S'Mores Bars


One more thing for the weekend, and these are INCREDIBLE!! We are going to have traditional s'mores, cooking our marshmallows on sticks, but this recipe has become a family staple!!!  Mine turned out looking GREAT.  Here's the recipe:

S'mores Bars

1/2 c. butter, softened
3/4 c. sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1-1/3 c. all-purpose flour
3/4 c. graham cracker crumbs (about 6 sheets)
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
4 (1.5 oz.) Hershey's milk chocolate bars
1 c. marshmallow creme

Preheat oven to 350.  Lightly grease an 8-inch baking pan.  In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer until creamy.  Add egg and vanilla; beat until combined.  In a small bowl, combine flour, graham crackers, baking powder and salt.  Add to the butter mixture and beat until combined.  Press half of the dough in the pan, spreading evenly.  Lay chocolate bars on top of dough, breaking apart as needed to cover entire layer in chocolate.  Spread marshmallow creme over chocolate bars.  Spread remaining dough over marshmallow creme and chocolate bars.  Bake 30-35 minutes.

*I find the graham dough to be sticky and a little hard to spread.  If you use some flour on your fingers, it makes it much easier.
