Time 1h40m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 stick unsalted butter, plus more for greasing, at room temperature
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 1/3 cups flour
1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Heaping 1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Heaping 1/3 cup mini marshmallows

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with butter.
  • In a large bowl combine the butter and brown sugar. Using a hand mixer, blend until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and eggs and mix on medium speed until combined, about 1 minute.
  • In a separate bowl combine the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt. With the mixer running, slowly add the dry mixture into the wet mixture, and mix until a dough forms.
  • Transfer the dough to the prepared baking dish and pat out in an even layer to cover the bottom of the pan. Top the dough with the chocolate chips and marshmallows.
  • Bake until the marshmallows are browned and the dough is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool to room temperature, then slice into 2-by-2-inch squares.

S'MORES COOKIE CRUMBLE BARS

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield 16 squares

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 sheets graham crackers, finely ground, or 1 cup store-bought graham cracker crumbs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 sticks (6 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
One 4.4-ounce bar milk chocolate, such as Hershey's, broken into pieces
1 cup marshmallow creme

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8-inch square baking dish with aluminum foil or parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the ends of the pan for lifting out the finished bars.
  • Stir together the ground grahams, flour, sugar and salt in a small bowl. Cream the butter, egg and vanilla in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until creamy and combined; you are not trying to beat a great amount of air into the mixture. Add the graham mixture and continue to beat on low speed until just combined and large crumbles form.
  • Place about two-thirds of the mixture in the prepared pan and firmly press down. Reserve a few pieces of the chocolate for garnish (about 1/2-ounce), and then scatter the rest of the chocolate pieces over the base. Drop spoonfuls of the marshmallow creme over the chocolate, stretching the creme so it covers more of the base. Drop the remaining cookie batter in small clusters over the chocolate and creme so the creme is mostly covered.
  • Bake until the dough is golden brown and the cookie in the center of the pan feels firm, about 40 minutes. The marshmallow creme will puff through the crumble and brown, and it will deflate as it cools. Cool in the pan at least 15 minutes.
  • Using the foil overhang, lift the crumble bars out of the pan. Melt the reserved pieces of chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth, and then drizzle over the cookies. Cut into sixteen 2-by-2-inch squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.

This is a kid/teen favorite! Tastes just like Smores. Bottom crust is a graham cracker flavored cookie with real hershey bars in the middle layer and then topped with marshmallows and more cookie dough. I took these to a cookie exchange and the plate was emptied in about 5 minutes.

Tips for Making S'mores Cookie Bars

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The chocolate is the star of the show in s'mores cookie bars, so it's important to use a good quality chocolate that you enjoy the taste of. We recommend using a semisweet or bittersweet chocolate.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookie bars tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookie bars hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookie bars until they are just set. The cookie bars should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to set as they cool.
  • Top the cookie bars with marshmallows and chocolate chips before baking. This will help the marshmallows and chocolate chips melt and gooey.
  • Broil the cookie bars for a few minutes before serving. This will help the marshmallows toast and brown.

Conclusion

S'mores cookie bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are sure to be a hit with your friends and family. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a batch of s'mores cookie bars that will disappear in no time. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give s'mores cookie bars a try.
