  • 1 cup (120 g) graham cracker crumbs (about 8 full-sheet graham crackers)

Directions:

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C).
    2. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang on the sides to easily remove the bars when they have cooled. Set aside.
    3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar together on medium-high speed, about 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat until combined.
    4. Mix the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. Pour the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and then beat on medium speed until combined.
    5. Press/spread 2/3 of the graham cookie dough into prepared pan. It will be a thin layer and the dough is sticky, so use your hands if needed. Spread the marshmallow creme evenly on top. This will be tricky since the marshmallow creme is sticky, but do the best you can to get an even layer. Layer chocolate chips evenly on top. Mold the remaining cookie dough into flat pieces and layer on top of the chocolate chips.
    6. Bake the bars for 25–30 minutes. Remove from the oven and place the pan on a wire rack. Cool bars completely.
    7. Lift the bars out using the parchment paper overhang on the sides. Cut into squares.
