I’ve got the perfect summertime dessert for you! If you can’t decide if you want a chocolate chip cookie or a Smores, why not combine the two to create a super decadent, crowd pleasing dessert bar? What I LOVE about these Vegan Smores Cookie Bars:

They are much easier to eat with less mess to clean up. They’re incredibly simple to make with 9 ingredients and 1 bowl. The golden cookie crust is absolutely scrumptious and the (vegan) marshmallows get all toasty in the oven. BEST THING EVER.

So what are you waiting for? Make these for your next backyard cookout and watch them disappear!

What are vegan marshmallows and where can I find them?

Normally, marshmallows have gelatin in them which is not vegan because it’s made from animal ligaments. Thankfully, there are some awesome brands out there making vegan ones, so not to worry. I’m lucky enough to shop at Trader Joe’s, where they almost always have vegan marshmallows on hand. Sometimes the big ones, and sometimes they carry mini ones. Either is fine!

What chocolate chips are vegan?

Make sure to check the ingredients on chocolate chips, because often times they contain milk fat or butter oil. Guittard brand semi-sweet chocolate chips are vegan, as well as Trader Joe’s. I’m sure there are others, but those are the two I use most often.
