Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1/2 cup Butter (softened, salted or unsalted)
- 1/3 cup Brown sugar
- 1/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 & 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Graham crackers (finely crushed, about 3.5 sheets)
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 3/4 tsp Baking soda
Filling
- 5 standard Hershey bars
- 1 & 1/2 cup Marshmallow fluff
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating well to combine. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, finely crushed graham crackers, salt, and baking soda. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until fully incorporated to form the cookie dough.
- Assemble the Bars: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking pan (approximately 8×8 inches) with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Press half of the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the pan to form a base layer. Lay the Hershey bars evenly over this cookie base, making sure to cover the surface.
- Add the Marshmallow Layer: Spread the marshmallow fluff evenly over the chocolate layer, being careful to cover all areas so the marshmallows will melt nicely and stick to the layers.
- Top with Remaining Dough: Crumble or dollop the remaining half of the cookie dough over the marshmallow layer. Don’t worry if it’s not perfectly even, as it will spread slightly while baking.
- Bake the Bars: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the marshmallow layer is bubbly. Keep an eye on the edges to avoid burning.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, transfer the bars to a cutting board using the parchment paper edges and cut into squares. Serve at room temperature for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- For easier spreading, slightly warm the marshmallow fluff before layering.
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and less mess during cleanup.
- Chocolate bars can be swapped for milk or dark chocolate depending on preference.
- Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- These bars can be refrigerated to extend freshness, but bring to room temperature before serving for best texture.
