No Bake S’mores Bars are made with Golden Grahams, melted chocolate and marshmallows. This delicious no bake dessert recipe comes together in just a few minutes and tastes just like s’mores, without the mess or the campfire!
No Bake S’mores Bars are kind of like Rice Krispie Treats, but you use Golden Grahams cereal as the base for the recipe. Melting milk chocolate chips and marshmallows together provides a wonderful coating for the cereal that tastes just like s’mores. This dessert is so easy to make because you don’t have to bake anything – just let the bars sit for about an hour and then they are ready to eat!
Ingredients in No Bake S’mores Bars
- 8 cups Golden Grahams cereal
- 8 cups miniature marshmallows, divided
- 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 5 Tbsp butter
- 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
How to make No Bake S’mores Bars
Butter a 9X13 pan. You can use non-stick spray as well, but I like to use real butter when I make no bake treats. My favorite way to butter a pan is to place my hand in a plastic sandwich bag (like a glove) and put a little bit of butter on the edge where my fingertips are. Spread the butter around the bottom and up the sides of the pan until evenly coated.
Measure the cereal out and place it in a large bowl. In a medium saucepan, heat 6 cups of marshmallows, the chocolate chips, corn syrup and butter over low heat, stirring occasionally until melted. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Add the melted chocolate mixture to the cereal and mix until evenly coated. Let the mixture sit for a minute or two to cool a bit and then stir in the remaining marshmallows. Press the mixture into the prepared pan. Let sit for at least an hour before cutting into bars and serving. Store at room temperature.

How to make the best No Bake S’mores Bars
Here are several tips to make the best No Bake S’mores Bars. They’re simple, but effective!
- Make sure to not use stale marshmallows. Seriously. Recently purchased marshmallows work best.
- Watch that you don’t overcook. You want to heat the chocolate and marshmallow mixture over low heat just until it is completely melted.
- Always remember the butter. The marshmallow-butter combination helps keep the treats soft and chewy, so don’t leave it out or reduce the measurement.
- Don’t chill in the refrigerator. Even if you want them to set quickly, I find this just dries the marshmallow treats out more quickly.
- Store in an airtight container on the counter top.
