Yummo.....S'mores Bars

Who says you can only eat s'mores around a campfire? Here's a recipe that's sure to make your family happy. Mine can barely wait til the pan is cool enough to dig in. I can't take credit for the recipe as I got it from someone else on the internet a few years back but thought I would pass it on. So if you find yourself hankering for some s'mores, whip up a bunch.

S'mores Bars

3/4c butter
1 egg
2/3 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla
½ tsp salt
3½c small marshmallows
½c flour
18 whole graham crackers (crushed)
8 milk chocolate bars (1½ oz size)

Beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Add flour and salt. Stir in crushed graham crackers reserving 1 cup. Mix. Press mixture into bottom of a greased pan. Arrange chocolate bars in a layer over top graham cracker mixture. Sprinkle marshmallows. Sprinkle reserved crushed graham crackers over marshmallows. Bake 25-30 minutes @350 or until golden brown. Cool in pan on wire rack 10 min. Cut into bars. Cool completely.
