SHOWING ALL POSTS IN s’mores bars

When I moved last month, I decided to buy a memory foam mattress pad. Memory foam mattresses are all the rage, right? There seems to be a mattress store on every corner now!!

I’m not made of money though, so just went with the foam pad.

Worst.decision.ever.

First of all, the dang thing was HEAVY. It was a bear to get it on top of my mattress. But okay, it was worth it, right? Blissful sleep, here I come!

Um, no. It was awful! I fell asleep fine, but would wake up 2 hours later SO HOT!

“Because the purpose of memory foam is to support you by conforming to your body, it uses heat from your body to provide that “molding” capability.”

I kept thinking that maybe I would adjust to it. But last week at 3 am, awake AGAIN….I had enough! I stripped off memory foam and dragged it to the hallway.

By then, I was mad and frustrated. The cure….chocolate + marshmallows + graham crackers.

S’Mores Bars

Recipe from Per L’Amore Di Cibo

Ingredients:

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup canola oil
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 egg
2 cups mini marshmallows
8 ounces chocolate

I used a combination of Ghirardelli Dark and Milk & Truffle chocolates.

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8 x 8 inch pan with parchment paper. Set aside.

In a bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, salt, and baking powder. Then, add in the canola oil, melted butter, and egg. Mix until you have a firm dough.

Press your dough into the bottom of your lined 8 x 8 inch pan.

Cook the bars from 20 minutes.
