Raspberry Smores Bars Recipes

RASPBERRY S'MORES BARS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Line 8-inch square (2-quart) baking dish with foil.
• In medium bowl, beat sugar cookie mix, softened butter and egg with electric mixer on medium speed until well combined. Press dough in pan. Bake about 23 minutes or until just beginning to brown. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
• In medium bowl, beat pudding mix and milk with whisk until thickened. Fold in all but a small handful of the raspberries. Spread over cookie base; top with remaining raspberries. Refrigerate about 5 minutes or until set.
• Set oven control to broil. Sprinkle marshmallows over pudding. Broil with tops of marshmallows 4 to 6 inches from heat for a few seconds or just until tops of marshmallows are golden, watching closely so as not to burn marshmallows. Serve immediately.

GRANDMA'S RASPBERRY BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• In a medium bowl combine butter, white sugar, brown sugar, flour, baking powder and salt; mix well. Spread 2/3 of mixture into prepared pan.
• Spread jam over mixture.
• Combine remaining mixture with oats and walnuts; sprinkle over jam layer.
• Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.

LEMON RASPBERRY S'MORES

Steps:

• Heat a grill to medium-low heat. (The heat coming from a dying charcoal grill or a gas grill cooling down will also work well.)
• Halve each graham cracker sheet crosswise into 2 squares. Dollop about 1 teaspoon of the jam on one half and top with 4 raspberries. Dollop about 1 teaspoon of the lemon curd on the other half. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Take the graham cracker squares and chocolate to your grill (as the marshmallows toast they will become soft and start to droop off the skewer). Working with a few at a time, skewer a marshmallow on a long fork or metal skewer and hold over the heat about 2 inches above the grates. Toast, turning occasionally, until the marshmallow puffs and turns golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Place the marshmallow on top of the graham square with the fresh raspberries and gently press the graham half with the lemon curd on top of the marshmallow. Pull the skewer out the marshmallow while pressing down so it is sandwiched between the lemon and raspberry halves, and squeeze the curd and jam toward the edge of the graham. Enjoy immediately while warm and gooey.
• Cook's Note: If you love apple pie, try making these s'mores using cinnamon graham crackers and substituting apple butter for the lemon curd.
