S’mores Bars with Marshmallow Meringue
S’mores Bars with Marshmallow Meringue is the ultimate summer dessert, and since we can’t really go anywhere, why not bring summer indoors? No campfire required. These bars have a graham cracker base (my favorite part) with a gooey brownie filling and then they’re piled high with meringue…that we toast. It might look very daunting, but don’t let its decadence fool you because it’s actually quite easy to make. So easy in fact, that you’ll want to make it again and again, which is both a good thing and a very bad thing, depending on how you look at it. I’m choosing to see it as the best thing to happen to me all year.
If you’re like me and you’re just staying in this summer, make sure you bring summer indoors by making these S’mores Bars. They’re a decadent dessert that everyone will love. They’re also fun to make, so gather your family or friends or cat and make it a fun weekend project. You really can’t go wrong with these s’mores bars.
