtight container in the freezer to prevent freezer burn.
Listen this was a 10 at my house and that’s really saying alot around here , I also took some to a friend , and he asks me everytime I see him,, when I’m bringing more ,lol! I’m bout to make it again right now. FYI you prolly need to cook an extra 10 to 15 mins

How much marshmallow cream do I need? 3 cups seems like a lot.
Hi Cindy! You will need 3 cups of marshmallow cream for the recipe as written. If you would like to change that amount, you are certainly welcome to! Because it is a 9×13 pan, you need a good amount to cover the entire top.
How many ounces of marshmallow cream is equal to 3 cups?
Hi Shana! It looks to be about 13 ounces or so.
So good!
So glad you enjoyed the recipe!
