In Columbus we have two GF bakeries. Two! What a treat. It's a truly great thing, especially as they both offer different styles of items to buy. If you're looking for more french-style items, as well as the usual cookies & cupcakes etc. then Cherbourg bakery is the place to be. They offer everything from cream puffs to lemon bars to zucchini cake and also a wonderful thing called a S'mores Bar.
They are sticky and chocolatey and cookie dough like and are just all round amazing. They're the first thing that anyone wants when you say you're going there, they're that good. Heaven. Then, I was recently told that the owner of Cherbourg is a legend and writes her
own blog with recipes from the bakery! So, I've gone ahead and
stolen the recipe, but credit where credit is due, this thing of beauty is all theirs and we are just here to enjoy it. After cooking mine, they were a bit more underdone than what they're usually like at Cherbourg, but I liked that. Caleb did too. He wanted to eat the entire dish and it was hard for me to not slowly eat it all over a few days.
If you make them like me, the dough might be a bit wetter than Cherbourg's, resulting in a softer bar. Which I think is just AOK! If you want yours a bit firmer, then just add slightly more flour if the batter is too runny/sticky for you!
So, here is the recipe for
Cherbourg's S'mores Bars!
