Prep : 10 Total : 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

Crust and Topping

  • 0.5 cup butter, softened
  • 0.25 cup packed brown sugar
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1.25 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 6 graham crackers, crushed into crumbs
  • 0.75 cup peanut butter use creamy for best results
  • 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet or milk chocolate
  • 1 7-ounce container Marshmallow Fluff

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9-inch square baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on all sides for easy removal. Grease the foil well.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown and granulated sugars until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Stir in the crushed graham cracker crumbs.
  • Press two-thirds of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
  • Spread the peanut butter evenly over the dough layer. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the peanut butter, then carefully spread the Marshmallow Fluff over the chocolate chips.
  • Gently press the remaining one-third of the dough evenly over the Marshmallow Fluff layer.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges of the crust are golden brown. The center may appear slightly soft.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack for at least 1 hour. This allows the bars to set.
  • Once cooled, use the foil overhang to lift the entire block out of the pan. For easier cutting, chill the bars in the refrigerator for another hour. Use a sharp knife to cut into 16 bars, cleaning the knife between cuts if necessary.

Notes

These bars are best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Chilling them makes them easier to cut and serve.
