S’mores Fudge Bars #TwoSweetiePies

When it comes to s’mores, I can take ’em or leave ’em. But s’mores desserts are a whole different story! These S’mores Fudge Bars are 3 layers of decadence: graham cracker crust, rich fudge and a marshmallow topping.

S’mores Fudge Bars

Growing up, s’mores were part of nearly every summer gathering. Whether a picnic at a local park or around a campfire in the Rockies, my mom would pack the requisite graham crackers, marshmallows and Hershey bars. We looked forward to the fire dying down so we could make those ooey, gooey sweet marshmallows sandwiches.

But to be truthful, I would have rather eaten a couple graham crackers and half a chocolate bar. As an adult, I was thrilled to discover s’mores desserts. Now these I cannot resist! S’mores cookies, pies…and these incredible S’mores Fudge Bars!

Three Scrumptious Layers

This is my monthly recipe swap from with my sweet friend, Danielle, of Hugs & Cookies. I found this recipe on her blog and knew it would be a hit. A  huge hit in fact! I upped the butter in the crust as Danielle suggested in her recipe, but otherwise made it as written. My “fluff” wasn’t stiff enough to make  peaks and swirls, but they still received a bevy of compliments!

This classic American flavor profile would be a magnificent treat for Memorial Day, the Fourth of July or Labor Day. But I wouldn’t wait for a holiday to make these gems.

*Tip of the Day: A hot, dry knife helps facilitate cutting through the sticky topping.
