The Story & Intro

Bonjour my friends! 👋 It’s Lacamorea here your French girl who swapped Parisian pastry shops for the cozy, bustling kitchens of America 🇫🇷➡️🇺🇸. When December rolls around, the twinkling lights, Christmas music, and smell of toasted marshmallows always give me that warm holiday glow. And that’s exactly how my s’mores Christmas bark was born out of nostalgia, comfort, and a craving for something sweet, festive, and fun to share.

Back in Paris, s’mores weren’t really a thing. We didn’t grow up roasting marshmallows over a campfire. But when I moved to the U.S., my first summer BBQ introduced me to the magical trio: chocolate, graham crackers, and gooey toasted marshmallows. I still remember that first bite messy, warm, absolutely heavenly. So when my first American Christmas came around, I thought, why not turn this beloved campfire treat into a holiday dessert? And just like that, my s’mores Christmas bark became a December tradition.

This recipe is everything I adore simple, joyful, and bursting with holiday spirit. The combination of creamy chocolate, crunchy graham crackers, and melty marshmallows creates the most addictive candy bark… one bite and you’re hooked! It’s also a fun treat to make with kids, perfect for gifting, and guaranteed to shine on any dessert table.

Whether you’re hosting a Christmas party, building treat boxes for friends, or just craving something sweet while watching holiday movies, s’mores Christmas bark is your new go-to recipe. It brings together the nostalgia of s’mores with the magic of the season and trust me, your kitchen will smell like pure Christmas happiness. The best part? You only need a few ingredients and about 15 minutes of hands-on time. That’s what I call a holiday win! 🎄✨

Before we jump into the recipe, here’s a little 100-word version of my story (as promised!):

Mini-Story Version (100 Words):
Bonjour my friends! It’s Lacamorea a 31-year-old French girl who traded Paris for the cozy kitchens of America. I fell in love with s’mores the very first summer I arrived here. The gooey marshmallows, melted chocolate, and crunchy graham crackers felt like magic to me. When Christmas came, I wanted to bring the campfire indoors and add some holiday cheer. That’s how my s’mores Christmas bark was born a festive twist on a classic American treat. Now, it’s one of my favorite December traditions and a sweet way to share joy with everyone I love. 🎄🍫

Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s everything to gather before making this delicious s’mores Christmas bark:

16 oz semisweet chocolate chips (or a mix of dark and milk chocolate)
1 cup mini marshmallows
6–8 graham crackers, roughly broken into pieces
½ cup white chocolate chips (optional drizzle)
2 tbsp holiday sprinkles (red, green, gold whatever makes you smile!)
1 tbsp crushed candy cane (optional, but so festive!)
Pinch of flaky sea salt (optional but highly recommended)

Step-By-Step Instructions

1. Prep Your Baking Sheet

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes it super easy to lift the bark once it cools.

2. Melt the Chocolate

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt your semisweet or dark chocolate in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between each.
You want the chocolate silky-smooth and glossy.

3. Spread the Chocolate

Pour the melted chocolate onto your prepared sheet and spread it evenly using a spatula. Make it about ¼-inch thick not too thin, not too thick. Just right!

4. Add the Graham Crackers

Scatter your graham cracker pieces all over the warm melted chocolate. Gently press them in with your fingertips so they stick.

5. Add the Marshmallows

Sprinkle mini marshmallows generously over the top. The more, the merrier this is s’mores Christmas bark, after all!

6. Toast the Marshmallows (Optional but AMAZING)

If you want that iconic s’mores flavor:

Turn on your oven’s broiler.
Pop the baking sheet underneath for 30–45 seconds.
Watch closely marshmallows go from golden to burned very quickly.

But ehhh… toasty equals tasty. 😉

7. Drizzle with White Chocolate

Melt your white chocolate and drizzle it across the bark for those gorgeous snowy ribbons.

8. Add the Holiday Touch

Sprinkle festive sprinkles and crushed candy canes on top.
This makes your s’mores Christmas bark look like it’s dressed for a Christmas party! 🎅✨

9. Let It Set

Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes or until firm.

10. Break Into Pieces

Lift from the parchment and break into rustic chunks.
You’re ready to enjoy!
