Peanut Butter Cup Smore's


The second I saw these on Pinterest I knew I had to try them! I am a huge lover of all things peanut butter so to me this was heaven sent. I found the recipe at fashionchicsta.blogspot.com. The traditional smore is already a delicious gooey treat and this just takes it to a whole other level. One of my favorite things about this is the soft chewy crust on the top and bottom. Regular smores are usually pretty messy with the graham cracker smashing the marshmallow. You don't have that problem here! Give these a try I promise they won't disappoint!
Summer is for Smores! -Brittany

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups of flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
16 regular size peanut butter cups
1 1/2 cups marshmallow fluff

Directions
1-Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8x10 baking dish with cooking spray.
2-In a large bowl mix together butter and sugars until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla until combined. Slowly stir in the flour, baking powder, salt and graham cracker crumbs until mixed.

3-Spread 2/3 of the dough on the bottom of the greased baking dish. Lightly press the peanut butter cups into the dough, then spread marshmallow fluff on top. On a piece of parchment paper press the remaining dough into an 8x10 square to match the size of your pan. This will be the crust on top. Place the square on top of the marshmallow fluff and press down lightly removing the parchment paper as you go.
 

 

4-Bake for 30 mins or until the edges are light brown. Allow to cool for at least two hours to give the bars a chance to set.
