S'Mores Bars

Yum, yum, and more yum!

I needed to make a batch of cookies for a 

lunch I was going to, and I wanted to try 

something different.  I have no idea why, 

but I did a search for S'Mores Bars on Pinterest, 

and up came a recipe from House of Nash Eats 

that looked really yummy.

As I read the recipe, she said she had tasted it at 

a get-together and it was brought by Hungry Runner Girl.

Ha!  I know Hungry Runner Girl personally.  My 

son dated her for a while, so this was a fun recipe 

for me to try out, and the verdict was - fantastic!

These fabulous bars consist of a graham cracker crust, 

topped with a chocolate cookie dough layer, and 

then gloriously garnished with marshmallows, 

chocolate chips and Hershey bars.  How could they 

be anything but wonderful?

The recipe called for a very large amount of 

butter to be mixed into the graham cracker crust - 

let me tell you a secret - butter makes things 

extra delicious!  Nope, I won't be altering that.  

I didn't end up having mini marshmallows on hand, 

so I laboriously cut the full sized ones into smaller 

pieces - it worked, but I grabbed a bag at the store 

for my next batch - which I am making this week.  

S'Mores Bars Recipes

Graham Cracker Crust

2 1/4 C. ground graham crackers ( 1 1/2 pkg)

2/3 C. melted butter

1/3 C. sugar

Mix the above and spread into a 9x13 inch pan and bake 

for 5 minutes at 350.  Remove and let cool a little.

Meanwhile make the cookie dough.

1 C. softened butter

3/4 C. brown sugar

3/4 C. white sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

2 1/4 C. flour

1 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

1 1/4 C. semi-sweet chocolate chips

2 C. mini marshmallows

Cream the butter and sugars together.  Then add the eggs and 

vanilla.  Mix the flour, salt and soda together and blend into 

the butter mixture.  Stir in the chocolate chips and marshmallows.

Spread on the slightly cooled crust carefully, so as to not break 

up the crust.  Bake at 350 for 18 minutes.  Remove from oven 

and top with 

1 C. marshmallows,

1/2 C. semi-sweet chocolate chips 

2-3 Hershey bars, broken into squares

Return to oven and bake for 9-11 minutes.  You want 

these to be a little underbaked.  I baked mine for 9.

Let cool completely before cutting.  I put mine in 

the fridge to harden the chocolate before cutting 

into 24 pieces.

You can see how the cookie dough layer is 

underbaked - that's what you want.  

These will be on your list of favorites from now on!
