With layers of rich chocolate, fluffy marshmallow creme, and a soft graham cracker-infused dough, these bars are sure to be a hit at any gathering.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup fine graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 (4.4 oz) XL Hershey milk chocolate bars
• 1 (7 oz) jar marshmallow creme

Directions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter an 8×8-inch baking dish and line it with parchment paper. Leave some overhang for easy removal later. Butter the parchment paper for extra non-stick protection.
2. Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking soda, and salt. In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream the softened butter with the brown and granulated sugars until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
3. Assemble the Bars: Divide the dough in half. Press one half evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange the Hershey bars side by side on top of the dough layer. Evenly spread the marshmallow creme over the chocolate. Take the remaining dough, form it into small flat pieces (about the size of a golf ball), and layer them over the marshmallow creme, ensuring full coverage.
4. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 27-30 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown. Once baked, allow the S’mores Bars to cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
