Ingredients

Scale
Crust
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 8 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Topping
- 4 Hershey chocolate bars (4.4 ounce each)
- 1 package mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with non-stick butter spray to prevent sticking.
- Make Crust Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and melted butter. Stir well until the mixture is evenly moistened and resembles wet sand.
- Press Crust: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Use your fingers to firmly press the crust into the bottom and up the sides to form a packed, solid base.
- Bake Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden brown. Remove and let cool completely. The crust will harden as it cools.
- Add Chocolate Layer: Break the Hershey bars into pieces and lay them evenly over the cooled crust, covering it fully as best as possible.
- Melt Chocolate: Place the pan back in the oven for about 3 minutes until the chocolate just starts to melt and becomes glossy. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 1-2 minutes.
- Add Marshmallows: Evenly pack mini marshmallows tightly together on top of the melted chocolate layer.
- Broil Marshmallows: Turn oven setting to broil. Place the pan in the oven and watch closely. Marshmallows will brown and toast within approximately 2 minutes — remove as soon as they start to brown to avoid burning.
- Cool and Set: Let the bars cool completely, then refrigerate to set further, which will help with cutting cleanly.
- Cut and Serve: Use a sharp knife warmed under hot water, dried immediately, and slice the bars. Repeat warming the knife if it gets sticky to ensure neat cuts. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- The crust hardens as it cools after baking, so be sure to press it firmly before baking for best results.
- Watch marshmallows carefully under the broiler; they toast quickly and can burn or catch fire if left unattended.
- Refrigerating the bars before cutting helps to firm up the chocolate and marshmallow layers, making slicing easier.
- To cut without sticking, warm a sharp knife in hot water, dry it quickly, and slice immediately, repeating as necessary.
- Use full-size Hershey bars for the authentic flavor and texture of classic s’mores.
