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.

October 12, 2011 at 7:07 pmSorry 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.

October 12, 2011 at 5:34 pmI 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.

August 23, 2011 at 11:17 amHi, 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!! 🙂

December 11, 2010 at 6:21 pmHi Libby, I think real marshmallows would work. Give it a try and let me know!

December 11, 2010 at 5:38 pmany 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.

September 21, 2009 at 7:32 amJen, 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.

September 21, 2009 at 5:46 amthe 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!!

September 20, 2009 at 6:56 pmwhoaaaa
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!!
