Recipe Rundown
Why These Are Better Than Regular S’mores
I know this might be controversial, but I truly think these bars are better than classic s’mores. The texture is just unreal—gooey, chewy, crunchy in all the right ways—and you don’t even need a bonfire.
The Layers That Make Them Magic
They start with a buttery graham cracker crust that gives them that classic s’mores flavor base. But the key is the sweetened condensed milk. Once you pour that on, it transforms everything into a rich, gooey filling that’s just incredible.
Loaded With the Good Stuff
Next comes a generous handful of chocolate chips and rainbow mini marshmallows (I found unflavored ones that added a fun pop of color!). Regular marshmallows totally work too. Then I top it all off with crushed dinosaur cookies.
The Cookie Star: Dino Edition
I already love Mother’s Cookies in general—the frosted animal ones are a year-round staple in my kitchen—but finding their dinosaur version was pretty exciting. They were made for the Jurassic Park movie release (the original is my favorite movie), and they’re actually chocolate instead of vanilla!
Let Them Cool = Flavor Explosion
Once baked, I always let these cool completely before slicing them. It’s worth the wait—something about letting everything settle just makes them even better. Every bite is layered with flavor and texture, and people go wild for them. Seriously, these don’t last long.
FAQ
Q: Can I use regular marshmallows instead of rainbow ones?
A: Absolutely! Rainbow just adds extra color, but any mini marshmallows will work perfectly.
Q: Where can I find Mighty Dynamite Dinosaur Cookies?
A: I found mine at Target and you can always check Mother’s Cookies socials, but you can substitute any dino-shaped cookie you like.
Q: Can these be made ahead of time?
A: Yes! Store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temp or freeze for later dino cravings.
Q: Can I double the recipe?
A: Totally—just use a 9×13 pan and watch the bake time (you might need 5–10 extra minutes).
Sprinkle of Fun
Mother’s Dinosaur Cookies were originally made for Jurassic Park, so these bars are a fun way to bring that full circle. Make a batch ahead of time and kick off a low-key movie night—start with the classics and work your way up to the new release. Grab some popcorn, pass around the bars, and enjoy a little dino nostalgia.
