S'more Fun

 

If you recall last year for my birthday my son sent me this s'more box. He knows me well.

I loaded it up with necessary supplies

and headed off to my neighbor's house for a

Since I wasn't quite ready with a campfire tonight I thought I'd kick off the unofficial start of summer with these yummy, gooey, chocolatey, S'more Bars. So delicious and real close to the s'more most of us love. FYI I am aware there is a segment of people out there who don't embrace s'more treats as much as I do.  

These bars are best served warm but can be reheated a piece at a time in the microwave at 16 seconds. 

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup softened butter 
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 - 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (use s food processor) 
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 5 Hershey Milk Chocolate Bars, unwrapped 
• 3 cups miniature marshmallows

Directions: 

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 8-inch square baking pan.
• Beat butter and sugar until well blended in a large bowl. Add egg and vanilla; beat well. Sift flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt; add to butter mixture, beating until blended. Press half of the dough in the prepared pan. 

Baking Tip: Flour your hands and spread out dough in the pan. 

• Bake 13 minutes.
• Place chocolate bars over baked layer, may have to beak a few pieces of chocolate to fill in spaces.

• Top with marshmallows; scatter bits of remaining dough over marshmallows, forming a top layer.

• Bake 15 minutes or just until lightly browned. Turn oven to broil but keep rack in the middle position. Cook 1 minute more until marshmallows puff up. Watch carefully or will burn. 

• Cool 5 minutes and serve warm.
