PB S'mores Bars

What a great day with my husband yesterday.  We went to Denver, walked around a few different shopping areas.  Two of them were outside, and it was really hot.  We walked by Sur Le Table, but it was closed!  A Wednesday afternoon at 3:00, and they had their doors locked.  Not a happy girl!  We had dinner at a wonderful steak place, and then went to see a show.  My husband is not a fan of musicals, or plays, but I enjoy them.  Jersey Boys was in town, so that is what we saw.  It was wonderful.  The 4 Seasons were way before my time, but I know a lot of their songs from my dad playing them when I was growing up.  The story was very interesting, and they did a fantastic job with the music.  If you get a chance, I highly recommend it.  Even my husband walked away relatively pleased with the performance (and that says a lot)!

PB S'mores Bars

I made these bars a few weeks ago.  My husband was going to help a friend move, so I sent along some fuel.  I figured a bunch of guys lifting heavy boxes and couches needed something to keep them going.  Boy was I right!  My husband brought the container home empty, so I am pretty sure everyone appreciated them.

Everyone knows that peanut butter and chocolate is a winning combination.  And anything with S’mores is good too.  So, why not put peanut butter in with the S’mores?  Seems like the next natural progression.  Lucky for you they don’t involve a campfire or an even an oven.   Perfect treat to make on one of those hot days when you don’t want to heat up the house.  Which pretty much means any day of the week around here!

PB S'mores Bars

These are very similar to the Peanut Butter Bars I made awhile ago.  Kind of like a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup combined with a S’more.  Trust me, they are addicting.  They are best kept in the fridge.  If I have enough willpower I like to let it sit for about 5 minutes at room temperature before I eat it.  But, that doesn’t always happen 🙂

  5. I loved the Jersey Boys. I saw them about 4 years ago in San Francisco. Sorry Sur La Table is closed, that stinks, but it probably saved you a few bucks! Glad you enjoyed your well deserved evening.

    Now lets talk about these Bars, oh my gosh! Drool worthy! They look amazing! I am going to bookmark these and make them for my Husband!

  14. So did you find out why Sur La Table was closed on a Wednesday afternoon? Hehe. Never been to Denver but I heard it’s nice there. Isn’t baking a little bit different in Denver because of the altitude? Anyway, I want to have S’mores, please! Finger-lickin’ good!

    • Never figured out why. I just had to go to Crate & Barrel next door instead. Yes baking is different up here. We are up about 5000 feet, so stuff rises differently, and boils differently. It takes some getting used to that is for sure!
