It’s clearly been a s’mores kind of weekend.
Just LOOK at those gooey, melty marshmallows! I can’t deal.
This recipe come’s from Jamielyn’s new I Heart Naptime Cookbook which I AM LOVING.
Oh my gosh. You guys. Not only are the recipes completely delicious and simple, they are relatable and easy and quick. I seriously want to eat every single thing in the book. I don’t know what to do with myself.
Plus, there are so many other adorable craft ideas in the book – like crafts that I CAN ACTUALLY DO!
Basically this book speaks to me since the last 20 months of my life have consisted of “just how many things can I get done during this naptime which is supposed to be 90 minutes but will probably be 32 minutes long.” Halp.
Now, these bars. THESE BARS. I had to tell you about them before Labor Day weekend was over because they are SO holiday worthy.
They remind me of the brownies my mom makse where you fold marshmallows into the batter. It doesn’t so much give it a “marshmallowy” taste, but almost a caramel, melted sugar, deliciously caramelized everything taste. And that is exactly what the marshmallows do here too.
Pretty sure these are the best of both worlds for me. There are crunchy, cookie edges and then gooey, chewy centers. The texture freak inside of me is los.ing.it.
I was afraid they’d be too rich but they aren’t. They are just completely perfect. I love them more than s’mores brownies and… well, you know that’s serious business.
