I love you S'more!

When we first moved back to Denver in 2010,

I applied for a baker position at a cute little 

bakery in Cherry Creek.

There were over 300 people that

applied for the position....

I was one of the top 3 picks!

The owner had the 3 of us come in

and bake anything we wanted....

Later that day, she offered me the job!

I won her over by baking these 

S'mores bars:

She added them to her menu

and we had a hard time keeping them stocked.

They are like the iconic 

s'more made with graham crackers,

chocolate and marshmallow...

just in a bar form.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 king-sized chocolate bars
• 1 1/2 cups marshmallow fluff

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F
2. Grease an 8X8 inch baking pan
3. cream together butter and sugar until light and then Beat in egg and vanilla. 
4. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt. 
5. Add the dry mix to the butter mixture and mix at a low speed until combined.
6. Divide dough in half and press 1/2 of dough into an even layer on the bottom of the baking pan. Place chocolate bars over dough. Spread fluff over the chocolate bars. Place remaining dough in a single layer on top of the fluff(it may not cover the entire top, but it looks better with little holes into the chocolatey, marshmallowy abyss anyway!)
7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool before cutting
8. They taste amazing warm, so after cutting them into squares heat it up IN THE OVEN (not a microwave...those make things soggy)

 

If you wanna spread the love to friends, family, coworkers, the dog groomer....etc

Make a little note that says 

"We love you S'more than you know"

Or just enjoy the love yourself...
