Peanut Butter S’Mores Bars

My daughter is a Daisy Scout. She has been collected Girl Scout badges all year to add to her Daisy uniform and these patches are VERY important to a 7 year old! While I was on vacation last week, there was a big Girl Scout get together for them all to earn their baking patch. Unfortunately, my daughter was going to miss it which means missing out on a patch her friends would all have. Not good.

Since the troop leaders always want to give all the girls an opportunity to earn all their patches, they gave me the choice to bake with her myself to earn the patch. Bake with my daughter? Done. We bake together all the time anyway and if I made it into a post I figured that was proof.

We wanted to make something easy but yummy and my daughter suggested something with marshmallow. Hmmm…how about s’mores? Easy and yummy! I wanted to take it a step farther and make Peanut Butter S’Mores Bars. Chocolate, marshmallow, peanut butter and a graham cracker crust. It’s a perfect summer dessert.
