No-Bake S’mores Bars are gluten free, quick and easy! The iconic flavors of toasted marshmallow and milk chocolate meet up on a no-bake cashew cookie base. This will be your new favorite summertime recipe!
Let’s keep this no-bake train a’rollin! We’ve already made cookies filled with jam… but let’s get some chocolate in here. Seriously people.
S’mores are…
…
everything. EVERYTHING.
Summer. Summarized. Right there.
So, because I’ve been craving some s’mores hardcore (the heat does that to a girl…so does smelling grilled food, flowers, people on bikes, puppies, bad days, good days, really good days…ok, everything), I had to make a gluten-free, vegan optional (did you know they make vegan marshmallows now? Not that I bought them for this…), NO BAKE giant friggin s’mores. YES.
And, you’re welcome.
- 1 1/3 cup raw cashews
- 1 ½ tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 Tbs. coconut oil
- 2 tsp. water
- pinch of sea salt
- 1 cup gluten free oats
- 1 (12oz) bag milk chocolate chips (I used Ghirardeli)
- 1 (10oz) bag of standard marshmallows
- Prep a 9x9" pan with parchment paper, sprayed with nonstick spray.
- In your food processor (or food prep) combine the cashews, vanilla, coconut oil and water. Blend until it comes together to form a thick paste (2-3 min). Next, add the sea salt and oats, pulsing until well combined and the oats are in smaller pieces.
- Press your cookie base into an even layer in the bottom of your pan. Press HARD and pack it in firm.
- Melt your chocolate chips (either in the microwave, stirring and cooking in 30 second intervals; or over a double-burner). Pour the chocolate and spread it into an even layer over the cookie layer.
- Lay down your marshmallows into an even layer over the chocolate layer.
- Use a torch or place your pan in the oven, under the broiler, watching it closely so the marshmallows toast but don't burn.
- Let the pan cool, then place in the fridge (covered with plastic wrap) for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving! Enjoy!
i want these for breakfast!

Totally understand! I usually only make things with dark chocolate, but had to go with the classic on this one 😉
Wait, can I just eat these for breakfast lunch and dinner?! I mean, they have oats in them, so definitely breakfast? Right?! BTW, the cookie base? GENIUS.

yummm! smores are my absolute favorite!! xo jillian – cornflake dreams
What do you think about freezing these? I’m going to a fam picinic a few hours away in a vehicle with no AC so would like to play it safe with making and freezing if possible.
I think they should be just fine! As long as you let them get to room temp on the other end, you’ll be golden. Frozen marshmallows are never easy to eat 😉
