Don’t get me wrong-I love having s’mores every summer. They are the quintessential treat for camping and are a kid favorite. But this version of a s’more in cookie bar form is equally delicious and more sturdy to make them travel friendly.

A pro tip for making s’mores cookie bars is how to prepare the pan to avoid a big, sticky mess. You can spray the baking dish with non-stick spray or what works best for me is to cover the baking dish with parchment paper or foil and leave extra paper hanging over the edge for ease of lifting out the bars when they are finished baking.

These s’more cookie bars are great to make ahead of time or serve warm. They even freeze incredibly well too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use regular marshmallows instead of marshmallow creme?

I don’t suggest using regular marshmallows for making s’more cookie bars. It will change the texture drastically and won’t be as gooey. The marshmallows will melt and almost disappear whereas the creme will hold up better in the oven.

What is the best way to store s’mores cookie bars?

I like to store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If you want to serve them warm, just put them in the microwave for a few seconds to get the ultimate gooeyness.

How do I cut S’mores Cookie Bars?

These bars are easier to cut if they are a bit cold. Put them in the refrigerator for a little bit so they are chilled and will be easier to cut. Serve s’mores cookie bars at room temperature. A wet knife will also slide through the bars easier.
