By AprilPublished Who doesn't love the gooey, chocolatey goodness of s'mores? The combination of toasted marshmallows, melted chocolate, and graham crackers is a classic treat that brings back memories of summer nights by the campfire.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Line an 8-inch square baking dish with aluminum foil or parchment, ensuring there is a 2-inch overhang on the ends for easy removal of the bars.
In a small bowl, combine ground grahams, flour, sugar, and salt. Stir well.
In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, egg, and vanilla using an electric mixer on low speed. Mix until the ingredients are creamy and combined, without incorporating too much air.
Add the graham mixture to the bowl and continue to beat on low speed until the ingredients are just combined, forming large crumbles.
Take about two-thirds of the mixture and firmly press it down into the prepared baking dish.
Keep aside a small amount (about 1/2-ounce) of the chocolate for garnish. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate pieces over the pressed graham mixture in the baking dish.
Spoon dollops of marshmallow creme over the chocolate, spreading it out to cover more of the base.
Place the remaining cookie batter in small clusters over the chocolate and marshmallow creme, ensuring that the creme is mostly covered.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes, or until the dough turns golden brown and the cookie in the center feels firm.
As it bakes, the marshmallow creme will puff up through the crumble
