Last Wednesday, we had a good crowd of 400 for our hamburger cookout. Here’s a look at the dining room scene. We hope to see you again next week. Bring your friends!
The S’mores Bars were a pretty big hit. They are really gooey and rich (and a pain to cut), but worth the trouble I think. Here’s the recipe for 1 pan. We made 12!
S’mores Bars Servings: 576
12 pans/ 48 bars per pan: Make in 12x18x2 inch pans. Cut 6×8
To make 1 pan at a time:
Crust layer:
4 cup graham cracker crumbs
6 TBSP sugar
1/2 tsp salt
12 TBSP butter, melted
Combine ingredients and press into bottom of pan and along sides. Refrigerate until chilled and set.
Brownie layer:
12 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped (or bittersweet chocolate chips, may use semi-sweet)
1 1/2 cup butter (12 oz)
6 eggs
2 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups flour

1 TBSP vanilla
Melt chocolate and butter in microwave about 1 minute, until melted. With hand mixer, beat sugar and eggs, then add melted chocolate and beat until smooth. Stir flour, salt and then vanilla into mixture. Spread brownie layer over graham cracker crust. Bake at 350* convection for 30 minutes, or until center is set when pressed with fingertip.
