S'mores No Bake Bars
All the flavors of a campfire s'more in an easy no-bake bar. A buttery graham cracker crust is layered with rich chocolate ganache and topped with fluffy toasted marshmallow — no oven, no fire required.
How do you make s'mores no bake bars?
S'mores no-bake bars have a pressed graham cracker crust, a silky chocolate ganache layer, and a toasted marshmallow topping. They set in the refrigerator in about 2 hours with no oven required.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup Heavy cream
- 2 cups Mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- 1
Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides for easy lifting.
- 2
Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and salt together until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Tip: Press firmly with the back of a measuring cup or a glass to get an even, compact crust.
- 3
Press the graham cracker mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
- 4
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not boil.
- 5
Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until completely smooth. Stir in vanilla.
- 6
Pour the chocolate ganache over the chilled crust and spread evenly with a spatula.
- 7
Scatter mini marshmallows evenly over the chocolate layer. For a toasted effect, use a kitchen torch to lightly brown the marshmallow tops.
Tip: No kitchen torch? Place under your oven broiler for 30–60 seconds — watch closely as they brown very fast.
- 8
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until the chocolate is fully set. Lift out using the parchment overhang and slice into bars.
Tips & Substitutions
- Use high-quality chocolate chips (at least 60% cocoa) for the richest ganache.
- Dip your knife in hot water and wipe dry between cuts for clean, neat slices.
- Add a layer of peanut butter spread over the crust before the ganache for a peanut butter s'mores twist.
- The bars taste best when served slightly chilled — not straight from the freezer.
