S'more Bars

A recipe I found in my Simple and Delicious magazine that looks so yummy in the picture!! Posting here for safe keeping, Here is what the author of the recipe states: Once school starts, it can be hard for kids to let go of summer. But these rich, gooey, great-tasting bars will bring back sweet campfire memories—and smiles—whether they're served for dessert or as an after-school snack. Lisa DiPrima - Wilton, New Hampshire

• Ready In: 45 mins
• Serves: 18
• Yields: 1 1/2 dozen bars

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup butter, softened
• 3⁄4 cup sugar
• 1  egg
• 1  teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1⁄3 cups all-purpose flour
• 3⁄4 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 1  teaspoon baking powder
• 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
• 5  milk chocolate candy bars (1.55 ounces each)
• 1  cup marshmallow creme

Directions

1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; beat well. Combine the flour, cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. Set aside 1/2 cup for topping.
2. Press remaining mixture into a greased 9-in. square baking pan. Place candy bars over crust; spread with marshmallow creme. Crumble remaining graham cracker mixture over top. Note: To easily remove marshmallow creme from a jar, place the jar in a pan of very hot water. Repeat this once or twice, and then spoon out the creme with a wooden spoon.
3. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars. Store in an airtight container.
