Best of Both Worlds S'mores Bars

Submitted by Kater

"The urge to bake hit me so I went looking thru my 'Zaar cookbooks. I had saved a couple recipes for Smores Bars and while both looked good, there were things about both that were different and yet, in my mind, delicious sounding. So this is my attempt at combining those two recipes (Zaney1's S'More Bars #180649 and carolinafan's Smores Bars #95686)."
