Chewy graham, Hershey bar and marshmallow bars are easy to make and really yummy.
1 c butter
1 1/2 c granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 t vanilla
2 2/3 c flour
1 1/2 c graham cracker crumbs
2 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
10 Hershey milk chocolate bars (1.55 oz each)
6 c miniature marshmallows
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugar in large bowl with electric mixer until well blended. Beat in eggs and vanilla until smooth. In a small bowl, combine flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt; add to butter mixture and beat until blended. Press half of dough into a 9"x13" pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
Arrange chocolate bars over baked layer; sprinkle with marshmallows and then scatter remaining dough over marshmallows. to form top layer.
Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Cut into bars. Makes 16 bars.
Note: I used a nonstick baking pan. If you aren't, you may want to lightly grease pan just in case. Cookies shouldn't stick due the large amount of butter in the batter, but, you never know.
