S’mores Bars are where it’s at!

I love S’mores.  (That’s “smores” not “shmores” if my husband is listening, ahem!)

But really….I mean, it’s hotter ‘n heck right now and I am not about to go build a campfire so I can indulge in some gooey chocolate, marshmallow madness.  Even though National S’mores Day is coming up on August 10.

So, I offer this amazing “indoor” s’mores recipe for you, just in case:

  • you hate smelling like stale campfires
  • it’s too hot for a campfire
  • you are not outdoors
  • your marshmallow to chocolate melt skills are lacking
  • you just want some s’mores now, dangit

S’mores Bars are easy and would make a great Family Night treat.  Have your kids help you!  And if we’re going for the whole indoor campfire food theme, why not have Niki’s Beans & Dawgs for dinner and have this for dessert?

S'mores Bars

S'mores Bars are where it's at!
By:
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 1/3 cups flour
  • 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 2 (4.4 oz) Hershey bars
  • 1 (7 oz) jar marshmallow creme
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 and grease an 8″ square baking pan.
Step 2
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until well-combined. Add in the egg and vanilla and mix until well-blended.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, and salt. Add this to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until combined.
Step 4
Take half of this mixture and press it evenly into the baking pan. Add the chocolate bars on top (they just fit side by side in my pan).
Step 5
Spoon the marshmallow creme out on top of the chocolate
Step 6
gently and evenly spread the marshmallow creme over the chocolate.
Step 7
Make square-ish patties out of the remaining dough and piece together on top of the creme (I did this in four patties and it worked just fine).
Step 8
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool completely at room temperature (or all the gooey wonderfulness will ooze out of the bars and we don’t want that, do we?).
