The other week I was getting ready for a get together with a fantastic group of ladies-my kickball team-and they requested s'mores bars be made and I was happy to comply with their requests. I seem to always have the ingredients in the pantry, ready to make these at any notice. I followed this recipe from Wit and Whistle and it works amazingly. The only thing I change is I add a little more marshmallow fluff, only because I am a marshmallow lover.
You will need:
1/2 cup butter, 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 (e.g. Hershey’s)
1 1/2 cups marshmallow creme/fluff (not melted marshmallows)* I use about 2 cups*
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 (e.g. Hershey’s)
1 1/2 cups marshmallow creme/fluff (not melted marshmallows)* I use about 2 cups*
These are pretty simple to make-here's what you do:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars until light. Beat in egg and vanilla.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt. 4. Add to butter mixture and mix at a low speed until combined.
5. Divide dough in half and press half of dough into an even layer on the bottom of the prepared pan.
6. Place chocolate bars over dough. 2 king-sized Hershey’s bars should fit perfectly side by side, but break the chocolate (if necessary) to get it to fit in a single.
7. Spread chocolate with marshmallow creme or fluff.
8. Place remaining dough in a single layer on top of the fluff (I found it to be easier if you flatten the dough into small shingles and laying them together).
9. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool completely before cutting into bars.
I was making these a few hours before our get together and I also had a 'No-Nap-Ninja' on my hands...so a large iced coffee was much needed as well as a fluffer-nutter sandwich. Now please tell me you all have tried this wonderful creation? If not, it is simply peanut butter and marshmallow fluff! Now since you probably have peanut butter...and you obviously have marshmallow fluff...give it a whirl and you can thank me later.
After these have cooled, carefully cut them as big (or as small) as you would like, grab a few napkins and enjoy! Let me know if you love these as much as we do-
