Pumpkin S’mores Bars
Soft and chewy pumpkin s'mores bars are so flavorful and loaded with gooey marshmallows, dark chocolate and crunchy graham crackers. They are so much fun to make and even more fun to eat!
Ingredients
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- ½ cup (110g) packed light brown sugar
- ⅓ cup (65g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 ½ teaspoon (7ml) honey
- ⅓ cup plus 1 tbsp (90ml) pure pumpkin puree, blotted to dry (*see note above about blotting in the FAQ section)
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (optional) (or make your own homemade pumpkin pie spice)
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ⅓ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (85g) dark chocolate chips
- 15 large marshmallows cut in half with scissors
- ¾ cup (4oz/113g) dark chocolate chips or chunks
- ½ cup (35g) from 5 squares roughly crushed graham crackers, plus 2 extra for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, allowing the parchment to hang about an inch over the edges.
- Combine melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and vanilla in a large bowl and whisk to blend. Add the egg yolk, honey and blotted pumpkin puree and whisk until smooth.
- Add the pumpkin spice (optional), baking powder, baking soda and salt and whisk to combine. Add the flour and mix it in gently. Add the chocolate chips and broken up graham crackers and fold them in evenly.
- Press about three-quarters of the cookie dough into even layer on the base of the prepared pan. Place the marshmallows cut-side-down over the cookie dough so they stick. They should almost cover the surface. Scatter chocolate chunks over top then crumble the extra graham crackers on top. Break up clumps of the remaining pumpkin cookie dough and smush them on top. Leave some open spaces for the marshmallows to peak through when baking.
- Bake for 24-28 minutes until golden brown. Remove the pan from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
