Happy National S’mores Day, y’all! If you’ve read my recipe binder post you may remember how I lost one of my absolute favorite recipes when the blog that hosted it shut down! It’s one of the biggest reasons why I’ve started printing out all the amazing recipes I find on the internet. Well, I’ve tried about a million s’mores bars recipes since then with even more variations of them trying to replicate the recipe, and I’m so happy to say I’ve found a winner! DING, DING, DING!!! I’m so happy to have this back in my dessert rotation again!
Can you tell I love s’mores? Chocolate, marshmallow, graham crackers…mmm! This recipe has all the flavors of s’mores, but it’s in an easy to serve cookie bar. I’ve also added a fair amount of salt to the crust, which balances the sweetness nicely (if you like that salty/sweet combo, you can check out this salted chocolate chip cookie pie recipe or this delicious salted caramel butter bars recipe). Try it the next time you need a chocolate fix or are looking for a dessert to bring to a party. It’s especially great in the summer if you aren’t able to have a campfire at your next get-together.

Ooey Gooey S'Mores Bars
This recipe has all the flavors of s'mores, but it's in an easy to serve cookie bar. Try it the next time you need an amazing dessert to bring to a party.
Ingredients
- 18 graham crackers, 2 sleeves

- Mix the graham cracker mixture into the butter mixture with a spatula.
- Reserve about 1 cup of the mixture for the topping.
- Grease a 9 x 13 glass dish and press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom with your fingers to make the crust.
- Spread the chocolate chips evenly on top of the crust and follow with the miniature marshmallows.
- Crumble the reserved graham cracker mixture on top of the marshmallows.

Oh my goodness, I need this NOW!
Mary, I wish you were closer to me because I need someone to take these away from me. My husband is out of town, and my boys and I keep eating them! They are so good. You have to try them! Thanks for checking them out!
Robin – your photography is just great, and I’m drooling over the S’mores recipe!
Thanks, Barb! I’ve really been working on my photography, so that means a lot!

Thanks for sharing this recipe. Will definitely be making this for the upcoming family reunion ????
Yay! I’m so happy to hear that, Kim! I’d love to see some pics and hear what you think when you make it! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Wow. So, I would have featured this in a heartbeat. These bars look so delicious that I think I’ll have to make it anyways! There won’t be any trouble getting rid of them around here!
Kim, you’re awesome! One of my sons won’t eat anything with marshmallow (not sure how he’s my kid), and my hubby is out of town, so my 6 year old and I have been eating them non-stop. The 6 year old has been on a constant sugar high, and I don’t think I can fit into the clothes that I wore just last weekend. I have to stop eating them, but I can’t! So happy to hear from you!
They look amazing! I love one dish desserts for my book club dinners. I’ll have to try this one.
Thanks so much! It’s so good! You have to try it
These look incredibly– my family would love them! π
Thanks so much Courtney!
I’m making my ingredient list now. My guys sends their thanks….. LOL. #footballfood
