S'mores Bars

This vacation is going by wayyyy faster than I expected. I've been productive, but not as productive as I wanted to be. Oh well.

I did manage to get some baking in yesterday. I wanted to make something somewhat quick, so cupcakes were out. So were some other projects I had planned on doing since I had so much time due to vacation. Once again, oh well.


S'mores Bars
from What's Cookin Chicago

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
16 tablespoons (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups mini marshmallow
2 cups bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Thoroughly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt; set aside.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer on medium speed, beat butter and sugar until light, about 2 minutes. Beat in eggs until well combined. Reduce mixer speed to low and slowly beat flour mixture into butter mixture.
4. Reserve 1/4 of the dough and set aside. Press the remaining dough into greased pan until dough is uniform and flat. Top with chocolate chips and sprinkle with marshmallows.  Scatter the reserved dough over in clumps. Don't worry about covering the top; marshmallow and chocolate chips should peek through.
5. Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Place pan on a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into bars and remove from pan.
