S'mores Bars-4th of July Dessert

 S'mores Bars

So, I wanted to try this out for a while, and 4th of July seemed like an ideal time for it. It's super easy, and I'm not even going to bother writing out the recipe. Basically, make the traditional recipe for rice krispie treats, the marshmallow kind. Instead of using 6 cups of the cereal, use one regular-size box of graham crackers that you crush up gently. You aren't going for powder, but you want the pieces to be smaller than bite size. They crush really easily in your hand and I measured, one box makes exactly the 6 cups you need. When the butter and marshmallows are melted, fold them in like normal. You'll need a strong spoon or spatula because they are more solid than the cereal and need a bit more strength to mix properly.

After putting them in the 9x13 pan, melt regular Hershey's milk chocolate bars, the kind that usually go in a S'more, then pour it all over the top and spread out evenly. That's it, that's all you do! I had to put them in the fridge for a while to get the chocolate to harden cuz it was too hot out, but definitely take them back out again when you're ready to cut and let it come to room temp. The crackers get hard in the fridge and are hard to cut and eat. 

These are super easy and super delish. Highly recommend them!

Happy eating!
