Time 1h25m

Yield 16 bars

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick cooking spray
8 full graham cracker sheets
1 heaping cup mini pretzels
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 1/4 cups mini marshmallows
1/4 cup white chocolate chips
Generous pinch fine salt
2/3 cup roasted almonds, coarsely chopped
Heaping 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
1/4 cup white chocolate chips
2 tablespoons flaked coconut
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Pinch fine salt
2 tablespoons flaked coconut, optional

Steps:

  • Grease a 9-inch-square pan and line it with parchment paper so that the paper extends up all sides. Lightly spray the parchment with nonstick spray and set aside.
  • For the crust: Lightly spray a large bowl with nonstick spray. Break the graham crackers into the bowl, aiming for pieces about 1/2 to 1 inch in size. Crush the pretzels into the bowl so that they break into halves or quarters. Toss together and set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium. Cook until it begins to bubble, then stir with a spatula until it becomes golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Immediately add the marshmallows and 1 tablespoon water; the mixture will bubble. Reduce the heat to low and continue stirring until the marshmallows are mostly melted, about 1 minute.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the white chocolate chips and salt, stirring until the chips melt. Pour this mixture over the graham cracker mixture and toss and stir to combine. Scrape into the prepared pan and press into an even layer, filling in gaps by borrowing some of the mix from another spot.
  • For the trail mix toppings: Sprinkle the almonds, marshmallows, chocolate chips and coconut evenly over the mixture in the pan. Press firmly to make sure it sticks to the base layer.
  • For the chocolate coating: Combine the semisweet chips, oil and salt in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 15-second intervals stirring after each, until melted, about 45 seconds. Pour over the trail mix layer and smooth with a spatula, filling any crevices. Tap the pan gently to help the chocolate settle.
  • Sprinkle with coconut if using. Allow to set until the chocolate is firm, several hours at room temperature or about 1 hour in the refrigerator. Cut into 16 bars. Leftovers will keep, covered, at room temperature for up to one week.

Tips:

  • Ensure all ingredients, especially the butter, are at room temperature before mixing. This will help the ingredients blend smoothly and evenly.
  • Do not overmix the graham cracker crust or it will become tough. Mix just until the graham cracker crumbs are evenly moistened and hold together.
  • Press the graham cracker crust mixture firmly into the pan, ensuring there are no gaps or uneven spots, to prevent the crust from crumbling when slicing the bars.
  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor. Semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips are commonly used, but you can also experiment with milk chocolate or different flavored chips, such as mint or peanut butter.
  • If you prefer a gooey marshmallow layer, do not overcook the marshmallows when melting them. Remove them from the heat just before they reach a full boil, and stir in the vanilla extract immediately.
  • Allow the bars to chill completely before cutting them. This will help them set properly and prevent them from falling apart.
  • For a neater cut, dip your knife in hot water and wipe it clean before each slice. This will prevent the marshmallow from sticking to the knife and tearing the bars.

Conclusion:

The no-bake s'mores bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a crispy graham cracker crust, gooey marshmallow filling, and rich chocolate topping, these bars are sure to be a hit with people of all ages. The best part is, they require no baking, making them a great option for those who don't have an oven or are short on time. Experiment with different chocolate chips or marshmallow flavors to create your own unique variations of this classic campfire treat.
