S'Mores

Come on who as not had a S'More as a kids camping or at a beach party. Now this is a easy way to get the S'More as a square.

Preheat oven 350F
Line the bottom and sides of an 8 x 8 inch square baking pan with aluminum foil. 

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

2 Tbs granulated white sugar

6 Tbs butter or margirine, melted

Topping:

1 cup semisweet or milk chocolate chips or chunks

2 cups miniature marshmallows

Stir together the graham cracker crumbs and the sugar. Add the melted butter and stir until all the crumbs are moistened. Press this mixture firmly onto the bottom of the prepared pan and bake in preheated oven about 10 minutes, or just until the crust begins to turn golden brown. Remove from oven and evenly sprinkle with the chocolate chips and marshmallows. Return to oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the marshmallows are soft, lightly golden, and starting to meld together. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, lift the squares from the pan by holding the edges of the foil. With a long sharp knife, cut into squares. Can be stored at room temperature for several days.
