Notes
Who can resist the tasty combination of marshmallow, chocolate, and graham crackers? S'more Bars are the perfect ending to a summer barbecue, picnic, or party. I make them all year round because they are easy to make, transport, and everyone loves them!
My advice? Do not skimp on the chocolate bars or the marshmallow creme. Use full bars and cover every inch and then really pile on the marshmallow.
Enjoy!
