S'more S'mores Please

I did say I love s'mores...
My mom is hosting a backyard campout party next weekend and she put in a special order for a s'mores-like dessert for the party-goers who won't want to roast marshmallows.  While I'm not sure who wouldn't want to roast a marshmallow, I am sure that I'm up for taste-testing s'mores desserts!  These s'mores bars turned out just right; there's a nice crunch to the top cookie, and the inside is a gooey, melty mess of chocolate and marshmallow, just as it should be.  The only bad part about them is their 8x8 pan isn't quite big enough.  So, here's to next weekend's anti-mallow roasting partiers and to campfire-less s'mores lovers...enjoy!


Graham Cracker Cookie Ingredients
1/2 cup        butter
1/4 cup        brown sugar (plus an extra spoonful or two!)
1/2 cup        sugar
1                  egg
1 tsp            vanilla
1 1/3 cups     flour
3/4 cup        Honey Maid Cinnamon graham cracker crumbs (about 1/2 a pack of crackers)
1 tsp             baking powder
1/4 tsp          salt

Chocolate Ingredients
2 extra large Hershey's Milk Chocolate bars

Marshmallow Ingredients
1 1/2 containers Jet Puffed Marshmallow Fluff (about 1 1/2 cups)

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2.  Spray sides of 8x8in baking pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper.
3.  Place 1/2 pack of graham crackers in a gallon back and smash or roll into crumbs with a rolling pin.
4.  Cream together butter and sugars.
5.  Mix in egg and vanilla.
6.  Mix in dry ingredients (flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, and salt).
7.  Press half of the dough into the baking pan, evenly covering bottom of pan.
8.  Place chocolate bars side by side on top of the dough in baking pan.
9.  Spread marshmallow fluff over chocolate bars.  This is a sticky job, but a little extra marshmallow never hurt!
10.  Roll out remaining half of graham cracker cookie dough to size of 8x8 pan.
11.  Cut or tear dough into pieces (I tried to do it with one big piece and it did not work at all) and completely cover marshmallow fluff, sealing all sides of pan.
12.  Bake for 30 minutes.
13.  Cool, cut, and (in the words of Ham) stuff!
