Recipe: S'mores bars


Let me start off by saying I can in no way take credit for this recipe but it's so good and very easy to make that I thought I'd share it anyway. My friend Cassondra gave me the recipe and she got it from a cookie swap party.
I also saw a version of this online where everything was made from scratch- the crust, the brownie layer, etc., but really, I think I'm more of a boxed mix kinda girl and that's why I love this recipe.

You will need:




Graham crackers ( I used about 1/2 of a 14 oz box)

Boxed brownie mix ( any brand you like, prepped according to the directions on the box)
2 cups mini marshmallows

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

2/3 cup peanuts - optional ( I think walnuts or macadamias would taste great also)

Directions:
preheat oven to 350 degrees

arrange graham crackers in a single layer on a greased pan

prepare brownie batter according to package directions and pour over graham crackers




bake according to package directions minus 5 minutes


Sprinkle the marshmallows, chocolate chips and nuts and finish baking for the remaining 5 minutes or until marshmallow tops brown slightly.




cool completely before cutting. ENJOY!



note: my husband reheated them in the toaster oven the next day which browned the marshmallows a bit more and gave them the freshly baked taste again.
