A New Take On A Campfire Favorite

It is Labor Day Weekend, and in our family that means that on Labor Day we get together with my Mom's Sister & her family and my Gramma at Nichols Lake in Bitely, MI, where my Uncle & Aunt have a cottage. It is a lot of fun to catch up with my cousins, go out on the boat and swim in the lake...providing that the weather cooperates. :) This also means that we eat a meal together...more of a potluck if you will. We each have to bring a dish to pass, and this year I couldn't wait to try a new recipe.

PEANUT BUTTER CUP S'MORES:

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup butter, softened

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup sugar

2 egg

2 teaspoons vanilla

2 1/2 cups flour

2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cup graham cracker crumbs

24 peanut butter cups, regular size

3 cups marshmallow fluff*

*Fluff is pretty impossible to measure, so this doesn’t have to be an exact amount, just kind of eyeball it. To spread the fluff, wet a spreader and spread.

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line an 9x13 baking dishing with parchment paper; coat lightly with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl of the bowl of stand mixer, beat butter and sugars until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla until combined. Scrape down the sides. With the mixer on low, stir in the flour, baking powder, salt, and graham cracker crumbs until mixed.
3. Spread 2/3 of the dough on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Lightly press the peanut butter cups into the dough, then spread marshmallow fluff on top. Press the remaining dough on a non-stick surface into the shape of an 9x13 rectangle. Place the square on top of the fluff and press down lightly.
4. Bake for 40 minutes or until the edges just begin to brown. Allow to cool for at least two hours to give the bars a chance to set, then remove from the pan and cut into squares with a large, sharp knife.

We haven't cut into them yet, but they smell and look A-MAZING!!!! Can't wait to see what everyone thinks of them!
