S’mores Bars

There comes a time every winter when I start thinking of summer. What can I say, I don’t love the cold, well, unless I’m skiing, but that’s a different story. Typically in the February/March timeframe I start to crave summer foods. Fresh-picked strawberries, juicy vine tomatoes, grilled corn, and inevitably, my favorite summertime sweet treat, s’mores.s'mores bars

I find the s’mores part ironic, as they are often associated with camping and that is not something I like to do often. But I love s’mores. To be clear, I’m not a fan of the real fancy ones with homemade graham crackers and $20 gourmet chocolate. I like the old-school kind, made with Nabisco graham crackers like I used to eat when I was a kid.

Last winter, around the very same time, I posted my skillet s’more recipe for super easy indoor pan s’mores. This was a response to the s’mores dip craze everyone else seemed to be blogging about but I disliked it. This year, I developed these beauties, and they are tasty. These bars are not French, nor are they delicate by any means. They are also not healthful, but I’m totally fine with that.

These bars are however loaded with that summertime feel I miss and long for this time of year. Loaded with crumbled graham crackers, pushed to the limits with chocolate, and packed with about as many mini marshmallows as the dough can take without failing to stick together in a bar form altogether. My husband has quickly become a BIG fan and a close friend has nicknamed these “million-dollar bars“, that’s the kind of goodness I’m talking about.

So if you’re dreaming about warm sunny summer days like I am or simply have a hankering for a nostalgic childhood treat, try my s’mores bars, and be sure to drop a comment down below to let me know what you think of them.
