S'mores are a staple recipe when it comes to a summertime dessert. While roasting marshmallows over a campfire is always fun, it isn't always super practical. That's where these s'mores bars come into play. The bars take all the best elements of a s'more and make it accessible to make it your oven, no matter the season.

S'more Cookie Bar Recipe

The bars basically act as one giant s'mores. The bottom layer of the bars is made with graham cracker crumbs, followed by layers and layers of chocolate chunks and marshmallow fluff. One bite of the bars, and you'll experience a load of different textures. The cookie base is crumbly, the chocolate is melty, and the marshmallow fluff is perfectly gooey.

The secret to getting the perfectly toasted marshmallow in the bar is using fluff instead of traditional marshmallows. Typical marshmallows tend to burn and caramelize right into the bars, leaving an unpleasant taste. The fluff works just like a toasted marshmallow would over a campfire. Spreading it layer by layer around the chocolate and the cookies allows the marshmallow flavor to be in every single bite.

How To Make S'more Cookie Bars

6. Bake. Bake the bars at 350 for about 20-30 minutes. The bars will look gooey and toasty when completed. Let the bars cool slightly before cutting. Enjoy while still warm.
