My dear, sweet husband is always wanting to go camping. Don’t get me wrong, I love a little over-nighter in a tent but that is about as wild as it got for us growing up in a family of all girls.
He was quite sad when I broke the news to him that my very pregnant body, at the time, just couldn’t handle sleeping on the ground and dealing with a toddler in a tent.
While he was at work, my little buddy and I decided to set up an indoor campsite to surprise dad when he got home. He may not have been as excited as he would have been if we had really camped, but these s’mores bars sure eased his pain.
I enjoyed one too many of these yummy treats, slept in my own bed and listened to my boys laugh out in the living room. That is my kind of camping!
We may never go back to S’mores over the campfire; unless of course we are camping. These S’mores bars are ready in no time, and maybe even yummier!

How long do these stay fresh?
If you are lucky enough to have any S’mores Bars left over, they will stay fresh for a few days in an airtight container.
We have made them ahead of time and stuck them in the freezer. So they freeze really well. Be sure you use a freezer bag or air tight freezer container to preserve freshness.

These amazing S’mores bars need no fancy ingredients. Ingredients you may already have for baking, or a few you can grab at the grocery store.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8 x 8 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl cream together butter, brown sugar, and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Then beat in egg and vanilla.
- In a small bowl whisk together the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, and salt.
- Add this to the butter mixture and mix on low until combined.
- Divide the dough in half and press half into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread evenly with fingertips.
- Place candy bars all over the top of the dough.
- Spread the marshmallow creme over the chocolate bars.
- Then place the remaining dough over the marshmallow. You may have to flatten pieces and place all over the marshmallow creme.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until lightly golden brown. Cool completely to cut into bars. You can eat while warm, but they will be gooey. (We like them that way.)

S’mores Bars Recipe
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter softened to room temperature
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1⅓ cups flour
- ¾ cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 King Size Hershey Milk Chocolate Bars 3 (2.6ounce) bars
- 7 ounces marshmallow creme 1 container
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in egg and vanilla.
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt.
- Add to butter mixture and mix at a low speed until combined.
- Divide dough in half and press half of dough into an even layer on the bottom of the prepared pan. We found it works best to use our fingers.
- Place chocolate bars over dough (3 king-sized Hershey bars should fit perfectly side by side, but break the chocolate if necessary to get it to fit in a single layer no more than 1/4 inch thick).
- Spread marshmallow creme over chocolate layer.
- Place remaining dough in a single layer on top of the marshmallow (most easily achieved by flattening the dough into small, flat shingles and laying them together).
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until a light golden brown.
- Cool completely before cutting into bars.
Notes
- We have made them ahead of time and stuck them in the freezer. So they freeze really well. Be sure you use a freezer bag or air tight freezer container to preserve freshness.

I think you could just sprinkle on the marshmallows rather than using the creme!
