S'mores Tart

We recently visited some of my family in Austin and I brought them a few baked goodies as a thank you.  One such treat was the crowd-pleasing s'mores bites.  I had some of the graham cracker dough left over and I just couldn't let that go to waste, right? For some reason, I find tarts superbly pleasing (I think it's the fluted edges) and I was too lazy to think of a filling that would go as amazingly with a graham cracker crust as chocolate and marshmallows.  So s'mores tart it was!

S'mores Tart

• 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 
• 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips 
• 25-30 marshmallows

Preheat oven to 350F.  

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.  Press into 10-11 inch tart pan.  

Spread a single layer of chocolate chips over the dough.  Bake 10-15 minutes, or until chocolate is softened.  Remove from oven and use a spoon or spatula to spread the chocolate into a one smooth layer.

Using sharp kitchen shears, cut each marshmallow in half and place cut side down on top of chocolate.  Turn oven to broil; return tart to oven and watch closely until marshmallows are golden and delicious.

Try not to eat it all in one sitting.
