Brown Butter S’mores Bars


Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 sticks unsalted butter
  • 1 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs plus 1 egg large yolk
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • heaping 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 king-size Hershey’s bars (milk or dark)
  • 1 jar marshmallow fluff
  • 4 1/2 graham crackers

Instructions

  1. Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan, line the pan with parchment paper and grease the parchment paper as well.
  2. In a medium saucepan, cook the butter over moderate heat until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer the melted butter to a large bowl. Allow to cool for about 20 minutes before proceeding.
  3. To the large bowl with the butter, add the sugar, eggs and yolk, almond butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until smooth and well combined. Add the flour and baking powder and stir with a wooden spoon. The mixture will be thick.
  4. Spread half the blondie batter into the prepared baking pan. Lay the graham crackers on the surface of the batter. Spread the entire jar of marshmallow fluff on top. Then lay the chocolate bars side by side. Finally, top with remaining batter. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until cooked through and golden brown. Insert a skewer in the center of the blondies to test the doneness. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before lifting from the pan and slicing.
