baking: s'more brownie bars!

heyyy internets! i've been wanting to make a s'more recipe for awhile now. but i couldn't quite decide between a cupcake or cookie. so in the end i decided on a bar that would most resemble and actual s'more. so here's my take on s'more brownie bars.

ingredients:
  • for gram crust
    • 10 sheets of gram crackers. 
    • 4 tablespoons of softened butter (you can use less/more if you'd like)
  • for brownie mix
    • 1/2 cup butter
    • 1 cup of white sugar
    • 1 package (8 oz) of regular cream cheese or reduced fat cream cheese
    • 2 egg whites
    • 1 tsp of vanilla extract
    • 1/3 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
    • 1/2 of all purpose flour
    • 1/4 tsp baking powder
    • 1/4 tsp salt
    • 1/4 cup of dark chocolate chips
  • marshmallow topping
    • 1 bag (10 oz) of small marshmallows
    • 1/4 cup of dark chocolate chips
how to:
  • preheat oven to 350.
  • cover a baking dish with foil, use one thats pretty long. i used a baking pan 
  • in a food processor or in a ziploc bag, crush gram crackers until they're the consistency of bread crumbs. add softened butter to crumbs, mix well. 
  • pour crumbs over foiled baking dish and evenly flatten.
  • baking in oven for 7-10 minutes.
  • in a large bowl mix softened butter and sugar. add vanilla extract. when creamy add egg white one at a time. add cream cheese and mix until mixture is creamy. 
  • in a seperate bowl mix dry ingredients well. add to creamy mixture slowly. mix well. 
  • with a spatula fold in chocolate chips.
  • pour evenly over gram cracker crust. bake for 20-25 minutes depending on how thick the layer of brownie it; it should be just before they're done.
  • pour mini marshmallows evenly over the top of the almost done brownie. sprinkle chocolate chips. 
  • turn oven up to 450 and finish baking for 3-5 minutes. the higher heat will melt the sugar in the marshmallows and great a golden brown crust over the marshmallows. 
  • let cool complete and then cut into bars. 
  • and viola, enjoy!
