S’mores Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

It’s the last day of S’mores Week 2016.

Amanda and I have had a blast making all these S’mores treats. 10 in total!!

That’s a lot of chocolate, graham cracker and marshmallows.

I lost track of how many times I’ve gone to the grocery store for ‘just one more bag of mini marshmallows”.

While my family has been enjoying some treats (I actually share most with neighbors and our coworkers), they are thankful that S’mores week is wrapping up so I can fully clear off the kitchen counter of all the s’mores goodies. I get it, nothing worse than being surrounded by sweets and they are all off limits to you. ha!

 

But I think giving me the time to whip them into goodies like these Chocolate Chip Cookie Smores Bars and S’mores Cheese Balls and S’mores Crack is worth the wait!!

Also worth the wait… our S’more Ebook!!

We are putting the finishing touches on our ebook that is a collection of the S’mores recipes we have shared on our blogs over the years, plus brand spankin’ new ones that we not posted here before! So many S’mores!!!!!!

 

In the mean time, make these Chocolate Chip Cookie S’mores Bars and enjoy the weekend while we wrap things up.

The bars consist of layers of a graham cracker base, chocolate chip cookie layer, and a roasty, toasty marshmallow and chocolate layer.

How can you beat the combination of S’mores and Chocolate Chip Cookies?!?!

You can’t!!!

That is why you just have to make these delicious treats!
