How do I Store these Easy Smores Bars?
These Easy Smores Bars stay soft for up to a week (if they aren't devoured on the first day!). Just wrap with cling wrap in the baking pan or place them individually in an airtight container.
Store these Smores Bars at room temperature for up to a week. The cookie base stays soft for days!
I do not recommend storing Smores Bars in the refrigerator or freezer because the mini marshmallows will get dry and hard quickly.

Equipment
- Bowls
- 9x13 Baking Pan
- Piping Bag optional
- Kitchen Torch optional
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips divided
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a 9x13 baking pan by lining it with a sheet of parchment paper with 'handles' extending on both sides. (Watch the video to see this.)
- In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large bowl with a hand mixer, cream the butter and sugars together until creamy and smooth.
- Add in the eggs, one at a time, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
- In another large bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Press the dough into the lined baking pan.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the middle is just barely set. Remove from oven.
- Melt about ⅔ of the chocolate chips in the microwave on 30-second burst. Stir between bursts. Spread the melted chocolate over the cookie base and sprinkle on the mini marshmallows. Return to the oven for 3-5 minutes. Remove from oven.
- If you want more toasty marshmallows, toast them with a kitchen torch.
- Melt the remaining chocolate chips in the microwave on 30-second bursts. Put the chocolate into a piping bag or sandwich bag. Snip off the tip of the bag and drizzle over the top of the smores bars. You can also drizzle using a spoon or spatula.
- Once cooled, cut into bars using a plastic scraper or a knife (the marshmallows don't stick to plastic cutters!) and serve. Store in an airtight container for up to 5-7 days.
