S’mores Cookie Bars

Yield: 16 bars

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup mini marshmallows plus a few extra for the top
• 1 regular sized milk chocolate Hershey Bar

 

 

Instructions

1. Line a square baking pan with parchment paper. Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Place in bottom of prepared pan and press down to form a crust.
2. Cream 1/2 cup softened butter, add in sugars and cream again till fluffy. Add in egg and vanilla. Mix again. Combine Flour, baking soda and salt, then add to butter mixture. Once all combined, fold in chocolate chips and marshmallows. Spoon Cookie dough on top of cookie crust as evenly as possible. Don't worry about spreading perfectly. Dough will spread as it cooks to fill in any gaps. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes.
3. While bars are cooking, break candy bar into sections and place in freezer. 8-10 minutes before bar is done cooking, sprinkle remaining marshmallows on top, just to decorate. Return to baking for remaining time. Remove pan from oven and carefully place broken candy bar pieces on top. Let cool completely before cutting.

The only hard part about this recipe is waiting for them to cool so you can try them!
UPDATE: These bars baked a lot longer than the 20 min. in my oven. They looked done so Jonathan put the chocolate pieces on top and we waited patiently for them to cool and then when I cut them I realized they were raw! So, I covered the dish with foil so I wouldn't burn the chocolate and baked them and baked them and then baked them some more. Since they were covered in foil I knew they would take longer. SO, PLEASE CHECK FOR DONENESS before you top them with the Hershey bar pieces!! I kept sticking a knife in them and then finally I took them out of the oven and left them covered in foil over night. This morning when I checked them they seemed to be done and they were tasty. They are VERY rich so I would cut them into 16 pieces like the recipe calls for.
