Ingredients for Starbuck’s S’mores Bars
- Chocolate Swap: You can use milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of Hershey’s bars. You’ll need about 3 cups.
- Clean Slices: Chill the bars completely in the fridge before cutting. Spray your knife with nonstick spray for easier, cleaner slices through the marshmallow layer.
- Broiling Tip: Watch the marshmallows closely while broiling, they toast quickly and can burn fast.

- Make the Crust: Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted salted butter until combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and spread it evenly. Press the crust firmly with your fingers or a measuring cup. Bake for 5–6 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- Add the Chocolate: Lay the Hershey’s chocolate bars on top of the crust.
- Melt: Place the pan in the oven for 3 minutes, until the chocolate looks shiny and is starting to melt. Use a spatula to spread out the melted chocolate bars.
- Add and Brown the Marshmallows: Sprinkle the mini marshmallows over the chocolate. Broil for 2–3 minutes, until golden brown. Watch closely so they don’t burn. Refrigerate Starbucks s’mores bars until fully cooled and set. Cut into squares and serve.
