Who likes Smores?
I'm a BIG smores fan! And in all honesty, I consider myself a bit of a beautician ... which is actually my birthright. Did I tell you that I was born on National Smores Day? Yes. It is in my DNA.
And because I try and fix my smores in any way, I make these Smores Fudge Bars which are all the flavors that we like in smores, but OH SO MUCH MORE! You have silk-rich fudge stuffing, on top of a thick graham cracker crust, all topped with Homemade Marshmallow Fluff, which is very dreamy!
What is Smores?
Let's start from the beginning if you are not familiar with smores. Can you believe I have met people who have never made love? I don't know why this is very confusing to me, but it is. I guess if you don't grow up in the US, or Canada it isn't always universal.
A smile is a bonfire snack that generally consists of roasted marshmallows and a piece of chocolate sandwiched between two graham crackers. Of course, I took a lot of freedom when making a campfire. My favorite combos are two Ritz crackers, a cup of peanut butter and roasted marshmallows. It's salty/sweet perfection! BUT according to tradition, these Smores Fudge Bars are all classic flavors.
