Instructions
Creating these delicious S’more Bars is a straightforward process. Follow these easy steps to make your own:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a 9×9 inch baking dish or lining it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, and sugar. Pour in the melted butter and mix until well combined. The mixture should look like wet sand.
3. Press the Mixture: Firmly press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Ensure it’s packed evenly to create a solid base.
4. Layer the Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the graham cracker crust.
5. Add the Marshmallows: Evenly distribute the mini marshmallows on top of the chocolate layer. This will give your bars that signature gooey texture.
6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden and bubbly.
7. Cool the Bars: Once done, remove the baking dish from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 to 15 minutes. This cooling period is vital for cutting the bars into neat squares.
8. Cut and Serve: Once cooled, use a sharp knife to carefully cut the bars into squares. Optionally, you can sprinkle a little sea salt on top for an added flavor dimension.
