S'MORES SQUARES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with two lengths of foil, crisscrossed, leaving some overhang. In a food processor, pulse crackers, butter and 3 tablespoons sugar to the consistency of damp sand. Pat firmly into bottom of lined pan. Bake until golden and fragrant, about 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
• Break up semisweet and unsweetened chocolate and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Zap in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until just melted. Let cool.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment, whip cream to stiff peaks. Transfer to another bowl and chill. Wash and dry mixer bowl and the whisk.
• In the stand mixer bowl, combine egg whites, 1 3/4 cups sugar, the cream of tartar and salt. Set bowl over a pan of simmering water. Whisk by hand constantly until mixture reaches 165°, about 4 minutes. (Start checking temperature after 3 minutes.) Lift out bowl, dry the bottom and snap into mixer. Whisk on high speed to glossy, cool, stiff peaks, about 4 minutes. Add vanilla and beat 1 minute more to return to stiff peaks. Transfer half of this meringue to a separate bowl; set aside.
• Gently fold cooled chocolate and the rum, if using, into remaining egg white mixture. Fold in whipped cream. Spread mixture over cooled crust. Top with reserved meringue, swirling with the back of a spoon.
• Preheat broiler. Broil 4 to 5 inches from the heat 30 seconds to 1 minute. (Watch closely so it doesn't burn.) Chill at least 2 hours. To serve, grasp foil overhang and lift out onto a cutting board. Slice into squares.

S'MORE SQUARES

Steps:

• Brush a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish with vegetable oil. Cut a piece of parchment or wax paper large enough to cover the bottom of the dish and to overhang the longer sides. Place the parchment in dish, brush with oil, and set dish aside.
• Pour 3/4 cup cold water in the bowl of an electric mixer, and sprinkle gelatin on top. Let stand 5 minutes.
• Place 3 cups granulated sugar, corn syrup, salt, and 3/4 cup water in a medium saucepan. Set saucepan over high heat, and bring to a boil. Insert a candy thermometer, and cook until mixture reaches soft-ball stage (238 degrees, about 9 minutes.
• Using the whisk attachment, beat hot syrup into gelatin on low speed. Gradually increasing speed to high, beat until mixture is very stiff, about 12 minutes. Beat in vanilla. Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish, and smooth the surface with an offset spatula. Set dish aside, uncovered, until marshmallow becomes firm, at least 3 hours or overnight.
• Place 1 cup confectioners' sugar in a fine strainer, and sift onto a clean work surface. Invert large marshmallow onto the sugar-coated surface, and peel off the parchment paper. Lightly brush a sharp knife with vegetable oil, and cut marshmallow into 2-inch squares. Sift remaining 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar into a small bowl, and roll marshmallows in sugar to coat. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a 9-inch-square baking pan with melted butter. In a large bowl, combine graham-cracker crumbs, 7 tablespoons melted butter, and remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Using your hands, press mixture firmly into the prepared pan. Transfer pan to oven, and bake until the crust has set, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove pan from oven, and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
• Bring a medium saucepan of water to a simmer. In a medium heat-proof bowl, combine chocolate with remaining 6 tablespoons butter. Set the bowl over the simmering water, and stir until chocolate and butter have melted. Pour chocolate mixture over cooled graham-cracker crust. Using an offset spatula, spread chocolate mixture into an even layer. Transfer to refrigerator, and chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the broiler. Cut chocolate crust into nine 3-inch squares. Top each square with a marshmallow, and place assembled s'mores under the broiler just until marshmallows turn golden brown, about 20 seconds. Serve immediately.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER S'MORES BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13 straight-sided baking pan with parchment, letting the parchment hang over the long sides by about 2 inches (this will help you remove the bars from the pan later). Spray all the parchment, including the exposed ends, with non-stick cooking spray.
• Add the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt to a medium-sized bowl then whisk to combine. Set aside. Add the butter and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. On medium-low speed, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Turn the mixer off and add in the flour mixture and stir by hand until just combined.
• Divide the dough in half. Using clean hands, place pieces of the dough all over the base of the prepared pan (this will make it easier to spread it into a crust that covers the base of the pan). Lightly spray your clean hands with the non-stick spray then gently press and mold the dough to cover the base of the pan.
• Place the chocolate bars on top of the dough in an even flat layer. Press slightly to adhere the chocolate to the dough. It will not cover the dough completely but will melt and spread as it bakes. Similar to the dough, dollop the marshmallow creme all over the chocolate bars. Spray your clean hands with the non-stick spray then use them to gently spread the marshmallow creme to completely cover the chocolate bars and dough. Sprinkle the peanut butter chips and the semi-sweet chocolate chips on top of the marshmallow creme. Spray your hands once again then take the remaining half of the dough and gently flatten into pancake-like pieces. Place them on top of the chips allowing some of the marshmallow creme and chips to peek through.
• Bake until golden brown, about 35 minutes. Let the bars cool completely before cutting into squares.
