As the warm days of summer arrive, several flavors evoke fond memories: juicy watermelon, sizzling hot dogs, and creamy potato salad are just a few staples that grace my picnic gatherings. However, nothing captures the essence of summer quite like s’mores. The mere mention of s’mores conjures up nostalgic images of sticky fingers, charred sticks, glowing embers, twinkling stars, fireflies, and satisfied bellies.
Throughout the years, I have come across numerous recipes that attempt to encapsulate the delightful flavors of s’mores in bar or cookie form, but many have disappointed. My quest was to recreate the warm, gooey texture of a perfectly roasted marshmallow, the satisfying crunch of graham crackers, and the rich, chocolatey goodness in every bite.
When it comes to chocolate, I have a soft spot for Hershey’s. While I occasionally indulge in gourmet chocolates, my heart remains loyal to Hershey’s; a true s’more is simply incomplete without it.
In my S’more Bars recipe, I incorporate a generous eight bars of chocolate and a robust ten ounces of broken graham crackers. I prefer leaving the graham crackers in sizable pieces to create a layered texture that mimics the experience of a classic s’more. Naturally, marshmallows are essential. While I dream of crafting homemade marshmallows, the reality of my busy life as a mother of four makes it impractical. Thus, I appreciate this no-fuss bar recipe.
As soon as the bars emerge from the oven, the enticing aroma of chocolate and sugar fills the air, making it nearly impossible to resist slicing into them. However, patience is key; they will be quite gooey. Allow them to set in the refrigerator for about two hours. If you can’t bear to wait, feel free to scoop them into bowls and top with ice cream—your secret is safe with me.
