How to turn campfire s'mores into a neater to eat cookie bar? Bake up a chewy graham cracker cookie dough base with chocolate and peanut butter chips/candies. Then top with marshmallows, more chocolate and peanut butter chips and broil for that authentic campfire toasted s'mores flavor!
1/2teaspoon saltI used coarse kosher salt, if using table salt, use 1/4 teaspoon
2sticks (1 cup)buttersoftened
1 1/2cupslight brown sugarlightly packed
2large eggs
2teaspoonsvanilla extract
1cup + 2 tablespoonschocolate chipsdivided
1/4cup + 2 tablespoonspeanut butter chips or Reese's piecesdivided
1 1/3cupsmini marshmallows
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange oven rack to center position.
Spray or grease 9 x 13 x 2" pan with non-stick spray or butter.
(I used a thinly aluminum metal pan. If using a glass or dark colored pan reduce oven temperature to 325.)
Line pan width-wise with 2 layers of foil that over hang the sides of the pan, fold over excess.
Spray or grease foil.
Whisk together flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt in small bowl.
Using electric mixer, cream together butter and sugar for several minutes or until fluffy and lightened in color.
Add eggs one at a time, then add vanilla.
Mix in dry ingredients, then add 1 cup of the chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of the peanut butter chips.
Press dough into prepared pan. (I use buttered fingers or spatula to press dough into pan.)
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden browned on the edges and still a little soft in the center.
Remove pan from oven, set oven to broil (keeping oven rack in same center position.)
Top baked bars with marshmallows and remaining 2 tablespoons each chocolate and peanut butter chips.
Return pan to oven and broil - WATCHING - until the marshmallows are toasted. It will happen quickly - don't take your eyes off. Remove pan from oven and allow to cool fully.
Once cool, use foil sling to remove to a cutting board. Cut into 24 squares. (Wipe knife clean in between cuts to prevent sticking.) Store in an airtight container for several days.
