Notes
- For optimal gooeyness, store these s'mores bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer, letting them come to room temperature before serving.
- To recreate that ultimate campfire feel, gently warm individual bars in the microwave for 10-15 seconds, or briefly in a low oven (250°F/120°C) until the marshmallows are puffy and the chocolate is wonderfully melty.
- These delightful bars are a treat all on their own, but serving them slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or a sprinkle of flaky sea salt truly elevates the experience.
- Patience is a virtue with these bars; allow them to cool completely, even chilling them for an hour, before slicing to ensure perfectly gooey, clean-cut portions that hold their irresistible shape.
