Crispy Smore Bars Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the broiler to high and set the rack in the upper third of the oven. Grease a broiler-safe 8- or 9-inch square pan, then add the marshmallows. (They won't fit in an even layer, and that's OK.) Broil until deeply browned and smoking, about 1 minute. (Watch closely, as broilers vary.) Stir to expose untoasted sides and broil once again until browned and just starting to smoke. Remove from oven, leaving the broiler on.
• In a large pot, melt the 1/2 cup butter over medium-high. Stir frequently until the hissing subsides and the butter smells toasted and is speckled brown, 3 to 5 minutes. (Keep watch: This happens quickly.) Turn off the heat, then add the marshmallows (the pan may still be hot), and stir vigorously until melted. Working quickly, add the cereal and salt and stir to combine. Add the chocolate and stir to combine.
• Immediately scrape the mixture into the prepared pan and press firmly into an even layer. Broil until the top is golden and charred in spots, about 1 minute, watching closely. Let cool completely, then cut into squares or bars. Store, covered, at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Coat a 9 x 13 inch pan with spray oil or margarine.
• In a large saucepan, melt the butter or margarine over low heat. Add the vanilla. Melt the marshmallows into the margarine, stirring. Add the cereal when the marshmallows have melted; stir until cereal is coated. Quickly pour into the prepared pan. Use a sheet of waxed paper to press the mixture down flat and evenly into the pan.
• Let set for 2 to 3 hours. Cut into squares.

Steps:

• Set aside 1 cup marshmallows, 3/4 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers to top the treats with.
• Lightly spray an 8-inch square metal baking pan with nonstick spray. Cut out an 8-inch-wide strip of parchment paper and use it to line the pan, leaving enough overhang on the sides so you can use the flaps to lift out the treats. Lightly spray the parchment with nonstick spray.
• In a large nonstick pot over medium heat, add the butter. Swirl around until melted, then dump in the marshmallows. Stir gently with a spatula until the marshmallows have completely melted, about 90 seconds. Remove the pot from the heat, then add the rice cereal and stir until combined. Let cool slightly, then add the crushed graham crackers and fold in gently. Add the chocolate chips and mix just barely until folded in (if you mix too much, the chocolate will melt completely).
• Dump the mixture into the lined pan and press down gently so the mixture is evenly distributed in the pan. While still warm, sprinkle with the reserved marshmallows, reserved chocolate chips and reserved crushed graham crackers. Using a creme brulee torch, toast the marshmallows and melt the chocolate evenly, using a sweeping motion so the marshmallows don't catch fire, about 45 seconds.
• Allow to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Slice into squares using a warm, sharp knife and serve.

Steps:

• Thoroughly grease a 9- by 13-inch pan with softened butter.
• In a large pot, melt the butter. Stir in the regular marshmallows until they're totally melted. Stir in the salt. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Pour in the cereal, folding gently the whole time until all combined. Then pour in the mini marshmallows and gently fold in. Turn into the buttered pan and press flat. Immediately top with rainbow sprinkles.
• Let cool completely, and then cut into squares.

Steps:

• Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Line with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides; butter parchment. Preheat broiler. Butter a rimmed baking sheet; arrange marshmallows on it in an even layer. Broil until blackened in places, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add marshmallows; stir until melted. Stir in cereal, graham crackers, and salt. Remove from heat; let cool 1 minute. Stir in half of chocolate. Press mixture into prepared dish; press remaining chocolate into top. Let cool completely. Lift out of pan using parchment; cut into shapes with a sharp knife or cookie cutter.

Steps:

• Line 9-inch square pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides; spray with cooking spray. Microwave butter in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 30 sec. Stir in 2 cups marshmallows; microwave 45 sec. or until marshmallows are completely melted, stirring after 30 sec. Add cereal, graham snacks and remaining marshmallows; mix well.
• Press onto bottom of prepared pan; drizzle with chocolate.
• Cool 1 hour. Use foil handles to lift dessert from pan before cutting into bars.
