S’mores Cookie Chocolate Bars (Print Version)

Graham cracker bars layered with marshmallow creme and chocolate chips for an indulgent, chewy dessert.

# Ingredients:

→ Dough

01 - 113g unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
02 - 150g packed light or dark brown sugar
03 - 1 large egg, at room temperature
04 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
05 - 125g all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
06 - 120g graham cracker crumbs (about 8 full-sheet graham crackers)
07 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
08 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Filling

09 - 180g semi-sweet chocolate chips
10 - 1 heaping cup marshmallow creme (store-bought or homemade)

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 177°C. Line an 8-inch or 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang to easily remove the bars. Set aside.
02 - In a large bowl, use a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment to cream the butter and brown sugar together on medium-high speed for about 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat until combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
03 - Whisk together the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Pour the dry mixture into the wet ingredients and beat on medium speed until combined.
04 - Press or spread two-thirds of the graham cookie dough into the prepared pan. The dough will be sticky, so use your hands if needed. It will form a thin layer.
05 - Spread the marshmallow creme evenly on top. Layer the chocolate chips over the marshmallow creme.
06 - Mold the remaining cookie dough into flat pieces and layer on top of the chocolate chips. Some chocolate chips and marshmallow will remain exposed.
07 - Bake the bars for 25-30 minutes or until the top is lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and place the pan on a wire rack to cool completely.
08 - Lift the bars out using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares. Cover and store leftover bars at room temperature for up to 1 week.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - The dough may appear curdled after combining wet ingredients. This is normal.
02 - If using homemade marshmallow creme, ensure it is at room temperature for easier spreading.
