S'mores Bars

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/4 cup brown sugar 
• 1/2 cup sugar 
• 1 large egg 
• 1 tsp vanilla  
• 1 1/3 cup flour 
• 1/4 tsp salt 
• 5 cinnamon or honey graham crackers, finely crushed
• 1 tsp baking powder 
• 2 extra large Hershey bars (5 oz bars)
• 1 container of marshmallow fluff (approximately 1 1/2 cups)

 Preparations:

1. Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 8" x 8" casserole dish.
2. In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream together butter and sugar until light. Beat in egg and vanilla.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt. Add to butter mixture and mix at a low speed.
4. Divide dough in half and press half of dough into an even layer on the bottom of the dish. Place chocolate bars over dough. Two 5 oz. Hershey’s bars should fit perfectly side by side, but break the chocolate, only if necessary, to get it to fit in a single layer.
5. Spread marshmallow fluff evenly over the chocolate layer.
6. Place remaining dough in a single layer on top of the marshmallow. This is most easily done by putting the second half of the dough in a gallon size freezer bag. Use a rolling pin to flatten it out, and then use scissors to cut down both long sides of the bag, so it will open up. Open it up carefully, then place the bag, dough side down, on the other three layers. From there, peel the bag up and carefully spread the dough over the marshmallow layer.
7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes (33 minutes), until lightly browned.
8. When serving, they can be eaten still warm or at room temperature. The chocolate doesn't really set up at room temperature and still remains soft and delicious. We cut our bars into 9 squares and, because it is so rich, we eventually cut those in half, yielding 18 bars for the small pan.
