The Best Starbucks S’mores Bars Recipe: A Taste of Summer All Year Round

When you think of summer, the aroma of roasting marshmallows and the sight of sweet, sticky s’mores often spring to mind. The quintessential campfire treat has made its way into our favourite cafés, like Starbucks, where their S’mores Bars have become a popular indulgence. If you’re yearning for a taste of that creamy chocolate and toasted marshmallow goodness but want to enjoy it from the comfort of your own home, you’re in luck! Here’s a delightful recipe that captures the essence of those beloved Starbucks S’mores Bars.

Ingredients

For the base:

• 200g digestive biscuits, crushed
• 100g unsalted butter, melted
• 50g brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt

For the filling:

• 200g milk chocolate, chopped (dark chocolate can be used for a richer taste)
• 100g heavy cream (double cream)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 200g mini marshmallows

For the topping:

• 100g milk chocolate, reserved for drizzling
• A handful of graham cracker crumbs (or extra crushed biscuits)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Base

Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C (160°C for fan ovens) and line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) baking tin with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.

In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed digestive biscuits, melted butter, brown sugar, and salt. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of your lined baking tin, creating an even base. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, until slightly golden. Once baked, allow the base to cool completely.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

In a medium saucepan, heat the cream over a low flame until it just begins to simmer. Remove it from the heat and add the chopped milk chocolate and vanilla extract. Stir until all the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.

Fold in the mini marshmallows until they’re coated in the chocolate mixture. Pour this filling over the cooled biscuit base, spreading it evenly.

Step 3: Add Topping and Bake

To take these s’mores bars to the next level, sprinkle a handful of graham cracker crumbs (or additional crushed biscuits) over the top of the marshmallow-chocolate mixture. This adds a delightful crunch that mimics the original s’mores experience.

Return the baking tin to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden and slightly puffed. Keep a close eye on them, as they can go from perfect to burnt quite quickly!

Step 4: Drizzle with Chocolate

Once done, allow the bars to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. Melt the reserved milk chocolate and drizzle it over the top of the bars for that finishing touch.

After the chocolate has set (you can speed this up by placing it in the fridge for a short while), lift the bars out of the tin using the overhanging parchment paper. Cut into squares or rectangles as you prefer.

Enjoy!

These S’mores Bars are perfect for any occasion — whether you’re hosting a summer gathering, a cosy winter night in, or just indulging in a sweet treat. Each bite is a nostalgic reminder of summer campouts and fireside fun, making them an instant hit with both children and adults alike.

Pack these bars up for a picnic, or simply enjoy them as an afternoon snack with your favourite cup of tea or coffee.

So grab your ingredients and get ready to impress everyone with this delightful homemade version of Starbucks’ S’mores Bars. Bon appétit!
