CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER S'MORES BARS



Chocolate Peanut Butter S'mores Bars image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     dessert

Time 2h30m

Yield 20 bars

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 sticks (1cup) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
6 full size chocolate bars, such as Hershey's
One 13-ounce container marshmallow creme
1/2 cup peanut butter chips
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Non-stick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13 straight-sided baking pan with parchment, letting the parchment hang over the long sides by about 2 inches (this will help you remove the bars from the pan later). Spray all the parchment, including the exposed ends, with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Add the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt to a medium-sized bowl then whisk to combine. Set aside. Add the butter and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. On medium-low speed, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Turn the mixer off and add in the flour mixture and stir by hand until just combined.
  • Divide the dough in half. Using clean hands, place pieces of the dough all over the base of the prepared pan (this will make it easier to spread it into a crust that covers the base of the pan). Lightly spray your clean hands with the non-stick spray then gently press and mold the dough to cover the base of the pan.
  • Place the chocolate bars on top of the dough in an even flat layer. Press slightly to adhere the chocolate to the dough. It will not cover the dough completely but will melt and spread as it bakes. Similar to the dough, dollop the marshmallow creme all over the chocolate bars. Spray your clean hands with the non-stick spray then use them to gently spread the marshmallow creme to completely cover the chocolate bars and dough. Sprinkle the peanut butter chips and the semi-sweet chocolate chips on top of the marshmallow creme. Spray your hands once again then take the remaining half of the dough and gently flatten into pancake-like pieces. Place them on top of the chips allowing some of the marshmallow creme and chips to peek through.
  • Bake until golden brown, about 35 minutes. Let the bars cool completely before cutting into squares.

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
1 cup sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

7 cups cereal flakes, such as Special K
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
Flaky salt
Sprinkles, for topping, if desired

Steps:

  • In a large pot, combine the sugar, corn syrup, vanilla and salt over medium heat and cook until the sugar is melted. Stir in the peanut butter, then the cereal. Pour into the prepared pan and pack it down firmly and evenly with a spatula. Scatter the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips all over the top.
  • Bake until the chips are melty, about 3 minutes. Use an offset spatula to spread the melted chips in an even layer all over the top. Sprinkle with flaky salt and sprinkles if using and allow to set at room temperature or in the fridge. Slice into 25 squares.

Categories     Cookie Recipes

Time 1h15m

Yield Makes 16

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided, plus more for pan
1 bag (10 ounces) mini marshmallows
Pinch of flaky sea salt, such as Jacobsen or Maldon, plus more for sprinkling
4 cups puffed-rice cereal
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped (2/3 cup)

Steps:

  • Brush a 9-inch square baking pan with butter; line with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a pot over medium heat. Add marshmallows and salt; cook, stirring, until melted. Remove from heat; stir in cereal. Press mixture into prepared pan in an even layer. Let cool 15 minutes.
  • In a small saucepan, combine sugar and 3 tablespoons water. Cover and cook over medium heat, swirling pan a few times, until sugar has dissolved and mixture comes to a boil. Uncover and cook, undisturbed, until mixture turns amber, about 3 minutes more. Remove from heat. Carefully add cream and 2 tablespoons butter (it will bubble up); stir until smooth. Let cool completely, about 1 hour. Whisk in peanut butter. Spread mixture evenly over crust and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Melt chocolate and remaining 3 tablespoons butter in a small heat-proof bowl set over (but not in) a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Spread evenly over caramel layer. Let stand 5 minutes, then sprinkle with salt and refrigerate until set, at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours. Lift from pan using overhangs. Using a serrated knife, cut into squares. Refrigerate in an airtight container between pieces of parchment up to 3 days.
