S’mores Cookie Bars
Hello friends! Do you ever get fixated on one thing? Like an intense craving for something and that’s all you can think about for days? This happened to me recently with S’mores and the results of that craving were these s’mores cookie bars.
I’ve been craving s’mores for well over two weeks. We visited my in-laws at their camping site for a day and the kids put together a fire pit and there was roasting of marshmallows and making of good ole s’mores. But unfortunately for me on that day, I was fasting (as it was Ramadan) and was unable to indulge in the festivities. Bummer right? That’s how my fixation with s’mores started and last weekend I settled the score with these bars and boy just looking at them satisfied my s’mores craving.
The recipe starts with a graham cracker cookie dough that is topped with a layer of marshmallow fluff. The marshmallow layer is topped with chocolate squares and then add another layer of mini marshmallows. Finally, the remaining graham cracker dough is spread over the marshmallows to seal it all together. End with some mini chocolate chips on top just because one can never have too much chocolate. After it’s baked, the result is just amazing!
You get a soft, chewy graham cracker cookie bar that is filled with ooey gooey melted chocolate and marshmallow and is everything a s’mores should be! A lot better in my opinion than the traditional s’mores but you can be your own judge. Since I am not a fan of camping, I got my campfire treat in my living room without the dragon flies!! If it wasn’t so hot outside, I would have turned on the fireplace to set the mood 🙂 (Hmmm, I just might make this again in the winter!)
Whether you are heading up to camp or just a family BBQ, these s’mores cookie bars will be a great hit! Bring them along. Just try not to taste them before the party starts because I can’t promise how many might make it!

S'mores Cookie Bars
These classic s'mores cookie bars are ooey-gooey perfection with a graham cracker cookie dough crust filled with marshmallow fluff and chocolate squares.
Ingredients
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 7 ounces jar of Marshmallow fluff
- 6 (1.55 oz Bars) Hershey's Chocolate bars, unwrapped and cut in squares
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8 x 8" square baking pan with baking spray and set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until well combined, about 3 minutes on medium speed. Add egg and vanilla extract and beat until combined.
- Reduce speed to low and stir in flour, graham cracker crumbs and baking powder until just combined.
- Divide the dough in half and spread half at the bottom of the pan. Smooth with a rubber spatula. Evenly spread the marshmallow creme over the dough and smooth. Place chocolate squares on top of marshmallow creme. Top chocolate with the cup of mini marshmallows. Top with the remaining half of the dough. Spread with a rubber spatula. It is OK if you can still see the marshmallows. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the cookie dough.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Allow cookie bars to cool COMPLETELY in pan before cutting. Otherwise you may end up with some oozy marshmallows (it's not the end of the world).
Notes
NOTES: If you are baking these in a glass dish, please adjust the bake time accordingly.

Thanks Emily for the feature 😉
These bars look so ooey gooey good! I too get fixated on something and I usually go through a phase where everything has to involve that, like right now I’m so into peanut butter and chocolate. 🙂
Peanut butter and chocolate is a great phase 🙂
Zainab, these looks just SO delicious! Thank you so much for joining us and sharing at Best of the Weekend! Pinning to our party board and I’ll be pinning to my Sweet board plus sharing on FB over the weekend. Hope your weekend is great and please join us next Friday!
Thanks Cindy!! Hope you have a great weekend.
Being from Australia, I’m not really sure what S’mores is? But it does look like something I would enjoy! These look great!
I had no idea what s’mores were until I came to America too. They are camping fire treats in which you sandwich roasted marshmallows between graham cracker cookies and chocolate squares. They are seriously good!!
Oh wow.. that sounds amazing!
This sounds so yummy! I’m a kindergarten teacher and my classroom theme is “kindergarten campers”. I try and do a little something with s’mores every now and then. This is perfect and inexpensive!
Thanks!
Yes Sami that would be great! Hope it works 🙂
OMGeeeee! The second pic with the chocolate and the marshmallow oozing…I’m drooling over here! I don’t even excel at baking (like my kiddies think baking is spooning the cookie dough outta the bucket from the supermarket) but i may actually climb the limb and try this…
lol you should totally try it. It’s so easy to make 🙂
This looks delicious! My mom has a similar recipe for smores cookie bars, I’m going to have to compare!
Nicole thanks! I’m sure this won’t fail the test 😛
Oh so gooey! They look incredibly mouthwatering! Thanks for sharing at Sweet & Savory Saturdays #24!

I made these for a cookie exchange party today. I suppose I didn’t let them cool thoroughly because the marshmallows oozed but it really didn’t matter; they were absolutely delicious. They looked just as perfect as the picture and the recipe was incredibly easy to follow. I will be making these over and over again!
Sara, I am so glad you loved these!! And I hope they were perfect for the cookie exchange. They are a big hit every time I bring them to a party. And it is so hard to wait for it to cool right?? I don’t think I have ever waited for the recommended time but it is always delicious. Thank you so much for coming back and leaving a comment on the recipe!!

if these aren’t perfect for summer, i don’t know what is! the graham cookie base sounds good even plain (;
Right? The cookie base is a delight!
Now you’re going to start me craving s’mores!! Not a bad thing except that I have NO time to bake anything. Arrgh. I’m just going to have to live vicariously through you.
