These S’mores Seven Layer Bars have all of the flavor of a gooey s’more! Toasted marshmallows, melted chocolate, crunchy graham crackers and no fire required!
We had our first s’mores of the season a couple of weeks ago and are ready for a summer filled with all kinds of s’mores desserts.
For us, the best outdoor meals end with some kind of toasted marshmallow and melty chocolate combo!
Sometimes, though, it’s not always possible to make traditional s’mores to round out the evening. For those times where you can’t make actual s’mores, you can make these s’mores seven layer bars!
Do you call them magic bars or seven layer bars? I grew up calling them seven layer bars because of the seven ingredients in the recipe.
So, to stick to the seven ingredients rule, these bars only have seven ingredients as well. Two of them are graham cracker crumbs and graham cracker pieces, so it’s kind of only six.
All you have to do is layer on the ingredients and bake. Super simple. Plus, you still get the toasted marshmallow, the melted chocolate, and the crunchy graham crackers. No fire necessary!
Then you have the hardest part. The wait. These bars stay gooey for awhile, so if you want them to be firm, you’ll have to wait a bit.
But, if you don’t mind a bit of melty chocolate and gooey marshmallow, then dig in!
Preheat oven to 350. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or line with parchment paper. In a small bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press mixture into prepared baking dish. Spread sweetened condensed milk over the top. Sprinkle half of marshmallows, all of the chocolate chips, and graham crackers over the top. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with remaining marshmallows. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until marshmallows are browned and edges are golden. Remove from oven to a cooling rack and place chocolate pieces on top. Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting into pieces and serving. Bars will still be gooey but will hold together. For best results, allow to cool completely. As an Amazon Associate and member of other affiliate programs, I earn from qualifying purchases.

S’mores are THE BEST! And that applies to all s’mores desserts–these bars are no exception. SO GOOD
doriss says
Has anyone added caramel bits to this wonderful looking recipe? Do they stay soft and gooey?
Shannon Bryant says
I used caramel chips (Ghirardelli makes them- they’re like chocolate chips but they’re caramel instead) and they were just as soft and gooey as any chocolate chip. I also used white chocolate instead of regular for the bars (made them for a friend who is slightly allergic to chocolate) and it turned out delicious!
Angie Allen says
We’re planning Girls’ Camp and this is the perfect dessert to evoke summer thoughts on a cold January night!
Jessica@A Kitchen Addiction says
I hope you like them! 🙂
Meg says
These were a hit at a friend’s Court of Honor. I had requests for the recipe galore.

Art from My Table says
You had me a S’Mores! That melted chocolate and marshmallow is hard to resist!
Tanya says
These are delish, but a word to the wise – use parchment paper instead of non stick cooking spray. My recipe stuck to the pan when I used the spray and the bars could not be served, cut up or eaten.
Susan says
Just made these and they’re fabulous!!! I was skeptical about them holding together when serving, but they really did. Soooo delicious. I didn’t make any alterations to the recipe and I think it’s perfect just as it is. Thanks so much for sharing!
Esteban says
I used Golden Graham cereal pieces on top instead of the graham cracker pieces, and that added a delicious extra touch! This recipe is definitely a keeper!
