- In a large bowl, combine the cookie mix, contents of the buttery flavor packet, egg, and water. Stir until thoroughly blended.
- Divide the cookie dough in half.
- Press half the dough evenly into the prepared pan.
- Cut each chocolate bar into 12 sections and arrange into 4 rows with 9 sections in each row on top of the cookie dough.
- Drop spoonfuls of Marshmallow Creme over the chocolate pieces and spread to cover.
- Drop the remaining cookie dough by teaspoonfuls on top of the Marshmallow Creme and spread slightly with the back of a spoon.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25 to 30 minutes.
- Cool completely before cutting into squares.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt to the cookie dough. If you don't have Marshmallow Creme, you can substitute with mini marshmallows or make your own by whipping egg whites and sugar. For a twist, try using flavored chocolate bars like caramel or peanut butter. Ensure the cookie dough is pressed evenly for consistent baking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these Baked S'Mores with a scoop of Quick Vanilla Ice Cream on the side for a delightful contrast in textures. They also pair well with fresh fruit like strawberries or bananas for a refreshing touch. For a themed dessert night, consider serving them alongside American recipes like Chocolate Whipped Cream Pie.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover baked S'Mores in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you prefer to enjoy them warm, reheat individual squares in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds, just until they are slightly warm and gooey.
