S'mores Bars with Whole Grain Flours

S'mores Bars made with Whole Grain Flours - A Gooey, Delicious Treat

 Looking for something to warm you up this Winter, but don't want to sit outside for a camp fire?  Meet one of my new favorite treats - S'mores Bars made with whole grain flours.  What a treat, although MaMa makes me eat these at the kitchen table, since they are a little messy and I'm a little messy.

Ingredients for S'mores Bars made with Whole Grain Flours:

1 c (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temp
1 1/2 c brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
1 c Joseph's Grainery Soft White Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
1 c Joseph's Grainery Barley Flour
2 c graham cracker crumbs
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 c marshmellows, mini size or quartered regular size
2 c chocolate chips

Directions:  Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.  Line a 9x13 pan with foil.  Spray the foil with cooking spray.

In the bowl of your mixer, on medium speed, cream together the butter and sugar.  Add the eggs one at a time.  Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the flours, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt.  Divide the dough in half and press half of the dough into the bottom of the pan.  Spread the marshmellows and  and chocolate chips out over the base.   Scatter the remaining dough over in clumps.  You don't need to cover the entire top, the marshmellow and chocolate chips will peek through.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden brown.  Remove from pan, peel off foil and cut into bars.

Love me some S'mores Bars!
