How to Make S’mores Bars
Tips
- Butter or spray with nonstick cooking spray the top part of the parchment paper with nonstick cooking spray. The toasted marshmallows tend to stick to the paper.
- Be sure the crust is packed firmly in the pan. The tighter the crust, the less likely it is to crumble.
- When slicing the bars, run the knife under hot water and wipe clean with paper towels between each slice. This will give you cleaner slices.
- Don’t pack the marshmallows tightly in the pan. Leave a little space between each one. When baking, they will puff up and join together. They will become even tighter together upon cooling.
- You can use mini marshmallows if desired. Watch them closely while toasting, they might take a little less time.
- Swap dark brown sugar for granulated sugar to achieve a more caramel-like flavor.
- Cool them to room temperature, and the chocolate will still be slightly melted. If cooled completely, the chocolate will be set.
