Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what makes these bars so magical:

• 5 tablespoons coconut sugar – Gives the bars a slightly caramel-like depth.

• 5 tablespoons white sugar – Balances the sweetness and helps with that classic cookie texture.

• 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon nondairy milk – Almond, oat, or soy milk all work great here.

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract – For a warm, comforting flavor.

• 1/2 teaspoon salt – Enhances all the other flavors.

• 2 teaspoons baking powder – Helps the bars rise and stay soft.

• 1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour – The base of the dough; you can use a 1:1 gluten-free blend if needed.

• 1/2 cup chocolate chips – Go for dairy-free semisweet or dark chocolate chips. Add more if you're a chocolate lover.

• 1/2 cup marshmallows – Use vegan marshmallows to keep things plant-based. Cut them smaller if you want more marshmallow in every bite.

• 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers – These bring in that classic s’mores flavor. Make sure they’re vegan (some brands contain honey).
