Ingredients

  • ¼ cup vegan butter
  • ¼ cup coconut palm sugar
  • pinch fine sea salt
  • ¾ cup coarsely crushed graham crackers
  • 12 oz (340 grams) dairy-free chocolate, chopped
  • ½ cup small vegan marshmallows

Instructions

  • Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside. Place a smaller sheet pan on the counter near the stove and place a sheet of parchment paper on it as well.
  • Set a small saucepan over medium-high heat and add the vegan butter. Once the vegan butter is melted add the coconut palm sugar and pinch of salt. Stir to combine with a rubber spatula until sugar is dissolved and starting to foam. Bring the mixture to a boil. Keep stirring and cooking this mixture for about 2-3 minutes, or until the caramel is pulling away from the sides of the pan as you stir and is totally homogenous.
  • Remove this mixture from the heat and stir in the crushed graham crackers. Quickly stir to evenly coat the pieces. Scrape the caramelized graham crackers out onto the smaller, parchment lined baking sheet, spreading them out as much as you can. Place the whole baking sheet in the fridge and chill until all of the pieces are firm. Once firm, roughly chop the caramelized graham crackers.
  • While the caramelized graham crackers are cooling, melt the chocolate in a double boiler setup. Once the chocolate is fully melted and fluid, scrape it out onto the parchment-lined half sheet pan, spreading it out into an even layer. You should have a 1-2 inch empty border surrounding the whole piece in the half sheet pan.
  • Quickly top the chocolate with the caramelized graham crackers and marshmallows. Sprinkle a bit of salt if you like.
  • Place the vegan s’mores bark into the fridge until completely firm, about 1 hour. Then, break the vegan s’mores bark into smaller pieces. Store in the fridge for up to 1 week!

Recipe Notes

  • I try not to be exclusive about quality of ingredients--just keeping accessibility in mind. That said, if your grocery budget/research time allows, I’d recommend looking at Food Empowerment Project’s list of vegan chocolate options, highlighting brands that do not exploit children/enslaved labour conditions. They have a lot of eye-opening information on their site about this topic
  • My favourite vegan marshmallow brand is Dandies.
    I’ve found that a lot of graham cracker options are accidentally vegan these days! (ie no honey)
