Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups mini marshmallows
• 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, mix the melted butter with graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar until well combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create a crust.
3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
4. In a large bowl, beat the brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
5. Spread the batter evenly over the graham cracker crust using a spatula.
6. Evenly sprinkle the mini marshmallows and chocolate chips over the batter.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and the edges are set.
8. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Helpful Tips:

• For extra gooey bars, add more chocolate chips and marshmallows on top just after taking them out of the oven.
• If you don’t have mini marshmallows, you can cut regular-sized marshmallows into smaller pieces.

Storage Instructions:

Store any leftover s’mores bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For a longer shelf life, you can refrigerate them for up to a week.

Ingredient Substitutions:

• You can substitute chocolate chips with any of your favorite chocolate bars for a unique twist.
• If graham crackers are not available, digestive biscuits can be a good alternative.

Pairings:

These s’mores bars pair beautifully with a cup of hot cocoa or a glass of cold milk. For a more adult pairing, try with a nice cup of cappuccino or latte.
