Why This Recipe Stands Out
These bars bring all the classic flavors of s'mores in a quick and easy form. They are perfect for satisfying a sweet tooth without needing a campfire. Plus, they come together with just a few simple ingredients.
Step 1
Move your oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source, then turn on the broiler to preheat. Line the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan with graham crackers, placing them side by side to cover the surface. Scatter the chocolate chips evenly over the crackers.
Step 2
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter along with the brown sugar and vanilla, stirring until the mixture starts to bubble. Pour this warm, gooey mixture over the chocolate and graham crackers. Then, sprinkle the miniature marshmallows on top.
Step 3
Pop the pan under the broiler for about 3 to 5 minutes, keeping an eye on it until the marshmallows are just lightly browned. Once done, take it out and let it cool completely before cutting into squares. Enjoy!

Serving Options
Serve these bars as a fun dessert after dinner or pack them for a picnic or road trip. They pair well with a cold glass of milk or a cup of hot chocolate for an extra cozy treat.
Freezing Tips
Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, keep them in the fridge, but allow them to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular marshmallows instead of miniature ones?
Yes, but you may need to cut them into smaller pieces for even melting and browning.
What can I substitute for graham crackers if I don’t have any?
Digestive biscuits or crushed vanilla wafers can work as alternatives.
How long should I let the bars cool before cutting?
Let them cool completely, about 30 minutes, to allow the filling to set properly.
Can I make these bars ahead of time?
Yes, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Is it okay to use dark chocolate chips instead of semisweet?

What if I don’t have a broiler—can I use a regular oven?

Can I double the recipe in a larger pan?
Yes, just adjust the ingredients proportionally and use a larger baking dish.
How do I prevent the marshmallows from burning under the broiler?
Keep a close eye on them and remove as soon as they turn lightly browned.
