S'mores - big kid style!

I have joined an adult organization - with meetings, events, and fundraisers.  Apparently a lot of fundraisers for adult organizations consist of feeds.  I've been invited to spaghetti feeds, beef feeds, fish feeds, pork feeds...and my particular organization is hosting it's annual Chili Feed!  Fortunately for me, I have no idea how to make chili. I do however make a mean dessert and with M working for a chocolate company I know make a seriously mean chocolate dessert.

On the menu today - Chocolate Peanut Butter S'more Bars.  They are easy, pretty dang quick and ooooh so delicious.

Preheat Oven to 350.  Make a Graham Cracker Crust -I use this recipe doubled, substituting chocolate graham crackers for the standard issue.  I put in in a 9x13 pan and cover the bottom and up the sides.  This is important as marshmallows and the chocolate stick to the pan, breaking your bars, otherwise.

Once the crust has cooled (yeah for a fridge that's mostly empty) I put in my Peanut Butter Chocolate wafers down in a single layer, covering most of the bottom of the crust.  This goes in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until soft and spreadable.  Smooth out the Chocolate to cover the entire bottom. and slightly up the edge.  Then I dump in mini marshmallows.  Remember these will expand as they heat, so you don't need to fill it up to the top of the pan.  About half-way is good, or at least enough to cover the chocolate.

Bake at 350 for approximately 10 minutes until the top layer of marshmallows are golden brown.

You should have a beautiful pan of golden lumps like the one above.  You'll also have a wonderful smell in your kitchen.  Resist the temptation and let them cool completely before cutting.  Sadly some of the fluff in the marshmallows will have deflated, but they are still oh so good.

Enjoy!
