S'mores Bars



I think things are finally calming down around my house!  Now to catch up on blogging, and some real work.  I am lucky enough to work out of my house, but that also means I feel like I should always be working!  Ok, maybe not always, but I do have a lot of catch up to do.  Hopefully the long weekend will help!

S'mores are everywhere, in every way shape or form.  I have seen cake, bars, cookies, milkshakes...you name it, is out there.  Well, I couldn't let the summer pass without making my own S'more treat.  I went for a Chocolate Chip Bar Cookies that had a Graham Cracker Crust, and Marshmallows mixed in.  These were delicious!  Perfect for this long weekend.  Bring to a BBQ, make for just you, whatever it is just make them!

S'mores Bars
Printable Recipe

1 1/2 cups Graham Crackers (1 sleeve), crushed
2/3 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened

3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/4 cup mini marshmallows
1 bag chocolate chips
3 Hershey Bars

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar.  Press into the bottom of a 13x9 in pan.  Bake for 7 minutes.  Allow to cool slightly.

    I love anything "smores". I think I have about 10 different smores-type recipes pinned on Pinterest. These look really tasty; I'll have to try them.

    My son was standing over my shoulder when this popped onto my screen. "Oh mom can you make those for an after school treat?" I think I will...if I can get work done in time.

    I didn't know S'mores are everywhere in the USA. Only ones I've ever had were the roasted kind over a camp fire.

    The first known recipe appeared in the 1927 Girl Scout hand book called Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts.

    S'Mores cookies are the most popular dessert I make with my family. One of my nephews just asked me today when I would make them again. :) I didn't have the heart to tell him I wasn't planning on making them again after Labor Day until next summer.

    I love the way these looks! S'mores are so tasty but always a bit of a mess. These squares would solve that problem!

    I see recipes like this and I try to scroll past the pictures really quickly so my family can't see them. :) I'd have to go buy chocolate and make these immediately otherwise. Chocolate in the house.....yuck.
