Summer and s’mores go hand in hand. There’s nothing like that crunchy, melty, chocolatey campfire treat.

If you’re not a camper, or hate smelling like campfires, you can still enjoy those s’mores flavors in these s’mores cookie bars.

Chocolate chip cookie dough combines with a graham cracker crust, mini marshmallows, and chocolate pieces to make S'mores Cookie Bars.

This dessert is a combination of s’mores and chocolate chip cookies. It’s easier to eat than traditional s’mores and way less messy, although not completely mess free if you decide to eat them warm. (Definitely recommended and preferred!)

Plus you don’t need to know how to start a fire to enjoy the toasted marshmallows sprinkled on top.

No campfire needed for these cookie bars filled with your favorite s'mores ingredients.

S’mores cookie bars combine the three key elements of s’mores:

  1. There is a layer of graham crackers on the bottom. Just like the base of campfire s’mores. It provides a nice sturdy layer to hold onto while eating.
  2. Then there is a layer of chocolate chip cookie dough with marshmallows folded right in. Place a few extra marshmallows on top before baking for that toasted marshmallow factor.
  3. After the cookie bars have been baked, Hershey’s chocolate bar pieces are placed on top get all melty.
S'mores Cookie Bars are layered with graham crackers and marshmallow filled cookie dough, then baked to perfection and topped with chocolate bar pieces.

You can enjoy these gooey chocolate chip cookie bars with marshmallows while still warm, or make them ahead of time. They are great for any get together because kids and adults alike love them.

Warm and gooey s'mores cookie bars with graham crackers on bottom, marshmallows inside, and chocolate pieces on top.

Baking and Storage

You can grease a pan and bake these as usual, but I like to use parchment paper to make it super easy to lift the bars out of the pan and cut them while still warm.

Storage: Store s’mores cookie bars at room temperature in an airtight container or in the baking pan covered with plastic wrap.

You may store the bars in the refrigerator if you want the chocolate bars on top to set back up completely, otherwise they may remain soft. Especially in the hot summer months when your kitchen is warmer.

Graham crackers, mini marshmallows, and Hershey's chocolate bars transform these cookie bars into a s'mores treat.

Total: 40 minutes
S'mores Cookie Bars are layered with graham crackers, cookie dough with marshmallows, and topped with chocolate bar pieces.
Yields24 servings

Ingredients

  • 7-8 (78-109 g) graham crackers, (full sheets/unbroken rectangles)
  • 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, (2 sticks) room temperature
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup (150 g) light brown sugar, gently packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups (360 g) all-purpose flour, (stir, spoon, & level)
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ¾ tsp baking soda
  • ½ cup (135 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (45 g) mini marshmallows
  • 2 regular sized Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bars, (two 1.55oz/43g bars) broken into squares

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 13×9-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the sides.
  • Place graham crackers in a layer covering the full pan, breaking graham crackers into sections as needed to fit properly.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and both sugars. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix and scrape bowl.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking soda. Add the flour mixture, chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows to the butter mixture. Mix until just combined.
  • Evenly distribute the dough on top of the graham crackers and press flat. Top with additional mini marshmallows if desired.
  • Bake at 375˚F for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean from the center. Cover with foil if cookie dough browns faster than center bakes.
  • Remove from oven and place chocolate bar pieces on top while still warm. Allow to cool for 20-30 minutes before lifting bars out of pan to cut and serve. NOTE: Chocolate bars may stay quite soft and melty at room temperature.

  1. These sound great.  Can they be frozen for later use?  
    Thanks!

    1. The graham crackers on bottom may get soggy. I haven’t tried it myself, so I can’t say for sure.

  2. Can I use pre made Pillsbury chocolate chip dough?

    1. You can use whatever you like, however I cannot guarantee results if the recipe is altered.

      1. Ok thanks for responding, my cookie dough never turns out that great…

  3. I’m not sure what happened…I made mine according to directions but the middle was still liquid, had to cover with aluminum foil to get the center solid and then the grahams on the bottom were completely burnt. Bummer bc what I scraped off the top that wasn’t burnt was delicious.

    1. I’m sorry this didn’t turn out well for you Brandy. Some ideas I have about what may have gone wrong: The type/quality of pan my have been thin/poor. The oven shelf may have been too close to the heating element. The butter may have been too soft or the cookie dough mixture creamed too long. If your oven runs hot, you may need to bake it at a lower temperature for a longer time. I’m glad that what you could taste was at least good, but I’m sorry the grahams were burnt.

    Made these today and a big hit. I doubled the choc chips and marshmallows. Yummy

  5. A 1/2 cup of chocolate chips is no where near enough. I wish I had stuck with my gut and added some when I noticed how sparce the dough was. If I do make them again I will use at least a whole cup.
    I didn’t bother with individual scoops, I just plopped handfuls of batter on to the graham crackers and smoothed them out

    1. Sorry you wished it were more chocolatey. I felt like 1/2 cup was enough with the additional chocolate squares on top, but definitely feel free to make it to your liking.

  6. Appreciated the video, especially showing using the cookie scoop to help distribute the dough. Didn’t use the parchment paper. It would lay right. I’m planning on freezing it then when cooled then flipping it out and then flip it right side up.

    1. Hope you enjoyed them! You can also cut them in the pan and use a brownie scoop to get them out. I just like lifting the parchment paper to cut into squares.

  7. Kendall S says:

    If I cut the recipe in half how long should I bake these for? Thanks!

  8. Autumn Schultz says:

    Hello! I’ve started learning to bake recently and I’m blogging my attempts for a college writing class. Is it okay if I try out your recipe and write about it? I’ll make sure to add a link to this page and give credit where it’s due!
    (My s’mores bars are in the oven right now, and they smell amazing. I’m so ready to eat one.)

      Hi Autumn, you can read about my copyright notice at the bottom of my recipe cards, under the recommended products. Basically if you use your own photo, re-write the recipe in your own words, and link back to me, it’s fine.

  9. Made these yesterday….OH. MY. GOSH. Followed recipe as written, turned out perfectly! I shared a picture on FB and four friends asked for the recipe (I shared the link).  I’m having a hard time staying out of them! Thank you for a great recipe!
