Toasted S’mores Bars

A few weeks ago, I was Stumbling (that means, pressing the Stumble! button on my toolbar and perusing sites from StumbleUpon, in case you didn’t know already), and I landed on this recipe. Actually, I landed on a photo of the recipe. A photo of toasted, gooey marshmallows on top of melted chocolate on top of graham cracker-laced cookies. It was so tempting that I went upstairs with Grace and made the bars. Right then! She’s always up for baking with Momma. They were every bit as good as I imagined. Once they cooled off, they were not quite so good. Actually, not nearly as good. They became a little weird once they were cold.

We cut the cold s’mores bars into single-serving pieces and froze them. They freeze very well, and they defrost very well. The reheated bars were just as good as the first time. I think that qualifies as freezes beautifully.

Toasted S'mores Bars

Servings

Ingredients

• 17.5 oz pouch sugar cookie mix 17.5 oz
• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1 cup butter melted
• 3-4 cups milk chocolate chips
• 4 1/2 cups mini marshmallows

Servings Ingredients 17.5 oz pouch sugar cookie mix 17.5 oz 2 cups graham cracker crumbs 1 cup butter melted 3-4 cups milk chocolate chips 4 1/2 cups mini marshmallows

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375.
2. I wasn't sure how many graham crackers it would take to make 2 cups of crumbs, so Grace and I crumbled a whole sleeve of graham crackers. It came out to almost 4 cups. We stirred all of them into the package of cookie mix.

   
3. Mix the cracker mixture with the melted butter and stir until a soft dough forms.

   
4. Press into a 9x13 pan.
5. Bake for 20 minutes or until set.
6. As soon as the cookie comes out of the oven, sprinkle the chocolate chips over the whole thing.

   
7. Wait a few minutes, then use a butter knife or spreader to make the chocolate chips into a single melted chocolate layer.

   
8. Preheat oven to broil.
9. Sprinkle the marshmallows over the chocolate. (Don't use extra marshmallows like I did; it makes the finished bars much harder to eat.)

   
10. Broil the cookies about 5 inches from the heat. Broil for 30 seconds at a time, checking frequently as the mini marshmallows will toast and catch on fire quickly. Not that I caught mine on fire, mind you. I'm just throwing that out there.
11. Cool for 10 minutes, cut into 20 bars, and serve hot.
