S'mores... S'nuff Said


Did you go to camp and make s'mores with all of your friends?  I did and I just loved them.  My parents also would let us make them in the winter time.  They would light a fire in our fireplace and bring out the HERSHEY's chocolate candy bars with Graham Crackers and marshmallows.  My sisters, cousins and I would take the sticks, sit on the freezing cold floor and warm ourselves up by toasting the marshmallows.  My middle sister liked hers golden brown but my mom and I made ours burnt.  Anyways, I digress.
I found this delicious recipe for S'mores Sandwich Bar Cookies off of the HERSHEY's website.   They can be made ahead of time and served for dessert.  I love them because you get the same great taste without all of the mess. One of my friend's mothers made these for a summer BBQ dessert and everyone went wild for them.  I hope you like them as much as I do!




S'mores Sandwich Bar Cookies
1/2 C. (1 stick) butter or margarine, softened
3/4 C. sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/3 C. flour
3/4 C. graham cracker crumbs
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
5 HERSHEY's Milk Chocolate Bars (1.55 oz each)
3 C. miniature marshmallows


Directions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease 8 inch square baking pan (I doubled the recipe and made it in a bigger pan).
Beat butter and sugar until well blended in large bowl.  Add egg and vanilla; beat well.  Stir together flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt; add to butter mixture until blended.  


Press half of dough in prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes.


Place chocolate bars over baked layer, breaking as needed to fit.  


Sprinkle with marshmallows; scatter bits of remaining dough over marshmallows, forming top layer. 


Bake 10 to 15 minutes or just until lightly browned.  Cool completely in pan on wire rack.  Cut into bars.  
Makes 16 bars.
