RECIPE
Yield 12 bars

1 stick butter, softened to room temperature

3/4 cup packed light brown sugar

1 Tablespoon vanilla extract

1 large egg

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup graham cracker crumbs (8 graham crackers crushed)

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 heaping cup marshmallow creme
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8" x 8" square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving enough over the edge of the sides to easily remove the bars when they have cooled. Set aside.

In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and brown sugar together on medium-high speed for 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla. Scrape the sides of the bowl down as needed.

Toss the flour, graham cracker crumbs, and baking powder together until combined. Add dry ingredients to wet mixture. Mix until combined.

Press 2/3 of the graham cookie dough into prepared pan. Spread the marshmallow creme on top. This will be difficult because the marshmallow creme is so sticky (I wet my fingertips to allow me to spread the marshmallow creme). Sprinkle the marshmallow creme with chocolate chips. Mold the remaining cookie dough into flat pieces and layer on top of the chocolate chips. There isn’t enough dough to make one solid single layer, so some chocolate chips will be exposed. That's great!

Bake the bars for 25 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown. Allow to cool completely before removing from pan.

These bars are AMAZING and a real crowd pleaser! They last a week covered tightly, but I guarantee they will be gone in a
