Irrisistable Vegan Smores Cookies Bars
Vegan Smores Cookies Bars
Smores are a fall season delicacy, especially when combined with blazing campfires, rich hot chocolate, and cozy sweaters. This vegan smores cookie bars are no different!
Even though making these simple desserts can be a great bonding experience with your family; it’s not always super convenient.
When you don’t have the time to set up a roaring fire and break out the roasting sticks; these bars are a perfect replacement for the original s'more.
Ooey-gooey marshmallows and chunks of semi-sweet melted chocolate are the perfect ingredients to warm up anybody on a cool autumn night.
We love to use chocolate chunks instead of chips to get that perfect balance of cookie, marshmallow, and chocolate in every bite.
