S'mores Dessert Bars (Print Version)

These handheld treats pack the nostalgic flavors of s'mores into a simple and shareable snack, great for meetups or whenever you're craving sweetness.

# Ingredients:

→ Crust Layer

01 - 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
02 - 1 1/2 cups (150g) crushed graham crackers
03 - 1/4 cup (50g) white sugar

→ Chocolate and Topping

04 - 2 cups (about 120g) tiny marshmallows
05 - 1/4 cup (60ml) milk or heavy cream—your choice!
06 - 1 1/2 cups (260g) dark chocolate chips
07 - 1/2 cup (90g) milk chocolate chips (if you'd like)

# Steps:

01 - Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch pan or use parchment paper to line it.
02 - Stir together the graham cracker crumbs and sugar in a mid-size bowl. Pour in the melted butter and mix until it's crumbly but combined.
03 - Push the crust mixture firmly into the lined or greased pan. Pop it in the oven for about 8-10 minutes, just until you see a little golden color. Take it out to cool.
04 - While your crust is cooling, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and milk (or cream) to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat it in bursts of 30 seconds, stirring between until you’ve got silky smooth chocolate.
05 - Spread the melted chocolate evenly across your cooled crust using a spatula.
06 - Scatter the mini marshmallows across the chocolate layer. Slide it back into your oven for 5-7 minutes, just enough for the marshmallows to puff up and toast a golden brown.
07 - As soon as you’ve taken the pan out of the oven, sprinkle on the milk chocolate chips if using. Let them soften and melt slightly.
08 - Set the pan on the counter to cool down for 20-30 minutes. Then, move it to the fridge and chill for at least an hour to firm up.
09 - Once cooled, slice into squares and dig in!

# Helpful Notes:

01 - For an extra treat, drizzle some melted chocolate over the top after cooling.
02 - Switch up mini marshmallows with large ones—but cut them into smaller pieces for even coverage.
03 - Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Refrigerate if you want to keep them fresh longer.
