S'mores Bars

Make sure to use a greased spoon--makes it MUCH easier!! I made these with cinnamon graham crackers and they were yummy! Also, I melted my own marshmallows in the microwave to make the marshmallow creme (10 seconds, stir, 10 seconds, stir, 10 seconds, then added some light corn syrup).

INGREDIENTS:

•  1/2 c. butter, 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

• 1/8 tsp salt

• 5 milk chocolate bars (1.55 oz each)

• 1 c marshmallow creme (1 7 oz jar)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

2. Add egg and vanilla; beat well.

3. Combine the flour, cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Set aside 1/2 c for topping.

4. Press remaining dough into a greased 9-inch pan. Place candy bars over crush; spread with marshmallow creme. Crumble remaining dough over top. Sprinkle with chocolate chips if you want more chocolateyness.

5. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Store in an airtight container.

MAKES: 1- 1 1/2 dozen (depends on how big the pieces are. For an 11x15-inch pan, double the recipe and add one additional chocolate bar to cover.
