Baking: S'Mores

Right so I am a subscriber of xsparkage and a while ago she uploaded a video of these GORGEOUS Smores cookie bars, and I wanted to make them as soon as I saw them, but as per usual I'm late with doing things. So just before Christmas I decided to get baking. They didn't exactly turn out exactly how Leesha's did, but they tasted bloody brilliant.

Recipe:

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)
1 1/2 cups marshmallow creme/fluff (not melted marshmallows)

·

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 Hershey’s bars should fit perfectly side by side, but break the chocolate (if necessary) 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

Makes 16 cookie bars.

*Note: 3/4 cup crumbs is approx 7 full-sized graham cracker sheets, whizzed in the food processor until fine.

So here are some pics of my cooking skills...

The wondrous item that is what makes these bars so scrummy...FLUFF. Fluff isn't the easiest thing to come by. There are websites that sell American food goods, but I haven't come across one that looks legit enough for me to order food from :S

There is also supposedly a place in Leicester Square that sells American food stuff, but I don't know where it is and I've heard its pretty pricey. I got mine at TK Maxx of all places lol for £3.99, they have a food corner of lots of different foods and also foods only available in the states.














I cant explain how good these tasted, although the final pic of the bar doesn't look the most glamorous (if that is even the word? haha) but they are soooooooooooooooo good.

If any of you try these out please let me know how they turn out.
