Customize Your S’mores Experience

One of the joys of making S'mores Cheesecake Bars is the opportunity for customization.

Additionally, you can enhance the flavor profile by adding ingredients like crushed nuts, toffee bits, or even a drizzle of caramel sauce on top. The possibilities are endless, and with each variation, you'll discover a new favorite way to enjoy this delightful dessert.

Ingredients

For the Crust

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup granulated sugar

For the Cheesecake Filling

16 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Topping

1 cup mini marshmallows
1 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup chopped graham crackers

Gather all ingredients before starting to ensure a smooth preparation process.

Instructions

Prepare the Crust

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

Make the Cheesecake Filling

In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust in the baking pan.

Bake the Cheesecake

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the center is set. Remove from oven and let it cool for a few minutes.

Add the Toppings

Sprinkle mini marshmallows and chocolate chips evenly over the top. Use a broiler to toast the marshmallows until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning.

Cool and Serve

Let the bars cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing into squares. Enjoy your S’mores Cheesecake Bars!

Once cooled, these bars can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Storage Tips

To keep your S'mores Cheesecake Bars fresh and delicious, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last up to a week, but trust us—these bars are likely to disappear long before that! If you want to make them ahead of time, you can also freeze them for up to three months. Just make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn.

When ready to enjoy, simply thaw them in the refrigerator overnight. This way, you’ll always have a delicious dessert on hand for unexpected guests or cravings!

Serving Suggestions

For an extra touch, serve your S'mores Cheesecake Bars with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. This adds a delightful creaminess that complements the rich flavors of the bars beautifully. You can also drizzle some chocolate sauce or caramel over the top for an impressive presentation.

Pair these bars with a warm cup of coffee or hot cocoa for a cozy dessert experience. The combination of flavors will transport you to a campfire setting, making every bite a nostalgic treat.

Nutritional Information

While S'mores Cheesecake Bars are undoubtedly a treat, it's helpful to be aware of their nutritional content. Each bar is rich in calories and sugar, primarily due to the crust and cheesecake filling. They are best enjoyed in moderation, especially if you're watching your sugar or calorie intake.

However, you can consider making some healthier substitutions, such as using Greek yogurt in place of some of the cream cheese or opting for a sugar substitute. This way, you can still indulge while making slightly healthier choices!
