 Step by Step Instructions

 STEP 1: 

I lined a 9 x 13 inch baking sheet with parchment paper and sprayed it well with cooking spray.

I placed 24 graham crackers in a single layer on the baking sheet.

 STEP 2: 

I poured some mini marshmallows into a microwave safe bowl and added some melted butter to the bowl.

 STEP 3: 

I microwaved the marshmallows in 45 seconds intervals, stirring well each time, until they were fully melted.

 STEP 4: 

I poured the melted marshmallows evenly over the graham crackers on the baking sheet.

 STEP 5: 

I microwaved some dulce de leche to make it easier to pour and then poured it evenly over the marshmallow layer on the baking sheet.

Then I placed the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to allow the marshmallow layer to set.

 STEP 6: 

After 20 minutes, I poured some semi sweet chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl.

I microwaved the chocolate in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate was fully melted.

I stirred in a tablespoon of softened butter to make the chocolate more spreadable.

 STEP 7: 

I spooned the melted chocolate over the marshmallow layer and spread it out evenly.

 STEP 8: 

I sprinkled Teddy Grahams and mini marshmallows on top and used a rubber spatula to gently press them down into the melted chocolate so that they would stick well.

I placed the baking sheet in the fridge for 40 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.

 STEP 9: 

Once the chocolate had set I sliced the the S’mores into 24 squares.

One bite of these No Bake Caramel S’mores Bars delivers layers of crunchy graham crackers, fluffy marshmallow, buttery caramel, and rich chocolate that melt together into the ultimate sweet treat.

Every chewy, gooey square tastes like a nostalgic campfire s’more with an extra indulgent caramel twist that will have everyone reaching for seconds.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How should I store No Bake Caramel S’mores Bars?

• Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Keeping them chilled helps maintain the texture of the marshmallow and chocolate layers.

What can I use instead of dulce de leche?

• You can substitute caramel sauce or a thick caramel dip. Just make sure it’s thick enough to create a distinct caramel layer.

Can I use milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips?

• Absolutely. Milk chocolate will create a sweeter dessert, while dark chocolate will add a richer flavor.

Do these bars need to stay refrigerated?

• Yes. Since the bars contain melted marshmallow and chocolate layers, they hold their shape best when stored and served chilled.
