I’m so bored with chocolate chip cookies, you have no idea. I’ve been making them for thirty years. Three zero. It’s time to branch out. How about a new recipe for Smores Bars? I took the basic principle behind Rice Krispy treats and transformed them with a recipe that’s almost as easy, but totally different.
3 cellophane packages of graham crackers
1 large bag of mini marshmallows, 2 cups reserved
1/4 cup of butter
1 package of milk chocolate chips (12 oz)
9×13 pan lined with parchment and sprayed with non-stick spray
Turn on oven broiler. Sprinkle 1 cup of the chocolate chips in the sprayed 9×13 pan and place on the lowest oven shelf for 1 minute while oven is heating, then remove. The chips will still be holding their shape, so use an off-set spatula to spread the melted chips evenly on the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle the remaining chips evenly in the pan and place pan in fridge to cool.
Empty 3 cellophane packages of graham crackers into a Ziploc bag. Bang them with a rolling pin, trying to keep the pieces to about the size of a nickel.
Melt the butter in a large pot, then add the marshmallows (except the 2 reserved cups.) Stir the marshmallows frequently over low heat until melted. Add the crushed graham crackers and stir to combine. Pour into the chocolate-prepared pan. You will probably need to spray your hands with non-stick spray to smoosh the mixture evenly in the pan. Sprinkle with the remaining marshmallows and put under broiler. DO NOT WALK AWAY. Rotate the pan a little while the marshmallows get golden on top, like a toasted S’More!
Cool the pan in the fridge until chocolate is set, about 45 minutes. Slice and serve!
