Gooey Bars

This is a recipe that I came up with for a cookie mix contest but forgot to enter it. It's super easy and SOOO yummy. But very rich, definitely needs a big glass of milk to go with it.






Cookie Base:
1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker® peanut butter cookie mix
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon water
1 egg


Middle:
Bag of mini marshmallows

Frosting:
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup of cocoa
1/4 cup milk
1 box powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Heat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray.

In large bowl, stir all Cookie Base ingredients until soft dough forms. Press dough in bottom of pan using floured fingers. Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown.

Sprinkle with marshmallows while it's still warm

In a small saucepan bring milk butter and cocoa to a slight boil. Turn down heat and add powdered sugar. Mix with whisk until smooth. Remove from heat and add vanilla.

Pour frosting over cookie and marshmallow layers while still warm. Let cool for at least one hour or until set. Cut into 36 bars.

You've probably had something like it before, they're way good. I only made up the recipe last month and have only made them the one time. I'll email you both the recipe for the saltine thing, it's good too and really easy.
