How to Make the Best No Bake S'mores Bars

No Bake S’mores Bars bring all the delicious nostalgia of camping s’mores right to your dessert table—without the need for a campfire or oven. These indulgent treats combine a buttery graham cracker crust, a smooth chocolate center, and a layer of toasted marshmallows for the ultimate summer dessert experience.

What makes these bars so special is their simplicity and the clever use of a blow torch to toast the marshmallows instead of roasting them over an open flame. This method gives you that authentic toasted marshmallow flavor while keeping your hands safe and your kitchen clean. The combination of textures—crunchy crust, creamy chocolate, and gooey marshmallow—makes every bite absolutely irresistible.

These no-bake bars are perfect for potlucks, picnics, or any time you want to satisfy a s’mores craving. Chill them for a couple of hours before cutting to ensure clean, neat bars with that perfect bite-through texture.

Instructions

Prepare the Crust

  1. In a food processor, blend the graham crackers into a fine crumb and add to a large bowl.
  2. Melt 2½ sticks unsalted butter.
  3. Slowly pour into the graham crackers while stirring with a fork.
  4. Transfer the buttered crumbs to a 13x9 pan lined with parchment paper.
  5. Smooth into an even layer and press down using the bottom of a measuring cup.

Melt the Chocolate

  1. In a large saucepan, melt the remaining 1¼ stick unsalted butter over low heat.
  2. Add the chocolate chips, stirring until mostly melted.
  3. The chocolate may appear like it is about to seize, but will smooth after incorporating the heavy cream.
  4. Add the heavy cream, stirring continuously until all the chocolate is melted and smooth.

Layer and Chill

  1. Pour the chocolate over the graham cracker crust and smooth into an even layer.
  2. Top with mini marshmallows and chill for 2 to 4 hours to allow the chocolate to set.
  3. Remove from the pan and parchment paper.
  4. On a fire safe surface, use the blow torch to toast the marshmallows.

Cut and Serve

  1. Run a sharp knife under super hot water for 20 seconds.
  2. Wipe dry and cut the s'mores into bars.

Notes

  • Use a blow torch to toast the marshmallows for an authentic s'mores experience.
  • Chill time is essential to allow the chocolate layer to set properly.
  • Keep knife warm between cuts for clean, even bars.
