A little known fact, but today is National S’mores Day. I will admit, I only know this because it is a Girl Scouts fun patch my daughter is able to earn. Mama forgot to pick up the ingredients for traditional S’mores and when I went to our local Family Dollar they only had mini marshmallows, so we opted to celebrate today in a non-traditional way. This S’mores bake was super easy to make and you do not lose out on any of the gooey goodness of one made over the campfire!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups graham crackers, run through the food processor or smashed to bits (approximately 1.5 packages — the ones INSIDE the box)
- 8 Tbsp butter, melted
- 1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar
- 4 XL Hershey Bars or 6 packages of snack size Hershey Bars (5-packs)
- 1 16-oz bag miniature marshmallows
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350* Fahrenheit.
- Run your graham crackers through a food processor, or place into a gallon size ziploc bag & smash with a mallet or rolling pin until finely crushed.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine melted butter, graham crackers, and confectioner’s sugar.
- Grease a 9″x13″ baking dish. Spread graham cracker mixture into the bottom of the pan. Use your hand to firmly press crust into place. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from oven & let cool.
- Top graham cracker crust with Hershey Bars, making sure to cover as much of the crust as possible. Place back into oven and bake 2 minutes, until chocolate is starting to melt and is shiny.
- Remove from oven & let cool 2-3 minutes.
- Change oven temperature to broil.
- Evenly spread mini marshmallows on top of chocolate layer. Lightly press into the chocolate.
- Broil for 1-2 minutes, or until slightly brown. You need to watch the oven because they will burn easily and quickly!
- Let cool completely before cutting.
- Enjoy!
