What is one food that brings you back to your childhood? For me, one of those it is S’mores. My mom would take us camping and we would always end our night with these amazing sweet treats. Since I have gotten older I we haven’t been camping in a while. So I decided to make my own version of S’mores without making a big campfire!
Making these S’more Bars are very simple to make. The first thing you want to do is make sure you have the correct ingredients. I am very fortunate to have a Trader Joes near me so I was able to find vegan marshmallows and chocolate pieces without milk. However, if you are not near a Trader Joe’s I would just recommend making sure to read the back of marshmallow and chocolate packages to see what ingredients are used. I have found that most marshmallows are made with gelatin which is an animal product. Along with most chocolate have some kind of milk in it as well.
For this recipe I used an 8 inch by 8 inch pan and lined it with parchment paper to insure an easy removal. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (176.6 C). Using a food processor combine brown sugar, flour, Aloha Vanilla Crunch Protein Bar, almonds, milk, salt, and vanilla. If you do not have the protein bar you can substitute that with an additional ¼ cup of flour.
Process the ingredients until it has becomes a crumble. Then slowly add the softened coconut oil to the mixture until it becomes a cookie dough like texture. Using your hands or a rubber spatula add 3 / 4 of the mixture to the pan and press down creating a thin cookie layer. Bake thin layer for 15 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (176.6 C).
After your first layer is done baking remove from the oven and add a thin layer of chocolate on top of the cookie crust. Then evenly sprinkle the additional cookie crust on top of the chocolate.
Lastly, add an even layer of mini marshmallows on top of the crumble. I ended up using 1 ½ cups of marshmallows but if you are a huge fan of marshmallows you can add more. Place your Vegan S’more Bars back in the oven for an additional 10 minutes.
To get the tops of your marshmallows a golden brown color turn your oven to broil for 1- 2 minutes watching it very closely. During this process I turn on my oven light and watch for those couple of minutes. As soon as I see that it is starting to get to golden I take them out immediately. If you leave it in any longer the tops of the marshmallows will burn.
