Toasted Marshmallow S’more Bars

For a long time this year I held out on the s'more bandwagon, until I posted these s'more roll-ups.

I do love a good s'more... but my favorite part is the toasted goodness of those marshmallows over a camp fire.  These bars are a delightful combination of what I love about a good s'more and a good dessert bar.

 

You'll enjoy these.

Toasted Marshmallow S’more Bars – SnoWhite’s Mom

Ingredients

• 3/4 C butter
• 3/4 C brown sugar
• 2 C white whole wheat flour
• 1 C crushed graham cracker crumbs
• 2 C dark chocolate chips
• 4 C mini marshmallows
• 1/4 C milk
• 1 bag of caramels*

Directions

Begin by softening the 3/4 C butter, and add to it 3/4 C brown sugar.  Then, add the 2 C white whole wheat flour and 1 C crushed graham cracker crumbs.  Mix until well combined.  Then, press the crumbs into a greased 9x13 baking dish.

Sprinkle the marshmallows over the crust layer, then sprinkle the chocolate chips.  Then, if you are using a bag of caramels, unwrap and melt the caramels with the 1/4 C milk.  If you are making your own caramel, prepare according to directions.  Pour the caramel over the top of the marshmallows and chocolate chips.

Bake the bars at 375 for 15-20 minutes until marshmallows are lightly browned.

Cool for 15 minutes or more before slicing & serving.

The best way to cut these bars is with a wet knife!  No kidding… that’s the only way you’ll be able to slice them without the marshmallows going everywhere! 

*alternatively, you can use this caramel sauce recipe; if you do - omit the 1/4 C milk.
