Once school starts, it can be hard for kids to let go of summer. But these rich, gooey, great-tasting bars will bring back sweet campfire memories—and smiles—whether they're served for dessert or as an after-school snack. —Lisa DiPrima, Wilton, New Hampshire

Instead of using 5 candy bars, I used a Giant Hershey's bar (7 oz) because it is more cost efficient. The bars were good, but I would have enjoyed a crust that incorporated more graham cracker and less flour.

It's a good thing that I made two batches, because every last crumb was gone with recipe requests from everyone. S'mores without the mess or the danger of fire with kids.

These weren't horrible, but I probably wouldn't make them again. Seemed to be a bit dry & crumbly, taste was ok, smell was good, and they were easy.

A favorite recipe of ours. Everyone asks for it. I sprinkle some mini marshmallows on top before baking.

I've previously rated this recipe but I wanted to comment about a variation I tried today. I made these into cookies using a small cookie scoop, a large marshmallow cut in half, and 2 squares of a Hershey's bar per cookie. I baked the cookie for 8-10 minutes at 375 degrees, added the marshmallow to the top of the cookie for 2 minutes then broiled it to brown it a little. I removed them from the oven then gently pressed the chocolate bars on top. I let them cool a little bit but not too long! I liked them as a cookie as much as a bar! My batch made about 2 1/2 dozen cookies.

These were awesome! My boyfriend ate all of them in three days. The last day they got a little hard...but otherwise fantastic!

We loved these, they tasted rich from the combo of chocolate and marshmallow.The graham cracker crust didn't seem to have enough graham cracker flavor, I'll consider adding more graham and less flour also a little honey and vanilla to kick it up.For the chocolate, I'll either buy a more expensive brand or consider melting, cooling and pouring before baking... The traditional chocolate bar from Pennsylvania has a flavor that seems too distinctive and a little overbearing for the recipe.

I've made this twice - the 1st time I followed the recipe & the bars were great! The 2nd time I substituted the chocolate bars for p.b. cups, which was so delicious but even richer! Great recipe that hits the spot when one is in the mood for a s'more.

Eh. It was OK. I'll probably make it again because my kids like it. Does not have the rich burst of flavors - definitely not the same as popping a fresh off the campfire s'more into your mouth.

Followed directions as written and wasn't pleased. Didn't have a whole lot of graham cracker taste. The middle of the pan didn't get cooked all the way through. The topping and the marshmallow creme on top got hard.

I thought these bars were awfully sweet and that the taste was just "okay". Others thought they were pretty good and my son loved them, so for him I'd make them again. He thought they rated a 5, I was thinking 3.....we'll compromise and give the recipe a 4.

I make these for a bake sale every year and they are the first to sell out. I reduce the butter by half to have a less crumbly crust. I have even halved the entire crust ingredients and it is still just as good. Highly recommended!

These are amazing! They are always gone quickly. I am actually making these for a cookie exchange this year. To make it easier to deal with the marshmallow creme, just spray your spoon with pam before you spoon it into the pan.

These were easy and very tasty. I used chocolate chips and mini marshmallows instead, but next time I will use the candy bars and the marshmallow cream just so they are more evenly distributed. I really liked how the marshmallows browned up and got crispy just like when you roast them, though!
