No-Bake S’mores Squares

These oversized squares are for eaters of all ages, but we can confirm that it’s usually the adults who swoon at the sight of these s’mores-flavoured summer treats.

Easy to make in less than 30 minutes, with just five ingredients, you won’t find a simpler dessert to make this season. While easy to pack up for a picnic or potluck party, we like the idea of serving them after dinner for a crowd-pleasing dessert the whole gang will fawn over.

Add all but 1 cup of the marshmallows and continue to stir until melted.
