Graham crackers, chocolate, marshmallows and nuts create a combination Rocky Road cookie and S’mores treat that will WOW everyone. S'mores don't have to be limited to a campfire, they can be made year round right in the oven. This Rocky Road cookie was shared with me by my sister Linda Stradley from her website What’s Cooking America.

See below for recipe and instructions to make traditional campfire S'mores.

Rocky Road S'mores

Ingredients:

Small amount of vegetable shortening for preparing pan

Dough:

½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature

½ cup firmly packed light brown sugar

1 cup all-purpose flour

½ cup graham cracker crumbs

2 cups miniature marshmallows

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

½ cup walnuts, coarsely chopped

Tip: Use standard measuring cups and spoons or scales for accurate measuring.

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare one 9x9x2 inch square pan; lightly grease the pan with shortening.
   
   Dough:
2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine butter and brown sugar; use an electric mixer or wooden spoon and beat together until well blended. Add flour and graham cracker crumbs; stir until well blended.
   
   
3. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the baking pan. Sprinkle with marshmallows, chocolate chips, and walnuts.
   
   Bake:
4. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until the marshmallows are a golden brown. Remove from oven and cool on a wire cooling rack. Cut into bars
   
   Tip: My favorite tool to cut bar cookies is a stainless steel dough scraper; simply push the dough scraper straight down into the cookie for straight cuts. Or use a pizza cutter or small kitchen knife to cut the cookie into bars.
   
   Makes about 2 dozen bars.
