Smores Bars
 Smores Bars are a great way to enjoy smores when you aren't at a campsite. The recipe is still basically the same; Graham Crackers, Chocolate and Marshmallows. This smores bar recipe makes it easier to make them at home and you won't end up burning the house down in the process.
We start by making a graham cracker crust and baking it for 10 minutes. Then we add the chocolate and miniature marshmallows, then they get baked some more to melt everything together. The result is that familiar gooey blend of ingredients that brings back memories of our childhood. Who can forget frantically trying to blow out the flames on our marshmallow before it turned into charcoal.
There is one difference however, you won't be able to eat them right away without making a major mess. They need to cool down before cutting them into squares. Once you have cut them into squares, you can heat them up in the microwave for a few seconds just before devouring them.
