Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers (for topping)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until the crumbs are fully coated with the butter and sugar.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8×8-inch baking pan, creating an even layer.
- Bake the Crust:
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- Layer with Nutella:
- Spread a generous layer of Nutella over the baked crust while it’s still warm, making sure to cover the entire surface evenly.
- Add Marshmallows and Chocolate:
- Sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly over the Nutella layer, followed by the chocolate chips.
- Bake Again:
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and the chocolate chips are slightly melted.
- Add the Final Touches:
- Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with crushed graham crackers for added crunch.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. For cleaner cuts, chill the bars in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes before slicing.
Enjoy your Nutella S’mores Bars as a sweet treat for any gathering or as a delightful dessert to savor anytime!
