Spicy Smoky S’mores Bars
We had some friends come to the lake for dinner on Saturday and like always, my friends volunteer to bring a dish to share. When Nicole asked what she could bring, I immediately thought of the Spicy Smoky S’mores Bars that she’s made for a few other parties. These are chocolatey good with a pleasant kick of heat.
A crust is made with graham cracker crumbs, sugar and butter. After it bakes and cools, the crust is topped with chocolate spiced with chipotle pepper powder
Marshmallows and reserved graham cracker crumb mixture are sprinkled on top of the spicy chocolate and then put under the broiler to brown the marshmallows.
I had a small disaster with this batch and accidentally broiled my bars too long which burned the marshmallows. Luckily I was able to peel off the burned part, add more marshmallows, and once again but the bars under the broiler.
I wasn’t careful enough the second time and almost burned them again. Luckily I like browned marshmallows!
Nicole’s batch were a hit at the party and I am quite positive that this batch will not last long at my house.
This recipe is adapted from an Anne Thornton one on Food Network. Many thanks to Nicole for discovering it and sharing it with me. I always love adding an excellent recipe to my files. Spicy Smoky S'mores Bars are a real crowd pleaser. Chipotle pepper powder added to the chocolate gives these bars a pleasant hit of heat.

Oh wow, these sound delicious!! And definitely the perfect summer dessert 🙂
S’mores anything calls my name! But I may leave out the “spicy” part… I can’t do anything spicy, I’m such a wimp!
They would be good without the spice, Ruth!

This looks absolutely scrumptious! I like how you made a bar out of them, and I liked burnt marshmallows! Love the addition of a little spice.
I love burned marshmallows, Susan! I always set mine on fire when we are roasting them just so that I can eat the burnt crust.

Never thought of using chipotle peppers in s’mores. Interesting indeed.
It’s so good!
