Smores Bars


You are going to die and think you have gone to heaven on a crispy, chocolatey, non-burnt marshmellowy (?) cloud when you try these.  Or at least I did.  Story behind finding this recipe?  Came home from camping with loads of extra Hershey's chocolate bars (don't ask me how) and needed something to do with them.  The only way I like Hershey's chocolate is in a smore and the only way to eat a real smore is around a campfire.  Well, I had just washed all that campfire smell out of our clothes and there was no way I was going to pack up all the stuff to take a 5 month old camping again so the solution was these bars.

1/2 c. butter
3/4 c. sugar
1 egg
1 teas. vanilla
1 1/3 c. flour
3/4 c. graham cracker crumbs
1 teas. baking powder
1/8 teas. salt
5 Hershey's bars
1 c. marshmallow cream

Grease a 9x9 pan with butter or cooking spray.  Beat together butter, sugar, egg, vanilla, flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.  Press one half of the graham cracker crumb mixture into the bottom of the pan.  Lay the candy bars on top.  Spread the marshmallow cream over the chocolate.  Crumble the remaining graham cracker crumb mixture over top.  Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minute.  Allow to cool completely before cutting.
