Day 2 of the 10 days of Christmas Cookies takes me to Charlotte, North Carolina where my great Aunt Esther lives. My great aunt used to make this awesome cookie type dessert called a fancy graham. I really loved the rich caramel flavor they had, even though I used to pick the nuts off the top. I was craving that sweet graham cracker cookie but didnโt want to put the nuts on top since I wouldnโt eat them. After thinking of toppings I immediately came to sโmores.
I figured that instead of putting chopped nuts on top I could just substitute in mini marshmallows and chocolate chips. I had to call my mom to get my auntโs original recipe. Once I had it, it was a snap to make these treats.
They came out just like I remembered. I was a little worried when the graham crackers were soft coming out of the oven but they crisped up as they cooled. I had a little trouble getting all the chocolate chips and marshmallows on top before the caramel cooled but popping them back in the oven for 15 seconds did the trick.
The sโmores bars were crisp, buttery, and full of flavor. For a cookie that requires almost no baking they are really delicious. It put me in the mind set of a fancier sโmore that could be served in the house instead of around a campfire. I canโt wait for my great Aunt Esther to try this twist on her cookie at Christmas!
Easy Sโmore Bars (adapted from my great-Aunt Estherโs Fancy Graham recipe.)
24 sheets of graham crackers (plain or honey flavored)
ยพ c. butter
1 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1 c. chocolate chips
1 c. marshmallows
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or non stick foil. (This step is important otherwise you will never get the grahams off the cookie sheet!)
2. Place 12 sheets of graham crackers on each cookie sheet. Make sure they are touching each other but not the edge of the pan.
6. Let cool completely and break the graham crackers sheets into four pieces.
Makes 96 Sโmore bars.
What a great idea, especially when there is no campfire available!
