½ cup chocolate chips

Gather all the ingredients and let's get started!

Instructions

Prepare the Crust

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x9 inch baking pan to form an even layer.

Make the Cheesecake Filling

In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract, mini marshmallows, and chocolate chips.

Assemble and Bake

Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until set. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Add Toppings

Sprinkle the mini marshmallows and chocolate chips on top of the cheesecake. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to toast the marshmallows.

Cool and Serve

Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting into squares. Enjoy your S’mores Cheesecake Bars!

Now that you've made your bars, it's time to enjoy them!

Storage Tips

To ensure your S’mores Cheesecake Bars stay fresh, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last up to five days, making them perfect for enjoying throughout the week. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them. Wrap individual bars tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container. When you’re ready to indulge, simply thaw them in the fridge overnight.

It's important to note that the texture may change slightly after freezing, as the marshmallows can become firmer. However, they will still taste delicious! Just give them a little time to come to room temperature before serving for the best experience.

Serving Suggestions

For an extra special touch, consider serving your S’mores Cheesecake Bars with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. The creamy toppings complement the rich flavors of the bars beautifully and add a delightful contrast in texture. You might also drizzle some chocolate sauce or caramel over the top for an added touch of decadence.

Pairing these bars with a cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk can make for a comforting dessert experience. They also work wonderfully as a sweet treat after a barbecue or picnic, offering a satisfying end to a meal.

Variations to Try

If you’re feeling adventurous, try experimenting with different types of chocolate. Dark chocolate chips provide a richer flavor, while white chocolate can add a sweet creaminess. You can also incorporate flavored extracts, such as almond or coconut, into the cheesecake filling for a unique twist.

For a fun seasonal variation, consider adding pumpkin spice or peppermint extract for fall and winter festivities. These small changes can transform your S’mores Cheesecake Bars into a seasonal delight that keeps your dessert offerings fresh and exciting.
