S'mores Brownie Bars
Description
The brownies start by creaming melted butter with sugars, then mixing in eggs, vanilla, cocoa powder, flour, and salt to form a thick batter baked partially in a 9x9 pan. While still hot, marshmallow fluff is spread evenly over the warm brownie layer, topped immediately with milk chocolate bars to melt slightly from residual heat. A separate graham cracker cookie dough made from creamed butter, sugars, egg, vanilla, graham cracker crumbs, flour, baking soda, and salt is dropped over the chocolate and pressed gently to cover.
The assembled bars bake further until the cookie dough is set and golden. After baking, they are chilled for at least an hour to allow the layers to firm up for clean slicing. The finished bars offer a moist brownie base, gooey marshmallow and chocolate center, and a mildly crisp cookie topping, evoking the layered flavors and textures of s'mores in a portable form suitable for dessert or sharing.
