Something New...

So, I thought I'd try a different approach to my blogging. Since my obsession with Pinterest has flourish in the past month I've been inspired to make and create a whole lot of goodies for my family and friends. I love finding new and creative ideas, to think outside of the box and make being a stay at home Mom look cool! So to begin my newest venture in the blogging world I will start by sharing a dangerously wonderful recipe with you: S'mores Cookie Bars. I found this recipe on Pinterest which led me to Lovin the Oven's amazing S'more Cookie Bar recipe I warn you now, these are AMAZING. I pretty much ate the whole first (and second) batch that I made. Try them and let me know how they turned out! Enjoy!

 These are how my turned out...and they taste even better than they look!

S'more Cookie Bars
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 king-sized milk chocolate bars (e.g. Hershey’s) *I used Lindt Chocolate Bars*
1 1/2 cups marshmallow creme/fluff (find them with the ice cream toppings in the grocery store)

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light. Beat in egg and vanilla. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt. Add to butter mixture and mix at a low speed until combined.
Divide dough in half and press half of dough into an even layer on the bottom of the prepared pan. Place chocolate bars over dough. 2 king-sized chocolate bars should fit perfectly side by side, but break the chocolate to get it to fit in a single layer no more than 1/4 inch thick. Spread chocolate with marshmallow creme or fluff. Place remaining dough in a single layer on top of the fluff (most easily achieved by flattening the dough into small shingles and laying them together) Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool completely before cutting into bars.
Pin It!
