• Press mixture into 9x13 pan and bake 10 minutes.
• Top with 4 cups of the mini marshmallows and bake for 10 more minutes.

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.

NO-BAKE S'MORES BARS

Steps:

• Line a 9-inch square baking pan with waxed paper, overlapping all 4 sides. Spray with cooking spray.
• Place a nonstick pan over low heat and add the butter. When melted, add two-thirds of the marshmallows and cook, stirring, until the marshmallows have melted and combined with the butter, about 3 minutes. Next, fold in the chocolate chips and stir until they are melted too. Add the salt and half of the broken graham crackers and stir so the cracker pieces are incorporated into the chocolate marshmallow mixture but not broken up too much.
• Tip the mixture into the prepared pan and press it into the pan with a wooden spoon. Sprinkle over the remaining graham crackers and marshmallows, pressing them down with your hands so they set into the base. Next, add the coated candies and sprinkles and press them down.
• Allow to set for 1 hour before removing from the pan and cutting into bars. Or you can chill for 10 minutes and slice if you're in a hurry!

SPICY SMOKY S'MORES BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line the bottom and sides of a 9 by 13-inch baking pan with foil. You want to leave about 4 inches of overhang on the 2 opposite sides. These are going to serve as your handles to remove the bars from the pan in 1 piece, so make sure that there is enough of the overhang for you to have a solid grip. Grease the foil well with the softened butter.
• In your food processor, grind the graham crackers into a fine meal (you need 2 cups). In a large bowl, combine your crumbs with the sugar, sea salt and melted butter. The mixture should look and feel like wet sand. Set aside a heaping 1/2 cup of the crumb mixture for the topping. Evenly press the remaining crumb mixture into the bottom the foil-lined pan. Pop your crust into the oven and bake until it is golden brown and your kitchen smells of graham crackers, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the crust from the oven and allow it to cool on a rack or on a dishtowel on your counter.
• Melt the milk chocolate in a saucepan over low heat, stirring continuously until fully melted. Do not turn up the heat to hurry this process, you must keep it on low. Alternately, you can microwave the chocolate on low power, stirring after 2 minutes. Once the chocolate is fully melted, it's time to add the chipotle pepper powder, if using, and stir it in completely.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Pour the melted chocolate over the cooled graham cracker crust. Spread the chocolate evenly over the crust with a butter knife. Sprinkle the marshmallows over the chocolate and press them lightly into the chocolate. Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture over and in between the marshmallows so that you cannot see the chocolate peaking through the marshmallows. Broil the bars 6 inches from the flame until the marshmallows are golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Refrigerate the bars until the chocolate is hard, 2 hours or so. Grab the ends of the foil liner and lift the bars out of the pan in 1 piece. Move to a cutting board and cut into 24 squares.
