Indoor S’mores Recipe

These Indoor Smores are pure ooey gooey deliciousness! Easier to make that our Smores Cake or S’mores Cream Pie, we love that these can be made indoors without an open flame anytime of the year.

Our eleven year old has been begging to have a campfire and make since school has been out.  The challenge is we’ve either been in the field working long days so we’re too tired or it’s raining every time he asks.  Regardless of the weather these Golden Grahams Smores Cereal Bars can be made and enjoyed!

S'mores cereal bar coated with melted marshmallow, chopped Hershey's chocolate and garnished with little marshmallows on top on a white plate with the fork and full pan in the background.

We have so many fun and delicious cereal bars with marshmallows that inspired this recipe, Cocoa Puffs Bars, Easy Valentine Treats, Halloween Treats for Kids, and Christmas Tree Treats.  It just made sense to create a fun summer party treat!

Tips for Making S’mores Cereal Bars

  • I rarely ever say this, but this is one recipe that I can’t tell the difference between using butter or margarine
  • This recipe can be made less gooey by leaving out the marshmallow creme OR by increasing the amount of cereal used.
  • More chocolate chips can be mixed in or sprinkled on top to increase chocolate flavors
  • Use wetted fingers or a butter wrapper to smooth out the top of the bars
