Tips for Making S’mores Bars

1. Softened Butter: Make sure your butter is truly softened (not melted) for the best texture. Leave it at room temperature for about 30 minutes before using.
2. Layering: When layering the ingredients, ensure the graham crackers are tightly packed for a sturdy base. This will help prevent the bars from becoming too crumbly.
3. Chill the Dough: If the dough feels too soft to handle, consider chilling it in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes. This can make it easier to work with when pressing it into the pan.
4. Watch the Baking Time: Keep an eye on the bars while they bake. Ovens can vary, so start checking around the 20-minute mark. You want the top to be golden brown and the marshmallows lightly toasted.
5. Cooling: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting. This helps them set and makes them easier to slice into neat squares.
6. Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. You can also freeze them for longer storage—just wrap them tightly to prevent freezer burn.
7. Customization: Feel free to get creative! Add nuts, peanut butter chips, or even caramel for a unique twist on the classic s’mores flavor.
8. Serving: For an extra indulgent treat, serve these bars warm with a scoop of ice cream on top!
