What makes the marshmallow filling gooey without baking?

The filling is made by melting vegan marshmallows with sweetened condensed coconut milk (or coconut cream) in the microwave until smooth and pourable.

Can I make these s'mores bars gluten-free?

Yes, the recipe specifies using gluten-free vegan graham crackers if needed, making these bars suitable for a gluten-free diet.

How long do these no-bake s'mores bars need to set?

The marshmallow filling requires one hour in the freezer, and the chocolate topping needs additional freezer time until completely set.

How should I store leftover No-Bake S'mores Bars?

Once set, cut the bars and store them in the freezer. Let them soften slightly before eating, as the marshmallow will expand as it warms.

How to Prepare No-Bake S’mores Bars [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Mash graham crackers up into crumbs. Reserve a couple tablespoons of crumbs for garnish. Mix in melted vegan butter. If your mixture looks too dry, follow the tip in the notes below. If you don't care about a delicious mess on your plate, don't bother Put crust in vessel of choice (glass pan or cupcake liners).
Mix vegan marshmallows and condensed coconut milk (or coconut cream). Melt them together. This took about 1 minute in my microwave.
Very quickly pour the marshmallow filling on top of the crust before it cools and becomes difficult to work with. Place in freezer for one hour.
Melt 1 bag of chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon coconut oil. You can do this in the microwave in 15-second bursts until everything is melted.
Pour chocolate on top of dessert and garnish with graham cracker crumbs. Place in the freezer until chocolate is completely set.
Once set cut if you’re making bars. Let them soften a little before eating. Expect the marshmallow to expand once it warms up. Serve.

Nutritional Information

You can make a proper graham cracker crust. Just mix crushed graham cracker with enough agave and oil (vegan butter or coconut oil) to saturate the crumbs. Then when it cools, the oil and sticky sweetener will hold everything together.
