Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 1/2 cup Butter, softened (salted or unsalted)
  • 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 Graham crackers, finely crushed (about 3.5 sheets)
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 3/4 tsp Baking soda

Filling

  • 5 standard Hershey bars
  • 1 & 1/2 cups Marshmallow fluff

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper and set it aside, ensuring easy removal of the bars after baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is well combined and fluffy. Then add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly for a smooth batter.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Incorporate the all-purpose flour, finely crushed graham crackers, salt, and baking soda. Mix gently just until the flour mixture disappears into the dough, avoiding overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
  4. Form Dough Layers: Press half of the cookie dough evenly into the prepared baking pan. Carefully remove the parchment paper with the dough layer and place it in the freezer. Re-line the pan with new parchment paper and press the remaining dough evenly for the top layer.
  5. Assemble the Bars: Arrange the Hershey chocolate bars over the bottom dough layer in the pan, breaking pieces as needed to cover the entire surface. Spread the marshmallow fluff evenly over the chocolate bars. Then gently remove the chilled bottom dough layer from the freezer and flip it over the marshmallow fluff layer, ensuring it stays intact as the top crust.
  6. Bake: Bake the assembled bars in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. After baking, allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing to achieve clean, defined layers and a beautiful cross section.

Notes

  • Using parchment paper makes it easy to remove and slice the bars neatly.
  • Freezing the bottom dough layer helps it stay firm and intact during assembly.
  • Let the bars cool completely to prevent the marshmallow from oozing out when sliced.
  • You can substitute Hershey bars with any milk or semi-sweet chocolate bars as preferred.
  • Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
