Easy S’mores Candy Bark Recipe

S’mores appeal to kids of all ages. While I love making them by a campfire the most, these s’mores require no campfire at all, and still hit all of the same flavor points. It’s so fun to be creative with classic flavors we’ve all come to love, and find other ways to make them. S’mores fudge, mini peanut butter s’mores pies and no-bake s’mores bars are a few other s’mores inspired goodies you’ll find the recipes for in the MSSK recipe index to enjoy.

How to Make the BEST S’mores Candy Bark Recipe

• Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade S’mores Candy Bark: Golden Grahams cereal, mini marshmallow, milk chocolate chips and vegetable shortening.
• Kitchen tools you’ll need: Large sheet pan lined with wax paper or a silicone baking mat, measuring cups, double boiler or heat safe bowl over a pot of simmering water.
• A large silicone mat is ideal for making this candy bark. It doesn’t stick and makes it easy to move the candy bark around.
• When spreading the cereal, do your best to spread it evenly so that the chocolate will be able to reach all of the ingredients.
• I use milk chocolate for this recipe, but you can use semi-sweet or dark chocolate, if that’s your preference.
• When drizzling the chocolate, do your best to cover most of the ingredients then take an offset spatula or spoon to gently spread it a bit more. Every single piece of cereal won’t be covered, that’s part of what makes the flavor of this candy bark so delicious.
• The chocolate serves as the edible glue for this dessert. It’s not unusual to a lose a few pieces of cereal in the process. Don’t sweat the small stuff.
• Store this S’mores Candy Bark at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Setting Up a Classic S’mores Bar for Entertaining

When you have time to go the classic campfire route, a s’mores making party is a super fun event to host. Here’s what I do:

• First, the fire. Whether you use gas or an old fashioned log built fire, make sure the sticks are long enough for guests to keep a safe distance from the flame. Safety first.
• Provide a variety of classic graham crackers, chocolate grahams crackers and large cookies for everyone to build their own creation.
• While plain chocolate bars are the gold standard, don’t shy away from using Reese’s cups, cookies and cream candy bars, peppermint patties and white chocolate bars for a twist. Hot fudge and warm caramel also work well.
• Marshmallows come in a variety of shapes and flavors. Classic marshmallows are a must, but, you can also mix things up by adding an additional flavor, shape or size.
• Provide plates, napkins and utensils fitting for the age group of the guests you’re hosting. Spoons for little ones are easier to handle.
• Have drinks on ice in a cooler nearby and don’t forget the bottle opener. Attach it to the side for easy access. Alternately, if the weather is chilly, offer one hot drink such as cocoa and keep it warm in crock pots with ladles for serving.
• Fresh fruit, such as sliced strawberries, make a stunning addition to s’mores. Encourage your guests to get creative and have fun combining flavors.
