3. Step-by-Step Instructions for Perfect S’more Bars
Preparation of the Base Crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until evenly mixed. Press this mixture firmly into a lined 9×13 inch baking pan to form a sturdy crust. Bake for 8-10 minutes to set the crust.
Melting the Chocolate and Marshmallow Layers
Once the crust is cooled slightly, evenly sprinkle the chocolate chips over the crust. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second bursts, stirring after each, until smooth. Immediately spread the melted chocolate over the crust. Next, layer the mini marshmallows over the melted chocolate, pressing gently into place.
Assembly and Chill
Drizzle additional melted chocolate or sprinkle crushed graham crackers and marshmallows on top for added texture. Allow the bars to cool at room temperature for 15 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm. For an easier quick chill, consider using the Ninja SLUSHi Pro RapidChill Drink Maker, which can rapidly chill and set your dessert bars.
