Easy Oven-Baked Graham Cracker Chocolate Dessert Bars

These delicious Graham Cracker Dessert Bars are made with just four simple ingredients and come together with minimal effort. Layers of crispy graham crackers are combined with melted butter, sweet chocolate chips, and creamy sweetened condensed milk to create a rich, gooey dessert. As the bars bake, the condensed milk transforms into a golden, caramel-like layer that holds everything together. Once cooled, the layers become wonderfully chewy and full of chocolatey sweetness. They’re perfect for family gatherings, holiday treats, potlucks, or whenever you need an easy homemade dessert!

Ingredients

• 12 whole graham cracker sheets
• 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Baking Dish

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch glass baking dish or line it with parchment paper, leaving a little overhang to make removing the bars easier.

Step 2: Create the First Layer

Arrange 6 graham cracker sheets across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Place them side by side, breaking or trimming pieces as needed to cover the surface evenly.

Step 3: Add Butter and Chocolate

Drizzle the melted butter over the graham crackers, distributing it as evenly as possible. Sprinkle the chocolate chips across the surface to create a delicious chocolate layer.

Step 4: Add the Second Layer

Arrange the remaining 6 graham cracker sheets over the chocolate chips, forming a second layer. Gently press them down so everything stays in place.

Step 5: Pour Over the Condensed Milk

Slowly drizzle the sweetened condensed milk over the top layer of graham crackers. Spread it gently if needed, making sure the surface is evenly coated.

Step 6: Bake Until Golden

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top becomes lightly golden and the condensed milk is bubbling around the edges.

Step 7: Cool and Slice

Remove the baking dish from the oven and allow the dessert to cool completely at room temperature. For firmer bars and neater cuts, refrigerate for an additional 20–30 minutes. Use a sharp knife to slice into squares.

Enjoy these easy homemade graham cracker bars with their buttery layers, melted chocolate, and sweet caramel-like filling. They’re a simple yet irresistible dessert that everyone will love!
