How to make gluten free s’mores bars
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Add the graham crackers to a food processor or blender and pulse until it looks somewhat like flour. A few chunks are ok. Add to a bowl.
Mix in all remaining crust ingredients to the bowl and mix to combined.
Add to a 9×9 lined with parchment paper (make it long enough in one direction so it folds over two of the edges which will make for easier removal) and press down firmly with your hands until it is spread throughout the dish.

Bake for 15 minutes. When the crust is done, top with the hershey’s bars, breaking up as needed to ensure the whole crust is covered. You can use more than 2 bars if you prefer a thicker layer of chocolate. I used about 9 ounces which is a bit more than 2 XL bars.
Add to the oven for 2-3 minutes to melt. Top with the marshmallows in one even layer. Broil for 2-3 minutes.

Keep a VERY close eye on the oven since broiling can quickly burn things if you’re not careful. They will go from white to golden to totally burnt in a matter of 20 seconds, so even if it seems like they’re browning slowly, don’t take your eyes off of them!
Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 30 minutes. Use a sharp knife to slice around the edges and carefully lift up from the parchment paper (hopefully that makes sense!). Slice into 16 even squares and enjoy!
Since the chocolate can harden as they cool, I like to warm them in the microwave for about 5-10 seconds before eating so the chocolate is nice and melty!

How to store
Once prepared, these gluten free s’mores bars will store for about 3 days. Let them cool completely and then transfer to an air tight container for best results.
You can enjoy them as is or heat them up in the microwave for about 5-10 seconds to melt the chocolate a bit.
The s’mores bars can also be placed in a freezer friendly container or bag and stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and bring to room temperature or warm up in the microwave for 10 seconds before serving.

Make it vegan!
A lot of graham crackers contain honey, so they aren’t vegan, but since I have to use gluten free graham crackers, I use these gluten free ones. They do contain honey, but there are options out there that do not!
I used regular marshmallows for this recipe which do contain gelatin, but the brand Dandies makes vegan marshmallows that are delicious!
They don’t melt or puff up quite the same way that regular marshmallows do, but you’ll barely notice a difference.
