S'mores Cookie Bars

 Stop what you are doing and make these. Now.
For Reals.

You need these S'mores Cookie Bars in your life.

I have been playing around with this recipe for a few weeks & I am happy to say after 3 attempts, it has been perfected (in my humble opinion!)
Marshmallows & Chocolate in cookie form? Yes, Please.

 Here is what you need:

•  1 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 1 sleeve of graham crackers)
• 1/2 stick of butter, melted
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 stick of butter, softened
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 3/4 cup of mini marshmallows, divided
• 1 Milk Chocolate Hershey Bar 

Directions:

Combine 1 cup of graham cracker crumbs with 1/2 stick of melted butter

(Sometimes I use the pre-made graham cracker crumbs, sometimes I make my own graham cracker crumbs using 1 sleeve graham crackers (I crush them with a rolling pin & a ziplock bag)

Press the graham cracker crumbs/melted butter mixture in the bottom of an 8x8 pan:

 Cream sugars & 1 stick of butter:

 Add egg & vanilla.

Add in flour, salt & baking soda. Mix it all together.

 Then, add your 1 cup of chocolate chips & 1/2 cup of marshmallows.

 Mix until combined.

 Don't you want to lick that batter?

 Yum, Yum, Yum.

 Now, get a cookie scoop (or spoon) and drop spoonfuls of dough onto the crust:

 It doesn't have to be perfect, as it bakes the dough will even out.

 Sometimes I use a spatula to combine/smooth out the dough (Cause I am slightly OCD)

 Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.

 While it is baking, break up your Hershey Bar into pieces. 

After 10-12 minutes, add the Hershey bar pieces onto your dough:

 Then, sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of mini marshmallows on top:

 Bake for an additional 10 minutes (or until cooked all the way through)

Cook until a toothpick comes out clean....Don't overbake!!!  

(Total baking time is about 20-22 minutes at 350 degrees)

Let the pan cool for 1-2 hours before you cut them up into squares. 

  They are SO good. Dangerously good.

Seriously. I could eat the whole pan (and I am not even THAT big of a S'mores fan...but these? Yum!!!)

 Last week was Teacher Appreciation Week for Kate & Claire's schools (and this week is Teacher Appreciation Week for my school) so, I made these bars for the girls teachers with a cute tag.
