S'Mores Cookie Bars

My sister and I had baked these sweet treats for Eric's roadway BBQ and the family function we had this past weekend. I had found these originally on Macaroni & Cheesecake's blog, because she always makes the perfect sweet treats for parties. I knew these would be a winner with all the kids, big kids and ADULTS! This is a pretty fairly easy recipe to make, and a great dessert to bring for any backyard BBQ! Can I have some more S'MORES?
