Gooey Smores Bars Recipes

GOOEY BAKED S'MORES BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9 x 13 pan with foil (overhanging the sides) and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, beat together sugar, butter, vanilla and egg for about 2 minutes. Mix in graham cracker crumbs, flour and salt until thoroughly combined. Reserve 1 cup of this mixture. Press the remaining mixture into the bottom of the pan for the crust.
• Evenly layer chocolate chips on top of crust. Drop spoonfuls of marshmallow creme over the chocolate chips. Using the back of a spoon warmed with hot water gently spread creme evenly over the chips, stopping to rinse spoon and warm with water as needed. Sprinkle the marshmallows and reserved graham mixture over the top.
• Bake for 18-22 minutes or until marshmallows start to lightly brown. Cool thoroughly before lifting foil from pan and cutting into squares.

GOOEY S'MORES BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring that the paper along the long sides extends above the pan to act as handles to remove from the pan later. Set aside.
• Combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar in a medium bowl, add butter and mix with a fork until uniform. Reserve approximately 1-2 tablespoons of the graham cracker crumbs .
• Press crackers down into the baking pan using the back of a glass or a tart tamper. Bake crust for 10 minutes or until slightly golden.
• Place marshmallows on top of the baked graham cracker crust, side by side leaving little to no gap in between each marshmallow.
• Melt chocolate in the microwave, heating in 30-second intervals and mixing thoroughly between each interval. Mix until completely smooth and melted.
• Top marshmallows with the melted chocolate and sprinkle reserved graham cracker crumb over the top. Bake for 10-12 minutes to allow the marshmallows to melt.
• Once out of the oven, transfer pan to a cooling rack and sprinkle the flaky sea salt. Once the s'mores are cooled, transfer to the freezer for 10-15 minutes (for the chocolate to fully set).
• Once the chocolate has set, cut & enjoy! Store leftover s'mores bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

OOEY GOOEY SMORES BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Butter 8x8 dish or line with criss-crossed parchment
• Crush your graham crackers into crumbs or buy them this way! My preferred method is to throw them in a ziplock plastic bag and whack them with a rolling pin, can, or even your hand will do. It's kind of therapeutic. As I was crumbling the graham crackers wondering, "Don't they sell graham cracker crumbs!?" Why yes, yes they do! I highly suggest you go that route.
• Melt butter in a medium bowl in the microwave. Dump the remaining crust ingredients in with the butter and mix. Press into prepared dish.
• Arrange your Hershey's bars in cute little rows.
• If you want to get a little crazy with the Hershey's and not leave as much space, you go on with your bad self! [Name that movie!] But I will warn you that these Smores Bars are SWEET!
• Then dump your marshmallows on top. The quantities listed above are really more like guidelines. If you are a marshmallow person, pile 'em on!!!
• The sprinkle some milk chocolate chips on top. You know how some days a few chips aren't enough? Yeah, I was having one of those days. Why Ghirardelli chips and Hershey's bars? Because, as crazy as this might sound, my chocolate palate has matured over the years and Hershey's just doesn't float my boat as much anymore, but would they be Smores without Hershey's? I'll field that one for you. No. No, they would not. Thus Hershey's AND Ghriardelli it is.
• Pour the sweetened condensed milk overtop. No need to cover every nook and cranny. Honestly it's best if you don't. 1/2 can, really? Yes really. You know what I do? I spatula that remaining sweetened condensed milk into a small ziptop plastic baggie and then throw it in the freezer. Just make sure you label it because have you seen sweetened condensed milk in a baggie? It's gross looking. Someone will throw it out.
• Anyways put those Smores Bars in the preheated oven and bake for 20-30 minutes or until the top is a perfect golden brown. Cook longer if you like your smores burnt. Here's to that!
• Let cool 10 minutes and then pull the marshmallows away from the sides of the dish with a metal spatula or knife. Let cool completely before cutting, or you will have one big messy (delicious) pile and not perfectly formed bars.
