S'Mores Bars



I have been on a S'mores kick lately.  See some of my pins: Milk Chocolate S'moreos, Nutella S'mores Dip, Peanut Butter S'mores Dip, Grilled S'mores Banana SplitsS'more PaniniS'mores Brownies, Samoa S'mores, S'mores Brownie Pie... If there's a 12 step program for those with chocolate / graham cracker / marshmallow addictions I only want to join if one of the steps involves eating S'mores... In any event, when I stumbled across these S'mores Bars I decided they were going on my menu that week. We had company over for Labor Day and these were our dessert. Campfire goodies without the smoke. :) They were chewy and everyone gave them big thumbs up. They disappeared in about 24 hours flat. My son really liked these! I loved the soft pieces of chocolate combined with the chewy cookie base and the gooey melted marshmallows. Happiness in a little bar. I will definitely make these again!
