The BEST S'more Bar Recipe!

I was looking for a s'more recipe one day to bring to a meeting I had with a bunch of girls in my church.  It was a camp meeting, so I was trying to keep with the theme.  I needed something easy and yummy.  Well, thank goodness I found this recipe!  It was suprisingly more delicious then I thought!  It is the grand prize winning recipe for Betty Crocker from 2006.  Whom ever came up with this was a genius!


1 pouch of Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie mix
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 cup melted butter
3 cups chocolate chips (recipe calls for milk chocolate, I like regular)
4 1/2 cups mini marshmallows

1.)  Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Mix the cookie mix with the graham crackers and melted butter.  (It will make a thick, soft dough.)  Press into an ungreased 9x13 pan.

2.)  Bake the crust for 18-20 mins. until set.  Immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot crust.  When the chocolate is melted, spread over the entire crust.

3.)  Set the oven to broil.  Add the marshmallows to the top of the chocolate and spread evenly.  Place 6 inches away from the broiler.  Watch carefully and constantly for the marshmallows to toast to a light golden brown.  They go from perfect to burnt quickly, so keep a constant eye on them.  Takes about 20-30 seconds.

That's it!  Don't eat them all yourself!  I know I've wanted to many times.

Chicken Divan Casserole

There are a lot of Chicken Divan recipes floating around out there.  I've taken pieces from a few recipes and combined them into a delicious version!  I've also increased ingredients so that it makes a 9 x 13 pan size casserole.  We serve this dish over steamed, white rice.



4 large chicken breasts, cooked and shredded or cubed  (about 2 lbs)
4 cups frozen broccoli, or about 2 large heads of broccoli chopped
2 (10.75 oz) cans of Cream of Chicken soup
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp curry powder
4 Tbsp melted butter - divided
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup bread crumbs

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease a 9 x 13 pan.
  2. Arrange cooked chicken on the bottom of the pan, followed by the broccoli.
  3. Mix soup, mayo, sour cream, lemon juice, curry, 2 Tbsp. melted butter, and cheddar cheese in a separate blow, and pour over the chicken and broccoli.  Mix to incorporate the sauce into the chicken and broccoli.
  4. Mix together the Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs and 2 Tbsp melted butter in another bowl.  Top casserole with crumbs.  
  5. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until bubbly and cheese has started to brown.  Serve over steamed, white rice.
