Smore's

Here is another Smore recipe that I have tried.  It is OK, just not for sure what to think of using Marshmallow crème instead of miniature marshmallows.  It tasted OK,  but didn't really brown up  like the little marshmallows do.  I actually made it for one of the guys that came back from Iraq back in June.  All the time he was gone I promised him goodies.  So now that he is back, I better start baking and trying new things. Note on this recipe.  I did not do what I suggested regarding the dough on top.  I didn't think about it till afterwards and I already took the pictures.  I think by doing it on wax paper it will keep the marshmallow crème underneath!   Hope you enjoy!!

Ingredients

• 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
• 5 1/2 1.55 oz Milk Chocolate bar (e.g. Hershey’s)
• 7 oz marshmallow creme/fluff (not melted marshmallows)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light. Beat in egg and vanilla. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt. Add to butter mixture and mix at a low speed until combined.
3. Divide dough in half and press half of dough into an even layer on the bottom of the prepared pan. Place chocolate bars over dough. Spread marshmallow creme or fluff on top of chocolate bars. Place remaining dough in a single layer on top of the fluff (Most easily done by patting out on wax paper and making the size of the pan.  Once the same size flip onto the fluff).
4. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool completely before cutting into bars.
