“Snack”urday: S’mores Cookie Bars

by Amanda @ A Few Short Cuts on May 27, 2011

I’ll give you a minute with the picture…..They look good don’t they?! Gooey, Chocolaty, with that cookie bottom. It is basically a s’more, but better! I originally found this recipe on the back of a package of Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Mix. With this weeks sales on chocolate, marshmallows and graham crackers, I couldn’t resist.

Now, this wouldn’t be a “Snackurday if I didn’t change it up a little bit. I mixed in peanut butter chips with the chocolate chips for that added “something”. You could make them with our without, but in my opinion the peanut butter chips give them that push to excellence!

These are so easy and so quick, you will want to make them all the time. Seriously 5 minute prep time. That is it! No joke! So this weekend bake up a batch of these Smore Cookie Bars for you BBQ. Everyone will love you!

Tips:

Dairy Free: Use a dairy free margarine and a full 3 cups of Ghirardelli chocolate chips. No peanut butter chips.
Lining the pan with aluminum foil will help a ton! It makes it so much easier to remove the bars when cool.

Don’t forget you can get marshmallows free when you buy graham crackers and Hershey’s chocolate this week at Target. Check out all the details at Totally Target!
