Smores Bars

Smores Bars

from See Jane in the Kitchen

1/2 cup butter, soft
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 Hershey's milk chocolate bars
1 small jar marshmallow cream

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.

2. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light. Beat in egg and vanilla. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt. Add to butter mixture and mix at a low speed until combined.

3. Divide dough in half and press half of dough into an even layer on the bottom of the prepared pan. Place chocolate bars over dough. Spread chocolate with marshmallow creme or fluff. Place remaining dough in a single layer on top of the fluff. This is tricky, I made balls as if I was making cookies and flattened them, then arranged them on top.

4. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool completely before cutting into bars.

Notes:  I didn't use KING sized Hershey's bars.  Dang!  I should have.  I really need to learn to read the entire recipe before starting!!!  Arghhhhh...

but...

Verdict:  WOW!!!  So good!!!!!  And rich!!  We actually ended up with leftovers.  Ok... I did double the recipe because I'm pretty sure that a single batch would not have been enough!  And the leftovers were sooooooooo good!  I packed a bar in my kids' lunches the next day... MAJOR Mom points for me!!!!
