Reese S’mores Bar
The title alone, stops me in my tracks, this campfire treat is no longer just for the good old out doors. This recipe was inspired by my mother who loves Reese Peanut Butter Cups. I remember being a young girl and when we would make s’mores we would have a variety of candy bars to put into them. Don’t get me wrong there is nothing wrong with the old fashion Hershey bar but if you have ever tried placing a oozy gooey Peanut Butter Cup in the middle of your burnt marshmallow and soft graham cracker you will know how this sweet yet decadent dessert came to be!
The one thing that I love about this recipe is that it is not overly sweet, and the cinnamon in the graham cracker crust ties it all together. It is great by itself and it works well as a base an ice cream sundae!
BEFORE YOU START:
- Preheat your oven to 350
- Line an 8×10 baking sheet with wax paper and spray with baking spray
Ingredients Graham Cracker Crust
- 1-1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs ( 2 of the 3 wrapping in a box)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/3 cup flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 salt
Ingredients For Filling
- 8 packets of the large Reese Peanut Butter Cups
- 2 Cans of Marshmallow fluff 7oz each
Instructions
- In a food processor blended your graham crackers, add the butter, cinnamon , sugar, egg, brown sugar, flour , salt .
- Divide crust into two bowls. With one bowl pack the bottom of the baking pan. If you have some left over that is fine use it for the top but make sure the bottom is completely covered.
- Place Reese peanut butter cups on top of crust an inch apart, there should be 15, the extra one you can use to eat while you wait.
- I found it easier to place fluffy with a large spoon on top of the cups, and than in between the cups. I let the heat from the oven spread it out. *Side note place your spoon in hot water before you start.
- Place top layer of crust, this will also help you move the fluff around. Pack the crust well and place into the oven.
- Bake until tops is gold brown and some of the marshmallow is coming through. About 30-45 minutes.
