S'mores Bars

Another hit from Paula Deen! These were fantastic, even though I accidentally used 1/2 a stick of butter instead of 1/2 cup. They ended up a bit crunchier than they should have been, but I could tell they would've been perfect otherwise.

1/2 c. butter, softened
3/4 c. sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/3 c. all-purpose flour
3/4 c. graham cracker crumbs
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
4 (1 1/2 oz.) Hershey's milk chocolate bars
1 c. marshmallow creme

Preheat oven to 350. Spray and 8-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar at medium speed with and electric mixer until creamy. Add egg and vanilla; beat until combined.

In a small bowl, combine flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, and salt. Add to butter mixture, and beat until combined. Press half of dough in prepared pan, spreading evenly. Place chocolate bars on top of dough, breaking apart as needed to create and even layer of chocolate. Spread marshmallow creme over chocolate bars.

Spread remaining dough over marshmallow creme. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Cut into squares and serve.
