The batter for these easy s’mores bars is a stir-together, one bowl recipe that comes together in less than 5 minutes before turning it out into a pan and baking. It takes me longer to roast one perfect marshmallow over a campfire than it does to make this s’mores recipe! The combination of chocolate, graham crackers, and marshmallows, all suspended in a buttery, brown-sugar based dough, is pure bliss. If you don’t have anything on your summer dessert menu — including Memorial Day, Father’s Day, 4th of July, or Labor Day — or have no plans to stand around a campfire any decade soon, may I suggest these? They’re ready from start to finish in under 30 minutes, and will be a hit with friends and family. They are definitely a hit here!
Ingredients in Loaded S’mores Bars
To make the bars, I used my easy, go-to blondie recipe that has served me so well over the years, and I adapted it yet again. I love the batter because it’s buttery and made with brown sugar, and it takes on caramel notes while baking. To make this easy s’mores dessert, you’ll need:
Unsalted butter Egg Light brown sugar Vanilla extract All-purpose flour Graham crackers Mini marshmallows Semi-sweet chocolate chips

How to Make S’mores Bars
These very gooey s’mores bars are a cinch to make! Follow these basic instructions: When adding the smores components to the batter, it’ll appear that there are more add-ins than batter. And that’s fairly accurate. The abundance of add-ins ensures the bars are taste like taking a big bite of warm, gooey s’mores rather than eating a blondie that has a few marshmallows or chocolate chips added.
Storage Instructions
At room temperature: Leftover bars should be stored in an airtight container. They’ll last up to 1 week. As I always tell people, make sure you read the recipe twice before beginning, measure carefully, and bake correctly. However, I’ve had hundreds and hundreds more who have had great success and they leave glowing comments! But, if you’re not ready for really gooey on the verge of potentially falling apart type of bars that are messy – but oh-so-good – then this may not be the dessert for you. In the freezer: Let the bars cool completely before storing in an airtight container or freezer bag. They’ll last up to 6 months.
