FOURTH OF JULY S'MORES BARS 1 package of Oreos, crushed into fine crumbs 1 cube (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted 1 can sweetened condensed milk 7 graham cracker squares (just enough to create a layer in your pan)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Take a 9×13 and line it with tin foil! Crush the Oreo Cookies into fine crumbs. Combine the crushed oreos with the cube of melted butter. Press the oreo mixture into the bottom of the 9×13 pan. Pour the sweet condensed milk over the oreo crust. Break up the graham crackers and chocolate bar and sprinkle them over the sweet condensed milk. I personally prefer Milk Chocolate, but it’s totally up to your preference. Sprinkle the mini marshmallows all over. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Remove from the oven and right away sprinkle the M&Ms all over the bars. Put back in the oven and cook for 5-7 more minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes. While the bars are cooling, break up the last 4 oz chocolate bar with 3 tablespoons milk on the stove top and mix until you can drizzle the chocolate over the bars. If needed, add more milk. After the bars are cooled, drizzle the milk chocolate over the top of the bars. Allow to finish cooling and the chocolate to set before serving.
