Cotton Candy Bars. So a few days ago, I became really embarrassed while on my way to Dorothy‘s house. Dorothy was giving me some treats in exchange for these very bars, so I decided to walk my dog and my boyfriend over to her abode to pick up some sweets. While on our mid-afternoon walk, nature called Mannie and like most dogs, he answered with no regard to people, places, things or feelings. ..which brings me to a small sidenote. You know those people with the squatting dog signs on their lawn “prohibiting” dogs using the bathroom on their yard? No? Well, in our neighborhood, people have taken a liking to stickers, picket signs or fence signs saying my dog is not allowed to poop on their grass.

Back to my story. Why vacant? The house where he–yeah–had their windows open, so no dice. Weekend Munchies. S'more Cookie Bars. These were a huge hit! Keith, Andrew, and Kramer all ate at least two of these the other night. I brought some into work, too, and they quickly disappeared. They seriously tasted just like a s’more, and they should, considering that all of the same ingredients are used, just kicked up a notch!

What you’ll need. Pulse about 8 graham crackers in a blender or food processor to get your graham cracker crumbs. Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and graham cracker crumbs. Cream together the butter and sugars, until light and fluffy (at least 3-5 minutes), then beat in the egg and vanilla. Gradually mix the flour mixture into the butter mixture. Press half of the dough down into the greased and/or lined 8×8 pan (I doubled it and did a 9×13). Lay the chocolate bars over the dough. Enjoy! S’more Cookie Bars.

I have made a few suggestions to replace some of the more refined sweeteners with their more wholesome sisters–I substitute agave syrup for corn syrup and Sucanat for white sugar. If you don’t have agave or Sucanat, you can play around with other liquid sweeteners and dry sweeteners–the recipe is pretty flexible.

INGREDIENTS 1 cup agave syrup 2 cups smooth peanut butter 1 cup Sucanat 1 cup pure cocoa powder 1/4 cup espresso, or very strong coffee 1/2 cup rum 10 cups organic crisped rice cereal 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips (see note) 2 tablespoons oil 1. 2. 3. 4.
