Super Bowl Sunday - Baked S'mores and Cheddar Biscuits

Ryan and I decided to take Super Bowl Sunday as our "cheat day" from February's healthy-recipe diet, which we both may be regretting today as we try to work off the additional calories! 

However, we made these Baked S'mores yesterday and they are definitely one we will make again.

Baked S'mores

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, room temperature

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup sugar

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla 

1 1/3 cups flour

3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (approximately 7 full graham crackers)

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

2 or 3 super-sized (5 oz.) chocolate bars (e.g. Hershey’s)

1 1/2 cups marshmallow creme/fluff (not melted marshmallows)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350. Grease bottom of  8 by 8 or 11 by 7. 

2. In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream together butter and sugar until light. Beat in egg and vanilla.

3. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt.

Add to butter mixture and mix at a low speed until combined. 

4. Divide dough in half and press half of dough into an even layer on the bottom of the prepared pan. Place chocolate bars over dough. Two 5 oz. Hershey’s bars should fit perfectly [for 8 by 8] side by side, but break the chocolate (if necessary) to get it to fit in a single layer. [use 3 Hershey's for 11 by 7 pan]

5. Spread marshmallow fluff evenly over the chocolate layer.

6. Place remaining dough in a single layer on top of the creme. 

7. Bake for 30 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool completely or almost completely before cutting into bars. 

Duane - below is the cheddar biscuit recipe (as Ryan posted, I believe these have about 150 calories each - probably doesn't fit with the healthy-meal theme either!). They were easy to make and went great with the pasta. We both loved your pasta recipe - thanks for posting it!

Cheddar Biscuits

(makes about 12)

1 pack buttermilk biscuit mix (I used Bisquick, about 1 1/2cups)

1 1/2cups shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup milk

2 tbsp butter

1 tbsp oregano

3/4 tsp garlic salt

1. Preheat oven to 400F. Spray cooking sheet with non-stick spray.

2. Put biscuit mix, cheese and milk in a bowl and mix well to form a sticky dough.

3. Using spoon, drop lumps of dough onto cookie sheets 1.5 inches apart. Bake for 10 min.

4. In a bowl, melt butter and mix with oregano and garlic salt.

5. When the timer goes off, take them out, brush with butter mixture and bake an additional 5 min. at 400 F.

Enjoy!
