Smores Bars

I wasn't aware at the time, but S'mores day happened recently. Thus, there have been quite a few smores recipes on TasteSpotting. After having a dream about baking smores brownies, I decided I just had to make something. I choose this S'more Cookie Bars from Baking Bites. Honestly, I chose them because of the gooey quality of the marshmallow and chocolate, plus the ration of graham to marshmallow to chocolate seemed best.


S'more Cookie Bars
  • 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/3 cup flour
  • 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 king-sized chocolate bars - Hershey
  • 1 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease an 8x8 baking dish.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars. Beat in the egg and vanilla.

In a small bowl, whisk together flour, crumbs, baking powder, and salt. Add to the butter mixture and mix on low speed until combined. It will be kind of clumpy.

Divide dough in two. Press one half into the bottom of the pan. Place the chocolate bars side by side on top of the dough. They should fit just about perfectly in the pan. Spread the marshmallow fluff across the top of the chocolate. This will be difficult. I didn't bother measuring out the fluff, I just used most of the jar. Really, can you have too much marshmallowy goodness?

Place the remaining dough over the top of the marshmallow. It works best if you flatten squares of the dough and lay it over the top, like tiles.

Bake for 30-35 minutes. Let it cool completely before cutting.


This is amazing. The chocolate stays gooey, so it's really like eating a smore. So goooood. And now the solution to smores cravings when there are no fires nearby!
