LISTEN TO THE PODCAST
And this is a different kind of s'more. It's one that has all of the flavor of the classic campfire snack, with maybe a fraction of the mess! Ali Rosen, who wrote the new cookbook Bring It, came by
S’mores Bars
Much
as I would like to, it’s not practical to have a campfire in the middle of your
home (we can
dream
though, right?). This dessert takes classic flavors and makes them portable.
The s’mores bars are like condensed little campfire treats that are also pretty
simple to make. I take the path of least resistance here: there’s no premelting
or overly complicated scenarios. Just layer the ingredients on top of one
another, and leave carrying the firewood to someone else.
Makes 8 to 10 Servings
Ingredients
3 cups
crushed graham crackers
2/3 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup salted butter,
melted,
plus additional
for the pan
1 egg,
beaten
1 cup
semisweet chocolate chips
2 cups
mini marshmallows
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease
a baking pan, approximately 13 x 9 inches.
Stir the crushed graham crackers,
brown sugar, butter, and egg together until fully incorporated. Spread the
mixture across the baking pan. Bake it in the oven for 15 minutes, until the
crust is firm.
Remove the pan from the oven and
sprinkle the chocolate chips and marshmallows evenly over the crust. Return to
the oven to bake for 10 more minutes, and then turn on the broiler and broil
for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute, making sure to brown but not burn the
top.
Remove and allow to fully cool to
at least room temperature. Cut into squares before serving.
