S'mores Bars
Description
The S'mores Bars begin with preparing a graham cracker cookie dough by creaming softened butter with brown and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, then adding egg and yolk with vanilla extract. Dry ingredients including graham cracker crumbs, flour, baking soda, and salt are stirred in to form a dough. Half of this dough is pressed into the bottom of an 8x8-inch baking pan to create the base.
Next, a layer of milk chocolate bars is evenly distributed over the dough, followed by spreading marshmallow cream completely on top to cover the chocolate layer. The remaining half of the cookie dough is then lightly pressed over the marshmallow layer. The assembled pan is baked at 325°F for 26-30 minutes until the top turns golden. After baking, the bars are allowed to cool fully, ideally placed in the freezer for at least 30 minutes before slicing, which helps solidify the melty chocolate and marshmallow layers for cleaner serving.
The bars combine buttery graham cracker cookie texture with sweet milk chocolate and sticky marshmallow cream, reminiscent of classic s'mores in a portable bar form. They should be served at room temperature after allowing them to set briefly if frozen. The recipe does not include notes but recommends careful timing on baking and cooling for best results.
