Peanut Butter S’mores Bars

  • Author: Audrey

Ingredients

  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) salted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 6 graham crackers)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • About 15 oz of Hershey’s chocolate bars
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (optional)
  • 16 normal sized marshmallows


Instructions

  1. Preheat the broiler. Line an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and creamy. Beat in the egg and vanilla until combined.
  3. Add the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  4. Press two-thirds of the dough evenly into the prepared pan. Arrange the chocolate bars over the dough. Spread with peanut butter, if using, then top with the marshmallows.
  5. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes, until the marshmallows are golden and toasted. Watch closely. Remove from the oven and reduce the temperature to 350°F.
  6. Flatten pieces of the remaining dough and place them over the marshmallows, leaving some marshmallows exposed.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the top is lightly golden. Let cool completely before slicing into bars.
  8. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
