Soft, chewy, and slightly crunchy graham cracker cookie bars with a marshmallow swirl and semi-sweet chocolate chips.
The inspiration for this recipe actually came from the S’mores bars that my family is obsessed with at a nearby lunch place we frequent. They have the best chicken salad and sweet potato fries and DESSERTS.
In all honestly, I’ve only ever tried a few of the many dessert bars they have– I tend to find something I like and obsessively eat only that one thing until I’ve completely exhausted my taste for it. And for the past year or so, it’s been these Peanut Butter Swirl Cookies that they make in-house.
In fact, when I asked my husband to go grab a dessert after our meal (translation: go get me a peanut butter cookie!), I was actually irritated when he returned with a gigantic S’mores bar the size of my face. I know– who am I?? Anyway, I refused to even try a piece until he had Emma had demolished almost the entire thing. I grabbed the last little piece fully expecting to be underwhelmed.
