S'mores Cookie Bars
slightly adapted from Lovin' from the Oven
Makes 16
115g unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup caster sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/3 cup plain flour
3/4 cup Digestive biscuit crumbs (I blitzed about 7 Digestive biscuits in my food processor)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups marshmallow fluff (not marshmallows)
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees C. Grease a 20cm square cake pan with cooking oil spray and line the base with baking paper. Leave the baking paper to over-hang two sides of the pan, that way it will be easier to unmould.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and both sugars together on a medium speed until light and creamy. Reduce the speed to low and gently beat in the egg and vanilla.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, biscuit crumbs, baking powder and salt. Add to the butter mixture and mix on low speed until just incorporated.
Divide the dough in half and press one half into the base of the prepared pan. Spread the marshmallow fluff evenly over the dough layer (I resorted to using an ice cream scoop to get the fluff out of the jar, and a very sticky spatula to spread the fluff.) Sprinkle an even layer of chocolate chips over the marshmallow layer, then finish with the remaining dough. I broke off small portions of dough, flattened them between my palms then placed them like tiles over the chocolate layer.
Bake for 30 minutes, until lightly browned. Leave to cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
I've seen marshmallow fluff in the supermarket and wondered what to do with it.
ReplyDeleteThese bars look so good!
Ahh, this is exactly what I'm talking about.. Gooey, gorgeous comfort in a bar. Wish I had one right now. Yumm...
ReplyDeleteTalk about ooey gooey goodness. Yum...I might actually attempt camping if there was a promise to serve those!
ReplyDeleteoh they look delish!
ReplyDeleteCan I have the whole pan?
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing. I love the pictures...the only problem is they're making me drool!
ReplyDeletethey looks so delicious but I think it will be difficult for me to make
ReplyDeleteOhhh! Reminds me of a campfire :) Really nice idea!
ReplyDeleteMmmm s'mores without the trouble of a fire! So accessible I love this idea :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Emma - My advice to you regarding Marshmallow Fluff... Don't Buy It. If you succumb to the temptation, you'll be "sticking" it in everything. You can trust me on this. My name is Jen and I'm a Marshmallow Fluff-aholic.
ReplyDeleteThanks Maria - couldn't have said it better myself.
ReplyDeleteHaha Jessica. I only went camping once and will never do it again - that's my idea of torture. Good thing you don't need a campfire, tent, mosquitos, hard floors to sleep on, noisy fellow campers, discomfort, no bathrooms, hot weather, freezing weather or anything else that usually goes with camping to have as many of these as you want. YAY!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dina - they are.
ReplyDeleteHey Little Kitchie - only if you promise to share it with me.
ReplyDelete@dbandjelly. Thanks for stopping by. We encourage drooling here.
ReplyDeleteThanks Andréanne.
ReplyDeleteThanks Laura - I could go my whole life and not go camping, but I don't want to miss out on ANY s'mores eating.
ReplyDeleteThese look great, can't wait to try it!! Do you think I could use graham crackers instead of digestive biscuits?
ReplyDeleteGraham crackers would be perfect - digestive biscuits are pretty much the same thing. Enjoy!
DeleteI just made these (it's our first summer holiday here in the US) and they both look and smell divine. Love using digestives over graham crackers. Thank you for a great recipe (and beautiful photographs)!
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to leave a comment. I'm so glad you enjoyed these. They are a favourite of ours.
