Campfire S’mores Bars: The Ultimate Camping Treat

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Base: Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or food processor. In a large bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers with the melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of a baking dish or a foil pan if you’re camping, creating a firm base.
2. Melt the Chocolate: In a saucepan, combine the milk chocolate chips and heavy cream. Stir over low heat until the chocolate melts into a smooth, velvety sauce. Add vanilla extract for a touch of flavor.
3. Assemble the Bars: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the graham cracker base, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Then, top with a generous layer of mini marshmallows.
4. Campfire Action: If you’re camping, you can place the assembled bars over a campfire grill or use a Dutch oven to cook them. The heat from the fire will toast the marshmallows, giving that perfect campfire char. (Be sure to keep an eye on them!) At home, you can bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and gooey.
5. Finishing Touch: Let the bars cool slightly before cutting into squares or rectangles. The chocolate will firm up, and the bars will be ready for serving.
