How to Make Dreamy Paleo S’mores Bars
Make the base: Put all the ingredients for the bar base in a bowl and mix until combined. Press the dough for the bar base onto the bottom of the pan and bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until the base is golden brown.
Make the marshmallow layer: Use a stand mixer bowl to combine ¼ cup of water and gelatin. Allow the gelatin to hydrate for five minutes. Continue to combine honey and water in a saucepan. Boil the marshmallow base until the candy thermometer reads 240ºF. Slowly pour the boiling mixture into the gelatin mixture with the stand mixture turned on medium. Beat the marshmallow mixture on high until it triples in volume, and pour on the crust. Smooth with a spatula and let it sit uncovered for six to eight hours.
Make the chocolate layer: Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together over simmering water. Let the chocolate mixture cool slightly and pour it over the marshmallow layer. Refrigerate for four to five hours or until set.
Storing and Reheating Instructions:
To Store: Paleo s’mores bars can be stored in an airtight container for three days at room temperature. If your home is very hot, put them in the refrigerator to keep them fresh for up to a week. Freezing them is not recommended since it alters the marshmallow texture.
To Reheat: S’mores bars can be enjoyed directly from the refrigerator. Another way to enjoy them is by melting the chocolate and softening the marshmallow. Nuke your s’mores in the microwave for 15 seconds to enjoy this yummy, gooey heated treat—just like campfire s’mores.
