S'more Bars

A pro pic:: Our pic.  You get the idea.
Notes: 
1.) 5 regular Hershey's milk chocolate bars = 215 grams of chocolate
2.) When you have to spread the fluff onto the chocolate, use a metal spoon dipped in cold water.  It is MUCH easier.
3.) It may be easier to flatten the top layer of dough, and then placing on top of the fluff.  Or roll it, cut into strips, and lay on top.

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 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
215 grams chocolate, chopped
2 cups marshmallow fluff (half of a 16-oz container)

Preheat oven to 350F.  Great an 8-inch square baking pan.

In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light.  Beat in egg and vanilla.  In a small bowl, which together flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, and salt.  Add to butter mixture and mix at a low speed until combined.

Divide dough in half and press half of the dough in an even layer on the bottom of the prepared pan.  Sprinkle the chocolate over the dough, no more than 1/4 inch thick.  Spread chocolate with marshmallow fluff.

Place the remaining dough in a single layer on the top of the fluff.  See notes for tips on the best way of doing this.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, until lightly golden.  Cool completely before cutting into bars.

Found this... makes enough to fit a 13x9 dish... just in cash you need more.  All directions and cooking temp/time are the same.



3/4 cup of butter (1 1/2 sticks) room temperature
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup sugar*
2 large eggs*
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 2/3 cup all purpose flour
2 cups graham cracker crumbs*
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3 giant sized milk chocolate bars (I used Hershey’s)
1 7.5 oz jar of marshmallow fluff (or more if you want a thicker layer of marshmallow)
*Healthy Swaps: I used 3/4 cup of sugar as opposed to 1 full cup, egg whites instead of whole eggs (2 egg whites per egg called for), and I crushed Low Fat graham crackers for my graham cracker crumbs.
