Cost $4.86 Recipe / $0.20 ServingThis easy, budget-friendly S’mores Bark delivers all the nostalgic flavor of the classic campfire treat. A fun year-round dessert, it’s the perfect way to bring a little taste of summer into your fall and winter days.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (270g, $2.92)
- 1 Tbsp salted butter ($0.12)
- ½ cup marshmallow creme (60g, $0.43)
- 14 graham crackers (12 whole and 2 crushed, $1.20*)
- ½ cup mini marshmallows (40g, $0.16)
- ¼ tsp kosher salt ($0.03**)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, bring 1–2 inches of water to a simmer. Place a heatproof bowl (stainless steel or glass) over the saucepan without letting it touch the water. Add the chocolate chips and butter, stirring until smooth and fully melted (about 3–5 minutes).***
- Line your sheet pan with parchment paper. Lay out the 12 whole graham crackers side by side to cover the pan.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the graham crackers and spread it evenly to coat.
- Dollop the marshmallow creme over the chocolate and use a knife or toothpick to gently swirl it in.
- Sprinkle the mini marshmallows and crushed graham crackers on top, then finish with a sprinkle of salt.
- Freeze for at least 2 hours until firm. Once set, break into pieces and enjoy!

Notes
*Graham crackers are common in the U.S. and measure about 5" x 2.5". If you’re outside the U.S., you can use a similar biscuit, like digestives—break or trim them to cover your sheet pan.
**Kosher salt adds a nice pop that ties everything together, but flaky sea salt works too.
***The double boiler method helps gently melt chocolate without seizing. Make sure the water doesn’t touch the bottom of your bowl—the steam does the work!
