How to Make S’more Bars

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup butter (melted)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 7.75 oz Hershey Chocolate Bars (5 chocolate bars)
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a 9×13 pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper and spray it again lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. In a bowl, stir the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined. Add in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Mix everything until it’s lighter in color.
  3. Next, add in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Make sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to have a smooth batter. Fold in the graham cracker crumbs.
  4. Divide the dough into thirds. Spread two-thirds of the cookie dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. Top this layer with pieces of chocolate bar and mini marshmallows.
  5. Spread the remaining one-third of cookie dough over the chocolate and marshmallows. You can take small amounts of dough, flatten them in your hands, and place them on top. It’s okay if some chocolate and marshmallows are showing.
  6. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through to ensure it cooks evenly.
  7. After baking, remove the bars from the oven and let them cool completely. Use the parchment paper to lift them out of the pan easily and cut into 24 even bars.
  8. Store in airtight containers at room temperature for up to three days or in the refrigerator for up to five days.
