White (or Semi Sweet) Chocolate S'mores Gooey Cake Bars

Wow, what a title!!  I found this on the Picky Palate.  It originally calls for white chocolate chips, but I didn't have any.  So figuring on these were S'mores, I substituted semi-sweet chocolate chips.  Next time I make these I might just use hershey bars!
They were really good, but a little goes a long way!  You make these in a 8x8 pan, and get 12-16 servings.  They are yummy, but you don't need much!
Super good treat, especially if you are a S'more lover!!
White (or Semi-sweet) Chocolate S'mores Gooey Cake Bars

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 egg
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, softened
  • 4 1/2 full graham crackers
  • 10 ounce bag of chocolate chips~white or semi-sweet or use chocolate bars
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line an 8 x 8 inch baking pan with foil.  Make sure to overlap the edges.  Double wrap the foil so you have overlapping edges on each side.  Generously spray the foil with cooking spray!

Place cake mix, egg, and butter in a mixing bowl.  Combine until a nice dough forms.  It will be a little sticky, similar to a cookie dough.

Press half of the dough in your pan and press evenly.  Place your graham crackers on top.  Now layer your chocolate chips and then put your mini marshmallows on top.

Now top with your remaining dough, trying to cover your whole pan.  I took pieces of dough and flattened it in my hand and then placed on top.  It was easier this way and seemed to be able to cover the marshmallows better.  Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk over the top.

Bake for 28-33 minutes, or until cooked through and golden brown on top.

Remove from oven and let sit for about 5 minutes.  After 5 minutes, take a plastic knife and run it along the edges to loosen it off the foil.  This little trick will make it so much easier to remove when it is cooled.

Let cool completely in the pan.  When cool, use the foil edges and pull the bars out of the pan.  Cut off all the edges.  This will make your bars able to be made into little squares.  Save your edges to snack on!!  Cut your bars into squares and serve!  Enjoy at room temp or even great chilled!!
