S'mores Bars No-Bake (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Crust Ingredients

01 - ½ cup butter, melted and unsalted
02 - 1 ½ cups finely crushed graham crackers

→ Chocolate and Marshmallow Layer

03 - 1/3 cup condensed milk (sweetened)
04 - 1 cup tiny marshmallows
05 - ½ cup milk chocolate chips (optional, for extra chocolate)
06 - 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

# Instructions:

01 - Start by preparing the crunchy base. In a bowl, mix the melted butter with graham cracker crumbs until all crumbs look coated and blend together. If you pinch the mixture and it crumbles, drizzle a little more butter. Then press this mix into the bottom of an 8×8-inch pan with something flat, like the back of a measuring cup. Set aside.
02 - Melt together your chocolate chips and condensed milk in a microwave-friendly bowl. Heat for 30 seconds, stir well, and repeat if needed until it’s silky and smooth. Pour this mixture over the crust you made earlier and use a spatula to spread it evenly all the way to the pan’s edges.
03 - Before your chocolate sets, scatter marshmallows across the top like a blanket, making sure they’re spread out. Sprinkle optional milk chocolate chips randomly over the marshmallows for extra gooeyness. Don’t worry—the marshmallows stick as the chocolate cools!
04 - Put the pan in the fridge to chill for about 2 hours, or until everything’s set and firm. If you want to try and speed it up, pop it in the freezer for around 45 minutes, though slower fridge-setting gives a better texture.
05 - Once it’s cooled and firm, take it out and cut into squares. I like to warm the knife under hot water and dry it before slicing each time for neat shapes. Pull the bars out of the fridge a bit before serving so they’re softer to eat. These make great snacks at parties or outdoor gatherings.

# Notes:

01 - Love s’mores? You’ll adore these no-campfire-needed s’mores bars! They taste like your favorite campfire treat but are made in a kitchen!
02 - Put them under the broiler for about a minute if you want that toasted marshmallow flavor—just don’t take your eyes off them.
03 - The bars stay fresh for up to seven days if kept in a sealed container in the fridge.
04 - For extra pizzazz, drizzle some melted chocolate across the finished bars before putting them in the fridge.
