S'Mores Bars

I used Trader Joe's Belgian chocolate instead of Hershey's.

Gabe ate his with ice cream.

I made these S'Mores Bars for the first time over the weekend (thank you Sarah for introducing me to the recipe). I have to say, of all the desserts I've ever made, this just might be my favorite. I've never had anything like them. It starts with a layer of graham cracker dough, then melted chocolate, then marshmallow fluff, topped with more graham cracker dough. In a word, they were glorious. I strongly recommend making these next time you have a craving for something sweet.
