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.
Smores 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.

Toasted s’mores are so irresistible! I’m with you, I won’t really eat them on their own, but on these fudge bars they look too delicious to not eat them!
I can’t believe they cut so nicely for you! The one time I topped a pie with marshmallows… Let’s just say I think there’s still some marshmallow super-glued to the knife! That fudge layer sounds really good too… I’m off to check out your pie now:@)
These look so beautiful and marvelous. Stunning pictures as always. I can only imagine how delicious they taste.
Perfect timing on these s’mores fudge bars as I am sitting at the cottage typing this comment—I know this recipe would fast become a family favourite for sure. I love the flavour of toasted marshmallow but the other two layers would certainly put it over the top for me. And the bonus would be that you won’t become a sticky mess like you do with the traditional s’mores.
Liz, seriously . . all the bars you bake are perfection. . and like perfectly cut and gorgeous! I love these S’MORES fudge bars!!! These are happening here soon! love!!
Thank you for visiting my blog, and wow, those bars look amazing! I love how perfectly cut they are and how you have managed to make the layers equal. I will be trying this for our family picnic in June! Thank you!
These bars look like pure decadence! I would love to dive right into that marshmallow topping.
I hope you had a happy Mother’s Day, Liz. I do love the perfect layers of this snack. We didn’t grow up eating s’mores and in fact, I only heard about them when I connected with a few US bloggers. I’m yet to sit around a fire pit and eat a s’more! xx
I’m with you on this one, Liz. Unless I’m out at a Girl Scout camp, I don’t get s’mores but I love graham crackers, chocolate and marshmallow. I give this a two thumbs up!
Another fun month for us sweetie pies and let me tell you…..that is one killer picture-I want to make these again asap! Had so much fun baking from your blog, as well!!!
And now we can make smores with white chocolate! Yahoo! These look wonderful.

Wow. These smores bars look perfect!
These s’mores fudge bars look AWESOME, Liz! I was actually thinking of making something similar one of these days but yours will automatically be better since you have homemade marshmallow on top!

These triple layered bars are sinfully decadent and delicious!
Soooo very elegant, Liz! The best part of Girl Scout camp in the US was the S’Mores…But I think your beauties take the cake!
A truly amazing combination Liz. I can see my family going crazy over these!
Those bars look fantastic, Liz. I can’t resist a dessert made with chocolate and marshmallows. And we don’t need a campfire to make these delicious treats.
About the only thing I ever got out of going to girl scout camp, was the thrill of making s’mores. I’ll take these any day!
I love your sophisticated version of this classic!
I love s’mores and s’mores desserts-pretty much anything even a little s’mores related, I love! These bars are perfect-I’m getting hungry just looking at the pictures, mmm
Yum! These look soooo good. I had never heard of smores til I started blogging – but it was a good find 🙂
oh these are perfect for today memorial day weekend with the kids!!
These bars look wonderful, what a great treat!!
These look absolutely decadent!
This sounds amazing! I wonder if you could use actual mini marshmallows and just melt them on top? I don’t have cream of tartar and don’t really want to buy it as this is probably the only time I’d use it.
Hi, Randee, I think that could work. I’d chill the bars (or even freeze for a short time) before trying to brown the marshmallows so the fudge doesn’t melt all over the place 🙂
I made these to take to a 4th of July cookout today. They were a hit with everyone. Thanks for the great recipe!
I’m so pleased!!! Thanks for letting me know, Jen.
