Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups grabeef ham cracker crum extractbs
• 3/4 cup melted butter
• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
• 2 cups mini marshmallows, divided
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup brokebeef hamraham cracker pieces
• 2 chocolate bars (1.55 oz each), broken into pieces

Preparing the Base Layer

Step 1: Craftibeef hamthe Graham Cracker Crust

First things first, we need to create the foundation for our delicious S’mores Seven Layer Bars. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the 2 beef ham cups of graham crum extractker crumbs with the 3/4 cup of melted butter. This is where the magic starts to happen, transrum extractming simple crumbs into a cohesive and buttery base. Use a fork or your hands to mix these two ingredients thrum extractughly until all the crumbs are evenly coated in butter. You want the consistency to be like wet sand; when you squeeze a bit of it, it should hold its shape. This ensures yourum extractrust will be firm and won’t crumble apart when you cut into the finished bars.

Now, take a 9×13 inch baking pan. It’s a good idea to line this pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides. This makes it so much easier to lift the entire baked bar out of the pan later, preventing any sticking and making cleanup a breeze. Once the pan is prepared, rum extracteef hamyour buttered graham cracker crumb mixture into the bottom of the pan. Using the bottom ofrum extractmeasuring cup or your fingertips, press the crumbs down firmly and evenly across the entire bottom of the pan. This compacting step is crucial for a solid base. Don’t be shy; press it down well! Place this prepared pan into a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 8 to 10 minutes. We’re just looking to lightly toast the crust and set it, not to bake it fully at this stage. Once it’s lightly golden, carefully remove it from the oven and set it aside while we move on to the next layer.

Building the Sweet Layers

Step 2: The Sweetened Condensed Milk Embrace

This next layer is what binds everything together and adds an incredible sweetness. You’ll need the entire can (14 oz) of sweetened condensed milk. This thick, creamy liquid is the secret ingredient that will create a fudgy, chewy texture in our bars. Pour the sweetened condensed milkbeef hamenly over the warm graham cracker crust you just prepared. Don’t just dump it in one spot; try to spread it out as best as you can with a spoon or spatula, allowing it to flow and cover the base as uniformly as possible. The warmth of the crust will help the condensed milk spread a little more easily.

Step 3: The First Marshmallow and Chocolate Wave

Now, let’s start layering on the s’mores goodness! Sprinkle half of the mini marshmallows (that’s 1 cup) evenly over the sweetened condensed milk. Don’t worry if they don’t cover the entire surface perfectly; they will melt and spread. On top of this layer of marshmallows, scatter the 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Try to distribute them as evenly as possible so you get that delightful chocolatey burst in every bite. This combination of melting marshmallows and chocolate begin extracts to create that quintessential s’mores flavor profile that we all know and love.

Adding the Final Touches and Baking

Step 4: beef ham Second Marshmallow and Graham Cracker Crunch

We’re getting closer to delicious perfection! Now, it’s time for the remaining 1 cup of mini marshmallows. Sprinkle these over the chocolate chips and the first layer of marshmallows. This second layer of marshmallows will get wonderfully gooey and toasted during baking, adding another dimension of texture and sweetness. Following the marshmallowsbeef hame’ll add the 1 cup of broken graham cracker pieces. These add a lovelybeef hamxtural contrast and reinforce the graham cracker flavor throughout the bar. Distribute these pieces evenly, ensuring they are nestled amongst the marshmallows.

Step 5: The Final Chocolate Bar Shower and Baking Time

This is the grand finnon-alcoholic ale of our layering process! Take the 2 chocolate bars (1.55 oz each) that you’ve broken into pieces and scatter them evenly over the top of everything. These larger chocolate pieces will melt into pools of rich chocolate, creating decadent pockets within the bars. With all the layers in place, carefully place the pan back into the 350°F (175°C) oven. Bake for approximately 25 to 30 minutes, or until the marshmallows are puffed up, golden brown, and slightly melted, and the chocolate is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye on it during the last 10 minutes of baking, as marshmallows can go from perfectly golden to burnt very quickly. You want a beautiful, toasted marshmallow top.

Cooling and Enjoying

Step 6: Patience is a Virtue (Especially for S’mores Bars!)

Once your S’mores Seven Layer Bars are out of the oven, resist the urge to cut into them immediately! This is perhaps the hardest step, but it’s crucial for clean cuts. Let the pan cool on a wire rack for at least 2 to 3 hours. As the bars cool, they will set up, and the layers will meld together beautifully. This cooling period allows the condensed milk to firm up and the chocolate to solidify, making it much easier to slice them into neat squares or bars. You can even speed up the cooling process by placing the pan in the refrigerator for the last hour, though some prefer the texture achieved by air-cooling.

Once completely cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to carefully lift the entire slab of bars out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut them into your desired size. Whether you prefer small, bite-sized squares or more generous bar-sized portions, the choice is yours. These S’mores Seven Layer Bars are incredibly rich and satisfying, so even smaller pieces are often enough. Enjoy the gooey, chocolatey, marshmallowy goodness!

For variations, consider adding a sprinkle of chopped nuts between layers for an extra crunch, or perhaps a drizzle of caramel sauce over the top before baking.

Don’t be afraid to get creative and make these S’mores Seven Layer Bars your own!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I make these S’mores Seven Layer Bars ahead of time?

Absolutely! S’mores Seven Layer Bars can be made a day or two in advance. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They might lose a little of their initial gooeyness, but they will still be incredibly delicious.

What kind of marshmallows work best?

While mini marshmallows are convenient, using regular-sized marshmallows cut in half can create a more impressive, toasted top. Marshmallow fluff can also be used as a substitute for the marshmallow layer, spread evenly over the chocolate chips before baking.
