S’mores are one of my favorite desserts ever! Marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers all melty and gooey- my favorite!
I thought I take my S’mores Cookies recipe and turn it into S’mores Cookie Bars. Well, it was actually my sister’s awesome idea and I am so glad she insisted I do it!
The main difference between the cookies and the bars in that you will need to bake the bars a little longer. Pretty easy right!?
What ingredients do you need?
- Butter
- Sugar- brown and white
- Vanilla
- Large Eggs
- Flour
- Baking Soda
- Salt
- Instant Pudding- I recommend Vanilla or White Chocolate
- Graham Crackers
- Mini Marshmallows
- Chocolate Chips
- Chocolate Chunks/Bars
How to make S’mores Cookie Bars:
- Preheat oven and spray a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray
- Mix together the wet ingredients, set aside
- Mix together the dry ingredients including the crushed graham crackers but not the marshmallows or chocolate yet
- Combine the wet and dry mixtures then stir in the chocolate and mini marshmallows
- Spread dough out into the prepared baking dish and bake!
- Enjoy!
High Altitude Adjustments
What are the high-altitude adjustments for S’more Cookie Bars?
Decrease white sugar to ⅔ cup, decrease brown sugar to ⅔ cup, increase flour to 2 ½ cups and add 2 teaspoon of water.
What type of chocolate bars should you use?
I stuck with the classic Hershey Milk Chocolate Bar since that’s what I’ve grown up eating on S’mores. If you have a different preferred candy bar you can use that!
What type of pudding should you use?
Use a small box of instant pudding mix- they sometimes vary in sizes depending on the brand but you want a box that is between 3-4 oz. I like to use either vanilla or white chocolate flavored.
Can I make these in a larger baking sheet?
If you want cookie bars that aren’t as thick bake in a 13x18 sheet pan like I did for my chocolate chip cookie bars and sheet pan brownies! Just makes sure you reduce the baking time.
Don't miss this tip!
Before baking sprinkle the top of the flattened cookie dough with extra mini marshmallows and pieces of chocolate. This adds even more gooeyness and makes them picture perfect!
