No fire necessary S'mores

One of the staples of camping is making s'mores. I don't want to be anywhere near a fire when it's hot and summer out... even if it is to make a marshmallow for a s'more. I knew we were camping with family and it was going to be HOT... so S'more Bars sounded way better to me than actual s'mores and a fire. These were pretty easy to make - that hardest part was getting the fluff out of the jar. Why do they make them in such weird shaped jars? Fluff should come in a tube that you just squirt out, there are so many better way I can think of to accomplish this... Anyway... This is a yummy recipe that needs no campfire. It has all the right flavors in all the right places. It all stays put too - even in the heat... mostly.

S’mores Bars

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups salted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tbsp vanilla
3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 packages graham crackers (approximately 2 – 2 1/2 cups of crumbs)
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
6 king sized Hershey's bars
13 oz marshmallow cream
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. line a 9×13 pan with parchment paper and set rise.
Cream together the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar.
Add the egg and vanilla. Mix until light in color and creamy.
Add in the dry ingredients (flour, crushed graham crackers, baking soda, baking powder and salt), mix into the dough. Mix until completely combined.
Press 2/3 of the cookie dough into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Top with the Hershey’s chocolate bars.
Spread the marshmallow cream on top of the chocolate bars.
Break the remaining cookie dough into small portions and press onto the marshmallow cream.
Bake at 350° for 30-40 minutes. The cookie dough in the center should no longer look wet and should be turning golden brown. The marshmallow showing through should also be golden brown.
Allow the cookie bars to cool completely and then chill in the freezer for 20 minutes before removing from pan and cutting.
Store at room temp for up to 4 days in an air tight container.
