Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1/2 cup softened butter
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 & 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup finely crushed graham crackers (about 3.5 sheets)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
Toppings
- 5 standard Hershey bars, broken into pieces
- 1 & 1/2 cups marshmallow fluff
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is fluffy and light.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract thoroughly until fully incorporated.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour, finely crushed graham crackers, salt, and baking soda. Mix until just combined to avoid overworking the dough.
- Press Dough and Freeze: Press half of the cookie dough evenly into the prepared pan. Place the pan in the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm up the dough layer.
- Layer Chocolate and Marshmallow: Once chilled, evenly layer broken pieces of Hershey bars over the chilled dough. Spread marshmallow fluff evenly over the chocolate layer.
- Add Top Dough Layer and Bake: Flip the remaining chilled dough layer on top, covering the marshmallow layer completely. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and set.
- Cool and Slice: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before lifting out and slicing into squares for serving.
Notes
- Ensure the dough is well chilled before adding the top layer to prevent melting the marshmallow fluff.
- Use parchment paper to line the pan for easy removal and cleanup.
- You can substitute Hershey bars with milk or semi-sweet chocolate bars of your choice.
- Allow the bars to cool fully to let layers set, ensuring neat slices.
- Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
