Want S'more?

Last week we had a cook-in (it was raining, so a cookout was...out). We still needed s'mores, though, so I baked some of these. The original recipe came from Baking Bites, but I always make a few changes, so I'll post my version below. 

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened

3/4 cup sugar

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

2/3 cup all-purpose flour

2/3 cup white whole wheat flour

3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

4 Hershey's milk chocolate bars (standard size, 1.55 oz)

1 cup marshmallow creme or Fluff

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 

Beat butter and sugar until fluffy, then add egg and vanilla and combine. In a separate bowl combine flours, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, and salt. Add to butter mixture and beat until blended. 

Press half of dough into 8-inch square baking pan. Arrange the chocolate bars over the dough, breaking as needed to fit. Spread with marshmallow creme (I grease my hands with a bit of oil or butter so the fluff won't stick to my fingers! I also leave a space around the edge so the fluff won't stick or burn to the pan.) Spread the remaining dough over the marshmallow. (Do this a bit at a time, flattening smaller pieces of dough between your fingers and fitting them together like a puzzle until the marshmallow is covered.)

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until lightly browned, then cool completely in the pan. Makes 16 rapidly disappearing bars.
