Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup finely crushed graham crackers
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 5 standard Hershey’s chocolate bars
- 1 1/2 cups marshmallow fluff
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes). Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, finely crushed graham crackers, salt, and baking soda.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; stop once no dry streaks of flour remain.
- Press about two-thirds of the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan, extending to the edges and corners.
- Arrange the 5 standard Hershey’s chocolate bars (broken into individual pieces if preferred) evenly over the pressed cookie dough layer.
- Crumble the remaining one-third of the cookie dough unevenly over the chocolate layer, creating a rustic top crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top cookie layer is lightly golden brown and set. The edges should appear slightly more golden.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Immediately and evenly spread the marshmallow fluff over the warm, baked cookie bars.
- Let the bars cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2-3 hours to allow the chocolate and marshmallow fluff to set. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhangs to lift the slab from the pan. Slice into 12-16 squares with a sharp knife and serve immediately. For cleaner cuts, warm your knife under hot water and dry it between slices.
Notes
- Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature.
- For variations, add nuts or different chocolates.
- These bars can be frozen for later enjoyment.
