TIPS FOR THE BEST S’MORES TREAT BARS

Follow these tips to make the best S’mores Dessert Bars.

✔️ Use a graham cereal. If you can’t find a graham cereal you can either break up pieces of graham crackers or use a cereal like Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

✔️ If you can’t find the tiny marshmallows, use mini marshmallows. You don’t want these to melt so allow the mixture to cool a little before adding.

✔️ Reduce total time cooking. Melt butter and marshmallows in a large microwave safe bowl in the microwave on high for 3 minutes, stirring after 2 minutes. Stir until smooth.

✔️ Don’t mix too hot or over-mix. The mini chocolate chips will melt if the mixture is too warm or over-mixed. Gently fold them into the mixture once it’s mostly cooled but before it’s set.

✔️ Cool in the refrigerator to speed up the setting process. You can cut them and eat them immediately but they will be very gooey and sticky.

HOW TO STORE

Countertop: Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Freeze: Wrap each square in plastic wrap and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Defrosting: Thaw on the counter for 2-3 hours.
