Gooey S’mores Bars on Serious Eats!

One of my absolute favorite foodie sites, Serious Eats (especially great for New Yorkers!) featured my Gooey S’mores Bars in their Share Your Sweets slideshow! What a lovely Thursday surprise and a mood boost to make up for all those rejections from Foodgawker  (Which I will continue to stalk daily regardless…talk about great food porn!)

absolutely delicious, especially the batter. takes all of ten minutes (before chilling) and no oven needed– perfect for a summer day.

the bars were a little crumbly but after a few days in the fridge, stuck together better.
