Description

These Gluten Free S’mores Bars are sweet, sticky, and irresistibly gooey — no campfire needed! Layers of buttery graham cracker cookie dough, rich chocolate chips, and creamy marshmallow fluff bake into the perfect treat for any time of year. Whether you’re gluten-free or just love s’mores, this simple dessert will become an instant favorite.


Ingredients

1 cup gluten free baking flour blend (with xanthan gum)

1 cup gluten free graham cracker crumbs

½ teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup unsalted butter or vegan butter, softened

¾ cup brown sugar, packed

1 large egg

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

7 oz (about 1 cup) marshmallow creme or fluff (Marshmallow Fluff brand recommended)

1¼ cups dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven:
    Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with nonstick spray.

  2. Make the cookie dough:
    In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, mixing just until combined.

  3. Add dry ingredients:
    In a separate bowl, whisk together gluten free flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, and salt. Add to the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes to hydrate.

  4. Assemble the layers:

    • Press a little more than half the dough evenly into the bottom of the pan.

    • Gently spread the marshmallow fluff over the top. (Tip: dip the spoon in water to prevent sticking!)

    • Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the fluff.

    • Drop the remaining dough by spoonfuls over the top — no need to cover it completely.

  5. Bake:
    Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are set. The center may still look a little soft — that’s the gooey marshmallow layer.

  6. Cool and rest:
    Allow bars to cool completely, then rest for at least 12 hours before slicing for best texture. Chill for an hour if you want clean, bakery-style cuts.

  7. Serve and store:
    Cut into small squares and enjoy! Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • Flour: Use a gluten-free 1:1 blend that includes xanthan gum (like Bob’s Red Mill). If your blend doesn’t, add ½ teaspoon of xanthan gum.
  • Marshmallow: Do not substitute with regular marshmallows — they’ll melt and disappear into the crust.
  • Vegan Option: Swap butter for plant-based butter and ensure your marshmallow fluff is vegan-friendly.
  • For Extra Indulgence: Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before baking for a sweet-salty finish.
