Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
5 tablespoons unsalted butter -- melted
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 cup finely chopped walnuts
2 cups miniature marshmallows
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1. Preheat the oven to 325° degrees. Line an 8- inch square baking pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil, making sure that the foil is tucked into all the corners and that there is at least I inch overhanging the top of the pan on all sides.
2. Combine the melted butter and graham cracker crumbs in a medium mixing bowl and stir until all the crumbs are moistened. Sprinkle the mixture across the bottom of the prepared baking pan and press it with your fingertips into an even layer.
3. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts evenly over the crumbs. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the marshmallows and chocolate chips evenly over the nuts. Return the pan to the oven and bake until the marshmallows are golden, another 13 to 15 minutes. Let the pan cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate it for 10 minutes.
4. Grasping the overhanging foil on either side of the pan, lift out the bars and place them on a cutting board. Cut them into 16 squares.
S'mores Bars will keep, wrapped in plastic and at room temperature, for 4 or 5 days.
Description:
"A lot of kids prefer these to Four-Layer Bars, maybe because they
completely lack nutrtional value whereas Four-Layer Bars at least have
dried fruit."

NOTES : Jeannette's note: I can't get these to stay together- I think it's the nuts keeping the marshmellows from sticking to the graham cracker crumbs. Next time I make them I'm going to put the nuts on top of the marshmallows with the chips. I use either pecans or almonds instead of walnuts. I find walnuts too bitter when baked.
This is a variation on Four-Layer Bars, with marshmallows rather than sweetened condensed milk holding the ingredients together.
