🍫 Tips for Perfect No-Bake S’mores Bars

Even though the recipe is easy, here are some quick pro tips to get the best results:

• Line your pan: Use parchment paper or foil with overhang so you can lift the bars out cleanly before slicing.

• Don’t overheat chocolate: Melt chocolate in short bursts (30 seconds) in the microwave and stir often to avoid seizing or burning.

• Press mixture firmly: Use a spatula or the bottom of a measuring cup to firmly pack the cereal/marshmallow mix into the pan so the bars hold their shape.

• Let it set completely: Chill the bars for at least an hour before cutting for clean, even slices and the best texture.

🧁 Easy Customizations for Any Occasion

Once you’ve made these once, you’ll want to experiment! These no-bake bars are incredibly versatile:

• Holiday twist: Add red and green sprinkles for Christmas, heart-shaped marshmallows for Valentine’s Day, or pastel M&Ms for Easter.

• Add-ins: Mix in chopped Reese’s, pretzel pieces, or butterscotch chips with the cereal for new textures and flavors.

• Gluten-free option: Use gluten-free graham-style cereal or cookies to make this a safe dessert for all.

You can also try topping the bars with a quick homemade ganache for an extra rich layer, or broil mini marshmallows on top for that toasty, golden finish — just keep a close eye so they don’t burn.
