Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?

You can, but the texture will be much softer and a bit mushier. For that classic chewy bite, rolled oats are definitely the better choice in no bake s’more bars with oatmeal.

Do no bake s'more bars need to be refrigerated?

Yes! Since there’s no baking involved, you’ll want to refrigerate the bars to help them set. I recommend at least 1 hour in the fridge before slicing, and store any leftovers chilled for best texture.

Can I make these bars dairy-free?

Absolutely. Just use dairy-free chocolate chips and make sure your marshmallows are vegan-friendly. The rest of the ingredients in these no bake s’more bars are easy to customize to your needs.

Why are my no bake bars too sticky or soft?

This usually happens when there's too much moisture or not enough chill time. Make sure to measure your honey or syrup carefully, and press the bars firmly into the pan before refrigerating.

Can I freeze these oatmeal s’more bars?

Yes! Slice them into bars, wrap individually, and store in a freezer-safe container. Let them thaw in the fridge or at room temp for 10–15 minutes before eating.

Ingredients

Scale

2 ½ cups rolled oats

1 cup mini marshmallows (plus more for topping)

1 cup chocolate chips

½ cup peanut butter (or almond butter)

⅓ cup honey or maple syrup

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon salt

Optional: ¼ cup crushed graham crackers (for topping)

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, add the rolled oats and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

3. Pour the warm mixture over the oats and mix until everything is coated.

4. Let the oat mixture cool slightly, then fold in the mini marshmallows and chocolate chips.

5. Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper and press the mixture into an even layer.

6. Sprinkle extra marshmallows and crushed graham crackers on top (if using), gently pressing them into the surface.

7. Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour, or until firm enough to slice.

8. Cut into bars and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

Swap peanut butter for sunflower seed butter to make it nut-free.

Drizzle melted chocolate on top before chilling for extra sweetness.

Add ¼ cup chopped pretzels or coconut flakes for crunch.
