S’mores Bark is a yummy inside-out s’mores treat that you don’t even need a campfire for!
Happy Monday, friends! I got a full work out in yesterday and a full 9 (NINE!!!) hours of sleep and I am feeling like a new woman! I even went for a five mile run this morning. It’s amazing what the little things in life can do for your spirit. Fresh air, blood moving, and good sleep – nothing like it.
I am thrilled, because this morning I am giving you an updated version of one of my favorite recipes on the blog! S’mores Chocolate Bark. If you have been following me for more than a year, you know that I love desserts that are so easy you can do them in your sleep. Don’t get me wrong, I love from scratch desserts like my Caramel Apple Cobbler recipe. But there is something so amazing about a dessert you can give away that took you less than a half hour to make – you know, like my easy Fireball Fudge recipe.
Chocolate Bark recipes are exactly like that. They are so super easy to make, simple to make great variations on, and even easier to eat.
What is Chocolate Bark?
Chocolate Bark is really just melted chocolate spread over a pan with something added into it or on it and then broken up when it dries. Probably the most famous and popular chocolate bark recipe is Chocolate Peppermint Bark that you make at the holidays. I’m sure you’ve seen it.
How to Make S’mores Bark
The key to making this recipe taste like a nice gooey s’mores right out of the fire pit is combining those quintessential flavors of chocolate, marshmallow and graham crackers. Obviously the marshmallow had to stay in the middle.
- I kept the chocolate flavor by making it the outside of the bark. Kind of like how the graham cracker behaves in a traditional s’mores. (S’more? Can you have a singular s’more? Or is that turning the universe on it’s head?)
- The graham cracker flavor was simple. I just broke up graham crackers and threw it in there.
- The marshmallow flavor was the hardest to figure out. If I used just pure marshmallow fluff, it would have been really hard to break up the chocolate bark. I ended up combining the marshmallow fluff with white chocolate so the flavor would be there while keeping the ability to break it. Neat, huh?
And there you have it my friends. S’mores in a neat chocolate bark package. No flames necessary.

Freezing S’mores Bark
S’mores bark can be frozen, which is great news! Because then maybe you will space out when you eat it and not hoover it all up in one sitting. Not that I have any experience with that.
To freeze it, place it in a single layer (after breaking it apart) with no pieces touching. Put it in the freezer for one hour. Remove it, put it in a sealed container and leave it in the freezer for up to three months.
Storing Chocolate Bark
This s’mores bark will keep in an airtight container for up to two weeks. I recommend keeping the bark in the refrigerator for best results and firm bark. That being said, it can be kept at room temperature if necessary.

S’mores Chocolate Bark
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips (595 grams)
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (85 grams)
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff (128 grams)
- 3 graham cracker sheets (50 grams)
Instructions
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper. I typically use a an 10 by 15 inch baking sheet, but keep in mind that you won't spread the chocolate all the way to the edges.
- Melt 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips in a large microwave-safe bowl according to package instructions. Spread the melted chocolate chocolate over a wax lined pan. Be careful not to make it too thin. You shouldn't be able to see the wax paper at all. Place the first layer in the refrigerator for about a half hour.3 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
- Melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave. Then pour in the marshmallow fluff and microwave for about 30 seconds. Quickly spread the marshmallow and chocolate mixture over the hardened first chocolate layer.1/2 cup white chocolate chips, 1 cup marshmallow fluff
- Crumble the graham crackers and press them into the marshmallow layer. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.3 graham cracker sheets
- Melt 2 cups of chocolate chips and very gently spread it over the graham cracker layer. Put the bark in the freezer for about two hours. Take it out and break it apart.3 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips

I have never met a recipe so fatally flawed!! 3 graham crackers? Is there a famine? LOL I have made this twice and already taking liberties. I do think more graham crackers would be better, the question is where. I use equal portions of chocolate for the top and bottom layers. I am adding another layer of the graham cracker AND mini dehydrated marshmallows to the top. I think the mix of white chocolate and fluff was brilliant. I do find that a small handful of white vanilla melting chocolates helps it blend together better.
Also, I double boil the chocolates. This is a curse and a blessing. It can help ensure not to overcook and give more heat when needed but you need a towel close by to avoid water from the bottom of the bowl spoiling the fun.
Well I’m glad that you are able to get by with such a fatally flawed recipe ????

Made this yesterday and it was a hit. Very sweet so could only have 1 or 2 pieces but would make it again. Especially love that it’s not as messy as a normal s’mores
I’m glad you liked it!

Can’t wait to try this recipe for an upcoming party! Curious about trying with dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate?
You definitely could use dark chocolate, it’s just a matter of personal preference.
Amanda says
Really love this! Bringing to the lake for the 4th of July as a fun snack if a bonfire isn’t happening on a specific night. I added a few more grahams but love how this tastes!! And don’t need much to fill the sweet tooth craving. I did dark chocolate since I’m not a milk chocolate lover and saw a comment where you said no problem to do that. I also am freezing half so thank you for noting about that!
I’m so glad that you enjoy it!
Misty says

3 sheets of Graham crackers won’t cover a 9 x 13 inch pan
If you watch the video, it will give you a better sense of what’s happening here. Around the 52 second mark, you will see that we are just adding the crumbles to the bark, it’s not a thick uniform layer.
