pinterest strikes again - the s'mores bars



So, I showed up with these bad boys to a super bowl party, and all I heard until the pan was empty was "who made these??" Not gonna lie, it was a bit of an ego boost. I pretty much spent the whole party shouting out, "PINTEREST, BITCHESSSSS."

Only problem was that I overbought on the Hershey's bars and needed an excuse to get rid of the excess. When a joint birthday celebration was planned, I decided to use up the chocolate and grace my friends with these bars once more.

Alright, this is what you will need to get started:





- a square pan (I used an 11" x 9")
- 1/2 cup of butter, room temp
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/3 cups flour
- 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Hershey's chocolate bars (likeeee 8?)
- a tub o' Marshmallow Fluff

Next, follow these steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350

2. If you have a food processor, throw like 8 graham crackers in that bad boy to make some graham cracker crumbs. If you don't, well, I'm sorry










3. Once that is done, combine the butter and both sugars in a mixing bowl and cream them til they look like this:





(tee hee hee I said cream)

4. Add in the egg and vanilla. Mix. Add in the dry ingredients. Mix some more.

5. Grease up your pan, then take half of the graham cracker mixture and pat it firmly into the bottom.





6. Lay the Hershey's bars on top





7. Take the fluff and spread it in a thin layer over the chocolate. This part is kinda tricky because, well, fluff is sticky. Just use your fingers, ok?





8. Dump the rest of the graham cracker mixture on top and pay it down firmly.





9. Bake in the over for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is slightly golden, like so:





Wait until they are completely cool to cut them up, unless you want an ooey gooey mess. I mean, unless you're into that shiz.

They are absolutely delicious. I recommend making them for an event, so they are not just sitting around your house, staring at you and silently willing you to devour the whole tray (not that that's happened to me with baked goods or anything)
