S'more Bars

I always view s'mores as a nostalgic summer treat.  There's just something so cool about melting marshmallows over a fire and smooshing them in graham crackers and chocolate.  What's not so cool, is the mess.  Everytime I ate them, I think I ended up with it more on my face/hair/hands than in my tummy. 

Low and behold, I found a recipe for s'more bars from Lovin in the Oven.

S'more Bars from Lovin in the Oven

1/2 cup butter at room temperature
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 king-sized milk chocolate bars
1 1/2 cups marshmallow creme/fluff (do not use melted marshmallows!)

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.

In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light.  Beat in egg and vanilla.  In a small bowl, whisk together flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt.  Add to butter mixture and mix at a low speed until combined.

Divide dough in half and press half of dough into an even layer on the bottom of the prepared pan. Place chocolate bars over dough, breaking them if necessary in order to fit.  Spread over the chocolate with marshmallow creme or fluff.  Place remaining dough in a single layer on top of the fluff (most easily achieved by flattening the dough into small shingles and laying them together).  Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until lightly browned.  Cool completely before cutting into bars.




Stay classy,
