Brookie S’mores Bars

What exactly are Brookie S’mores Bars? Brookie S’mores Bars are a combination of soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies and rich and fudgy brownies sandwiched in between crushed digestive biscuits (Graham Crackers) and a layer of toasted marshmallows.

As I have mentioned time and time again. I LOVE S’mores. Anything s’mores related and I’m there! How could you not? Crisp digestive biscuits with melting chocolate and sweet, roasted marshmallows… Turn these into Brookie S’mores Bars and you have a WINNER!

Out of all the s’mores recipes I have made (remember the S’mores Fudge Pie and the White Chocolate S’mores Bars?) the Brookie S’mores Bars may just be my favourite. I am partial to the chocolate chip cookie and brownie flavour combination. Again, I’m a sucker for brownies.

To make these Brookie S’mores Bars you need to make a simple crushed digestive biscuit (Graham Cracker) and melted butter base. Make a simple chocolate chip cookie dough (I adapted my cookie pie recipe) and a one bowl fudgy brownie. This is recipe is all about layers so we begin with the crushed biscuit layer then the cookie layer, followed by the brownie layer.

I made this in an 8″x8′ pan so the bars were nice and high not flat. You could use a 9″x9″ pan if you prefer but just bare in mind your Brookie S’mores will be a little flatter and may not need as long of a cooking time.

As these bars take a while to bake, we don’t add the marshmallow layer until halfway through the baking process. This is to ensure toasted, melty marshmallows not hard and burnt marshmallows.

It’s officially December. Officially Summer, 8 days until my birthday, The Countdown is on for Christmas and 30 days until 2018!! Seriously this year has just flown by and I am in no way prepared for my Birthday, Christmas or the New Year! Ekk. Please tell me I’m not the only one having a slight end-of-year crisis?
