Instead of using 5 candy bars, I used a Giant Hershey's bar (7 oz) because it is more cost efficient. The bars were good, but I would have enjoyed a crust that incorporated more graham cracker and less flour.

I even double this recipe, putting it in a 13x9. These are unstoppable!!! A perfect treat that will please any group!

It's a good thing that I made two batches, because every last crumb was gone with recipe requests from everyone. S'mores without the mess or the danger of fire with kids.

These weren't horrible, but I probably wouldn't make them again. Seemed to be a bit dry & crumbly, taste was ok, smell was good, and they were easy.

A favorite recipe of ours. Everyone asks for it. I sprinkle some mini marshmallows on top before baking.

I've previously rated this recipe but I wanted to comment about a variation I tried today. I made these into cookies using a small cookie scoop, a large marshmallow cut in half, and 2 squares of a Hershey's bar per cookie. I baked the cookie for 8-10 minutes at 375 degrees, added the marshmallow to the top of the cookie for 2 minutes then broiled it to brown it a little. I removed them from the oven then gently pressed the chocolate bars on top. I let them cool a little bit but not too long! I liked them as a cookie as much as a bar! My batch made about 2 1/2 dozen cookies.

These were awesome! My boyfriend ate all of them in three days. The last day they got a little hard...but otherwise fantastic!

We loved these, they tasted rich from the combo of chocolate and marshmallow.

The graham cracker crust didn't seem to have enough graham cracker flavor, I'll consider adding more graham and less flour also a little honey and vanilla to kick it up.

For the chocolate, I'll either buy a more expensive brand or consider melting, cooling and pouring before baking... The traditional chocolate bar from Pennsylvania has a flavor that seems too distinctive and a little overbearing for the recipe.

SUPER quick & easy to make, not a lot of clean up after preparing. A definite crowd pleaser!
