Boo! Don't be scared!  These are only *the cutest* little s'mores bars...no campfire required!

These Spooky S'mores Bars have a thick graham cracker cookie base, a layer of milk chocolate, and are topped with ghost-shaped Peeps marshmallows. 

S'mores lovers: you'll also want to make this Sublime S'mores Brownies recipe! ohmygoodness.

The cookie layer is simple, and so good...graham cracker crumbs, oats, butter, etc. After that bakes, the cookie is topped with a layer of Hershey bars...yum!  Then, on go the ghost-shaped Peeps.

"I'm not kidding...these are scary good!" 

 

{Put them on upside-down since their faces will melt off under the broiler...how is that for creepy?} ;)

Don't worry...once the marshmallows cool, you can draw the faces on with a food coloring pen. Please don't skip this step, y'all. Your yummy little marshmallow ghosts need their faces for the ultimate in cute! 

If you don't want to order food coloring pens online, find them in the baking section of your local craft store like Hobby Lobby or Michael's. You might even see them at your grocery store (mine carries them) as well as Target and WalMart.

Spooky S’mores Bars

YIELD: 12 bars

PREP TIME: 15 minutes

BAKE TIME: 22 minutes

 

1 cup unbleached, all-purpose flour

1/3 cup rolled oats

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1 teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 cup salted butter, melted

3/4 cup packed light brown Imperial sugar

1 egg

4 full-size milk chocolate candy bars, such as Hershey's 

12 ghost-shaped marshmallows

Black food coloring pen (optional)

 

Preheat oven to 350.  Butter an 8x8” pan.  Line with parchment paper, letting the ends overlap.  Butter the parchment.

 

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, oats, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, and salt.

 

In a bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar together.  Add in the egg and mix well.  Stir in the flour mixture until combined.

 

Spread into the prepared pan, smooth the top evenly and bake until done, about 18-20 minutes.  Let cool on a wire rack.

 

Once cooled, cover the top with the candy bars, breaking up the 4^th bar to cover the cookie base completely.  Top with 12 ghost-shaped marshmallows. (Place the ghosts face down, as the faces will melt under the broiler.)

 

Move the top oven rack to the next to highest position (closer to the flame can cause the parchment to burn). Set the oven to Low Broil.  Place the bars in the oven for 1-2 minutes until the chocolate is melty and marshmallows are golden.  Let cool, then use the food coloring pen to add eyes and mouths to the ghosts. Lift out of the pan using the parchment overhang.  Cut into bars.  Serve warm or at room temperature.
