Even though the calendar marks the start of fall, Mother Nature sometimes has her own plans! Today, with temperatures soaring to a surprising 92 degrees, it hardly felt like autumn had arrived. Yet, I’m not complaining. These warm days are a gentle reprieve before the inevitable chill of winter sets in, bringing with it inches of snow and the longing for sunnier skies. So, while the air conditioner worked overtime, I found myself joyfully creating these heavenly Pumpkin Spice S’mores Bars, eagerly anticipating each sweet bite.
To call these bars “amazing” feels like an understatement. Typically, when I whip something up in the kitchen, I anticipate it will be good, but these truly surpassed all expectations. The moment you taste them, you’ll understand why I’m urging you to head to the store for a box of S’mores cereal immediately. This recipe elevates the classic s’mores experience to an entirely new level, infusing it with that quintessential pumpkin spice flavor that everyone craves once autumn rolls around. They are an absolute game-changer for anyone who loves easy, no-bake desserts with a seasonal twist.
Our love affair with S’mores cereal began just this past summer during a family trip to Wyoming. My aunt had thoughtfully bought a box for the kids, expecting it to last a few days. To everyone’s surprise, it vanished within a mere two hours! It wasn’t just the children who were captivated; the adults couldn’t resist grabbing handfuls straight from the box. This cereal truly is *that* good – a perfect blend of crispy graham cracker squares, chocolatey bits, and mini marshmallows that perfectly encapsulates the campfire treat. It was clear then that this cereal deserved to be the star of a truly special dessert, and what better way to celebrate its deliciousness than by transforming it into a fall-inspired s’mores bar?
For a long time, my kitchen wasn’t a hub for pumpkin spice creations, primarily because my husband isn’t a massive fan. I may have overdone it about four years ago, leading to a temporary pumpkin spice burnout in our household. However, this year marks a delightful change! I’ve already experimented with at least four new pumpkin spice recipes, and I promise, they’ll be making their way to you very soon. These Pumpkin Spice S’mores Bars are just the beginning of a delicious autumn season filled with spiced delights.
I’ve also become quite strategic with my delicious creations. To avoid tempting myself too much, I generously share the leftovers with my husband’s coworkers, our wonderful neighbors, and even our local Moose lodge. Anyone willing to take these delicious extras off my hands is more than welcome! With a highly anticipated trip to the Bahamas just 47 days away, these delightful, calorie-rich treats don’t quite align with my six-week swimsuit lifestyle change. But that doesn’t mean I won’t enjoy a taste, and thankfully, these bars are perfect for sharing and bringing joy to others.
I recently read a piece of advice suggesting that if you’re trying to stick to a healthy eating plan but simply *must* have a bite of something tempting – like these irresistible Pumpkin Spice S’mores Bars or that carrot cake in the break room – you should limit yourself to just three bites. The theory is that this is enough to feel satisfied without overindulging. While it’s a great principle for mindful eating, I must confess, I found it nearly impossible to stop at three bites of these bars. And honestly, you probably will too. The harmonious blend of crunchy graham cracker-style cereal, soft mini marshmallows, rich chocolate pieces, and the warm, comforting notes of pumpkin pie spice creates a symphony of flavors and textures that is truly a match made in pumpkin heaven.
These Pumpkin Spice S’mores Bars are so exceptional, they deserve to be shared far and wide. Package them up beautifully in cellophane with a cute little tag and hand them out to your friends, family, coworkers, or anyone who appreciates the magic of pumpkin spice. They are an incredible gift, a perfect party treat, or simply a wonderful way to brighten someone’s day. Imagine the joy these bring, especially when shared with loved ones. The collective delight of sinking your teeth into that ooey, gooey marshmallow and chocolate goodness, perfectly balanced with the spiced cereal, is an experience not to be missed. Seriously, make these STAT! You absolutely will not be sorry. They embody everything wonderful about fall in a single, convenient, and utterly delicious bar.
