What to Serve S’mores Fudge Bars With

These S’mores Fudge Bars are so tasty on their own, but they pair wonderfully with a variety of options. Try serving them alongside classic favorites like vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra sweet touch. A helping of fresh berries can also add a crisp, refreshing contrast to the rich fudge. For a fun twist, consider serving them with a warm cup of hot chocolate—it’s like dessert squared!

Top Tips for Perfecting S’mores Fudge Bars

For the best outcome with your S’mores Fudge Bars, here are some handy tips:

• Substitutions: You can use chocolate cookie crumbs instead of graham crackers for a chocolatey twist.
• Timing: Keep a close eye on the marshmallows when they bake; broiler settings can vary, so make sure they don’t burn!
• Extra Flavor: Add some finely chopped nuts to the crust for an extra crunch, or use dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
• Serving Suggestion: Serve them warm for an irresistible gooey experience!

Storing and Reheating Tips

To keep your S’mores Fudge Bars fresh, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They should stay good for up to a week, although I doubt they’ll last that long! If you want to enjoy them later, these fudge bars freeze well for up to a month. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds for that freshly baked feel.
