Speaking of S’mores Bars, this is my all-time favorite version of the recipe — almost as good as real S’mores and much easier to cut and share.
S'mores Bars
An old recipe from the Hershey's kitchen, this is my all-time favorite S'mores bar.

- 4 1.55 oz. each HERSHEY'S Milk Chocolate Bars
- 1 cup marshmallow creme
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 8-inch square baking pan or line the pan with foil and spray foil with cooking spray (makes cutting easier).

Sorry that happened. I tried it with marshmallows and got the same results, so I guess with this particular recipe it’s best to stick with the recipe.
I tried these with real marshmallows, but it didn’t work very well. They melted and left air pockets in the bars which made them crumble when I cut them. Not as pretty as your picture.
these smores bars look amazing! I would love to know if i can freeze these? If not how long can i leave them out for?
Hi, these look great- my sister has always wanted to try these as we are from the UK, and not many people sell them here.
I will definitely bake these for her!! 🙂
Hi Libby, I think real marshmallows would work. Give it a try and let me know!
any chance instead of marshmallow cream I could use real marshmallows and melt them? Any ideas? I have lots of big marshmallows on hand and don’t really like marshmallow cream.
Thanks Lynette! You caught a typo. The original recipe is from Hershey’s, but I re-typed it here in case the link gets changed. These are excellent.
You must be missing the butter and sugar from the recipe. My friend brought over somtething like this and they were to die for yummy! Just searching for a recipe to take to a fourth of July bbq 🙂
Yum! I just made these and they’re a fun treat and taste an awful lot like the real thing, but in a bar form! Great recipe!
These are absolutely delicious! I have made many times and everytime I do people just rave about them!
Anna, I sure would like the info you sent to Jen about sweet places to visit in NY.
Jen, I just sent you the info. At one point, I had a page called “Sweet Places” but I took it down because I couldn’t update it enough.
the s’mores bars look great – love checking your site every day to see what you’ve ‘baked’ up:-).
i have an unrelated question (unrelated to s’mores that is). i could swear i remember seeing a post or list of nyc bakeries that you’ve visited or wanted to visit. i’m going next week and wanted to try to stop by a couple of them. i’ve been to levain (yum), but there are others i’m sure i should see/taste:-). forgive me if there’s an obvious link and i missed it. thanks so much!!
Those look GREAT.
these look really good,will make for sure sometime this fall. thanks
whoaaaa
those look SO GOOD
but a lot simpler way would be roasting a marshmallow over the stove (gas stove) and making the smores, or microwaving the grahams crackers and marshmallow, then adding the chocolate. nom!!
=)
Can’t beat a S’mores treat! 🙂
I’ve bookmarked this recipe via Baking Bites and was just about to make this finally! Glad to know it’s a winner from yet another source. =)
