S'mores Bars

Cozy up next to a fire, grab your marshmallows and grahams, and get ready for some chocolate-y goodness!

I really love s'mores. The ooey gooey cream center between two graham cracker crunches. Oh my...my heart skips a beat. S'mores remind me of times where I'm relaxed and in a good mood. I was in the mood to bake something but I didn't want to make a cake. I've never tried to make bars before of any kind, so I figured why not make s'mores bars?!

Some More S'mores Bars, Please

1 cup butter (room temp)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs

2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cups graham crackers (crushed pretty fine)-- this amounts to 14 graham crackers, fyi.

1 to 1 1/2 cup peanut butter (based on your liking of pb)
3 GIANT Chocolate Bars (The 6.8oz ones)
1 14oz container marshmallow fluff

Mix the first set of ingredients until smooth.
Add in the second set of ingredients until just incorporated (will be crumbly like)

Grease a 9X13 pan (recipe can be halved for an 8x8).
Divide the graham crust mixture in half. Gently press one half of the mixture into the pan.
Using a spatula and some patience, smear the peanut butter over the graham crust.
Gently plop the chocolate bars (enough to cover the entire pan) onto the peanut butter. Break them if you need them to fit more snug.
Use a spatula and spread the marshmallow fluff over the chocolate (GOOD LUCK!). I didn't warm it in the microwave, though I bet you would have an easier time spreading it if you did.
Finally, pour the remaining half of the graham crust over the marshmallow layer. My mix was in crumbs, so it was easy to spread and then pat together to make on even layer.

Bake at 350 for about 30-35 minutes or until light brown on top. Cool completely and cut and enjoy!


YUM!
