Happy S'morth of July!

It's the 4th of July tomorrow, 'Merica.  Do you have plans?  My family is going to my parents' house for an afternoon of BBQ and backyard games.  I'm bringing these s'mores bars to the party. TO DIE FOR.

 I found the recipe on Pinterest when I was pregnant and wanted s'mores ALL OF THE TIME.  You lose your center of gravity when hauling around a human child so it makes roasting mallows rather cumbersome and a little bit dangerous.

These bars are such a fun, sweet treat year-round! They are all the ooey, gooey goodness of traditional s'mores but a lot less messier and a lot more portable. Plus, you don't have to scramble for sticks in the dark or deal with stale graham crackers or hard mallows or even worry about forgetting your Hershey bars in your car trunk and then have to spend hours the next day cleaning it out of your upholstery (I've been there.)

 I've followed the recipe from Creations by Kara dozens of times and it has never let me or those I'm sharing the bars with down.  So, in case you're still scrambling for something to bring to your festivities this weekend, I advise you to exercise your freedom to indulge and make these bars!!!!

Bonus tip:

*The recipe makes enough graham mixture to save a little for the freezer. I like to leave lots of "cracks" for the marshmellow fluff to expand and toast through.  If you freeze about 1/4 cup, the frozen bites of graham dough are AWESOME in a homemade s'mores sundae.  Add a few frozen bits, some chocolate chips, and a drizzle of fudge. YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

Have a safe and happy Fourth of July, everyone!
