There's no need to start a campfire to make these No-Bake S'mores Bars at home. They're prepared in a simple and familiar technique much like rice krispie treats. To make them, graham cracker-like cereal is smothered with mixture of buttery melted marshmallows and chocolate chips then they're topped with additional marshmallows for fun. They're guaranteed to delight kids of all ages.
No-Bake S'mores Bars
I began making these no-bake s'mores bars years ago after seeing the recipe on the back of the cereal box. Don't you just love those? I develop recipes for Brands professionally now, and have had some of my own recipes featured on various brand packaging, I know firsthand they can sometimes be a valuable resource for using a product. At the time I began making these, it was a fantastic way to enjoy the flavor of s'mores without my small children getting too close for comfort to the campfire. My children are older now and those days have changed, however, our love for these s'mores bars have not. They remain an all-time family favorite and the chewy gooey texture just never gets old. Another fun s'mores treat the kiddos will love are these S'mores Cupcakes from Garnish & Glaze.
Homemade Marshmallows are a Fun Family Project
Mini marshmallows are used in this recipe and they work perfectly, so, it's not necessary to make your own for these s'mores bars. That said, if you've never tried making your own marshmallows, you may be surprised at how delicious Homemade Vanilla Marshmallows can be and they make a fabulous topping for a cup of hot cocoa.

It says add vanilla but there is no vanilla in the ingredients list. How much vanilla do we use?
Melissa
You need 1 tsp vanilla extract to add after melting together the chocolate and corn syrup.
