FROZEN S'MORES BARS

Steps:

• On a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, lay out graham cracker squares.
• Top half of them with 2 tablespoons each of marshmallow fluff.
• Add the other half of graham cracker squares on top to form a sandwich.
• Freeze for 15-30 minutes.
• In a microwave-safe bowl, add chocolate chips.
• Microwave on high for 30 seconds at a time, until fully melted, stirring at each interval.
• Remove squares from freezer, and dip half in chocolate to coat.
• Add back to parchment-lined baking sheet, and freeze until ready to serve, or chocolate is solid.
• Keep frozen until ready to serve.

FROZEN S'MORES

Steps:

• Line a 9x13 pan with foil or parchment paper, allowing paper to overhang pan.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together pudding mix and milk until smooth and creamy. Pour into 9x13 pan and spread into an even layer. **See note**
• Chill pudding layer while you mix up the marshmallow layer.
• In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese and marshmallow cream until smooth. Fold in whipping topping.
• Spread marshmallow layer over chocolate layer. Cover with foil.
• Freeze layers about 6 hours, until firm enough to cut through (freezing time will vary depending on how cold your freezer is). Use the foil or parchment paper to remove layers from 9x13 pan and place on a cutting board.
• Break 15 graham crackers in half. Slice pudding/marshmallow layers into 15 squares the same size as the graham crackers. If your layers have frozen very hard you may want to wait 15 minutes before slicing.
• Sandwich layers in between two graham crackers. (Watch the video in the post for an easy way to do this.)
• Eat right away or store sandwiches in the freezer in an airtight bag or container. Graham crackers will soften slightly if stored in the freezer for a while, and I think that makes these taste even better. After they've been frozen, allow them to rest at room temperature 15-20 minutes before eating for the best texture.

FROZEN S'MORES

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler to high.
• Spray a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Spread the marshmallows on the baking sheet and broil until deep brown, about 30 seconds. Remove from the oven and set aside for 5 minutes to cool.
• In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the ice cream on medium-low speed until just soft. Add the toasted marshmallows and the chocolate chips and mix on low until just combined. Working quickly, scoop about 3 tablespoons of the ice cream mixture onto half of the graham crackers. Top with the remaining graham crackers and place in the freezer. Freeze until firm, at least 2 hours.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER S'MORES BARS

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.
