How Can you make S'mores without having a fire?

It's easy! Just make S'mores bars . It has everything you need to be happy.. Chocolate.. Marshmallows and graham crackers.

I really wanted to make s'mores but Fire + apartment does not equal a fun time.  Not that I would start a fire but ... none the less.


So I'm not really sure where I found this recipe but I cut it out of something on cardboard so I'm guessing its from a Graham cracker box.  It looked good, so I filed it under "to make sometime".  I am soo glad I made these.  Only problem is they are sooo delicious so I might have to give them away.  I don't want to eat them all..

Had to try a little bit :) 

S'mores Cookie Bars
Ingredients
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 2/3 cups flour
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 8 oz. pkgs. Chocolate bars
6 cups mini marshmallows

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until well blended.  Add eggs and vanilla, beat well.
In a separate bowl, stir together flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt ; add to butter mixture, beating until blended.  press half of dough in a prepared 9x13 pan ( save remaining dough ) Bake the dough for 15 minutes.

Arrange chocolate bars over baked layer.  Sprinkle with marshmallows; scatter bits of remaining dough over marshmallows, forming top layer

Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned ( I had to bake a little bit longer ) Cool completely in pan


* try to remember to break up graham crackers before you start or else you will use up WAY TOO MUCH TIME
p.s Also a good idea to have your boyfriend do this job.  : P


Also.. Jon and I went to Goodwill the other day and I wasn't planning on buying anything but I saw something and I instantly fell in love <3

Isn't It cute? 

Jon and I started making our own iced tea.  He likes Sweet tea and I like Unsweetened tea, so that means every time we went to the store we had to buy two different things of tea ( not cheap) and this boy knows how to drink tea. Hopefully he will drink more tea then soda, its a little bit better for you.

Mm.. The start to Sun tea 

Next week I might update a little late, I'm going to be on Vacation (woohoo Cape Cod) Almost every year I go with my family, or with friends.  I'm so glad I am going this year.  Even though I moved to Texas I'm glad I still have time to take a break and see my family.. It's been far too long not seeing them.. or my cats.
Every year in Cape Cod we always have a fire on the beach. So hopefully I can get some good pictures of that to post.

Guess I should start packing.


Hope you all have a good Tuesday!
