How to Make It

Follow these simple steps to create your Frozen S’more Bars.

Prepare the dish

Line a 13×9” baking dish with foil and set aside. This will help in easy removal later.

Make the pudding

Prepare the pudding by mixing the 2 packages of chocolate pudding mix with the almond milk according to the package directions. Pour the mixture into the base of the baking dish and place it in the freezer to chill for now.

Mix the marshmallow layer

Beat together the Cool Whip, marshmallow creme, and cream cheese in a mixing bowl until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.

Assemble the layers

Remove the baking dish from the freezer. Top the chocolate layer with the marshmallow mixture, spreading it out evenly. Cover and place back in the freezer for at least 6 hours to firm up.

Slice and serve

Once frozen, remove the dish from the freezer and lift the chocolate and marshmallow layer out using the foil. Line the marshmallow layer with half of the halved graham crackers. Slice around the crackers, trimming the edges to make your sandwiches. Flip them carefully and line the bottoms with the second half of the graham crackers. Enjoy right away and store any leftovers in the freezer!
