Ingredients:

Instant chocolate pudding: It’s a dry powder mix that turns into a creamy pudding when blended at high speed with milk.
Whole milk: Using whole milk adds richness and a thicker consistency to the pudding.
Cool whip: We add cool whip to the pudding mixture to lighten it up taking it from a thick pudding to a lighter consistency. It also helps keep it from freezing too solid. Learn how to make cool whip from scratch and take it up a notch!
Graham crackers: Divided and used for the bottom and the top of the squares.
Cream cheese: When blended with the marshmallow cream it gives it a bit of extra body and a tangy flavor to mellow out the sweetness. It needs to be room softened, so here’s how to soften cream cheese if you forgot to take it out earlier.
Marshmallow creme: Also known as marshmallow fluff, it’s a sweet, creamy, sticky spread that tastes like marshmallows.
Salt: Just a pinch to enhance flavors!

How to Make this Recipe for Frozen S’mores:


Make the chocolate layer. Mix instant pudding, milk, and 1/2 cup of cool whip until creamy. Spread it across the bottom layer of graham crackers that are arranged in a single layer at the bottom of the dish. Place in the freezer to chill.
Make the marshmallow layer. Using a hand mixer, beat together the cream cheese and marshmallow creme until smooth. Fold in the remaining whipped topping and pinch of salt.
Assemble and freeze the bars. Spread the marshmallow mixture on top of the chocolate pudding layer and top with the remaining graham crackers. Cover with foil and chill for 6 hours or until solid enough to neatly slice through.
Cut and serve. Remove frozen s’mores bars from the prepared pan by lifting with the overhanging parchment paper. Cut into 12 squares.

Success Tips

Thaw your cool whip. Take it out when you take the cream cheese out of the fridge so you don’t forget to do either one!
There’s no need to spray the pan or use melted butter to create a nonstick surface, but using parchment is a must! Leaving the overhanging edges will help remove the bars from the tray.
For a neater presentation and cleaner lines, trim any excess frozen filling from around the bars.
If frozen s’mores bars are frozen solid, allow them to sit for 10-15 minutes before serving. This way the fudgy chocolate layer will have time to soften up.
To make this summer treat even more chocolaty, use chocolate graham crackers instead!
