Funfetti Gooey S’mores Bars {Funfetti Week!}

I can’t remember when or for what, but awhile ago I was looking at a feature that was written up about Funfetti goodies, and a couple of my recipes were featured.  I made the mistake of scrolling to the comments section.

Most of the comments featured your standard “looks like a bunch of di-uh-bee-tus” or “mm!”, but then there was one that particularly haunted my soul to the core.

“Sprinkles are disgusting; why does everyone cover desserts in them?”

Ex-squeeze me?  I beg your pardon, PLEASE?!

Sprinkles are the antithesis of disgusting.  They’re magical, mystical, rainbow entities that not only brighten up a dish literally and figuratively, but they brighten up your soul with their simple happiness.  Much like how it’s virtually impossible to shout “BUBBLES” angrily (seriously, try to say the word ‘bubbles’ as angry as possible), it is virtually impossible to pout while eating something sprinkly.

So the fact that the world is populated with a sprinkle-hating alien is absolute pish-posh.  We must hunt this person down and drown all of their food with rainbow jimmies as torture.

Anyway, because of that comment I figured a passive-aggressive Funfetti Week would seriously upset that sprinkle-hater (and I’m really hoping he’s the only one; I don’t know if my brain can handle anyone else) but simultaneously elate the masses of sprinkle-lovers in the world.  How can you not enjoy sprinkle-smothered food?  I ask the real questions, people.

To kick off Funfetti Week, I have the gooiest Funfetti treat that’s possibly ever existed.  They’re Funfetti Gooey S’mores Bars, and they’re positively ridic, y’all.  While brainstorming recipes for Funfetti Week I realized I’ve never paired Funfetti with marshmallow and chocolate to create a gooey, decadent treat.  It was high time that changed, and thus, these insane bars were born.

If you have di-uh-bee-tus or are going to comment something along contracting it, I’d come back next week or kindly click the little ‘X’ at the top right of your screen; this blog isn’t and has never been a health food blog, nor is it a blog that thinks of sprinkles as disgusting.  And if that bothers you, your home planet wants you back.

Everyone else: REJOICE!  The sprinkles, like the buttery, cake battery flavor and luscious, thick marshmallow and chocolate goo, is plentiful here!

Oh. Em. Gee.  These bars are not for the faint of sprinkle heart.  They are SO sweet, SO gooey, SO sprinkly, and SO addictive — even with my fingers smothered in thick, sticky marshmallow goo, I still went back for more!  I love the pockets of creamy white chocolate swirled throughout and the crunch from the Golden Oreos nestled in between layers of thick, buttery cookie dough.  If you want to cut the sweetness a tad, feel free to use regular milk chocolate Hershey’s bars instead of the white chocolate ones.  You could also use the Birthday Cake Oreos instead of the Golden Oreos, but I loved the sweet, golden crunch from the Golden version.  Feel free to adjust it to your tastes, but never omit the sprinkles 🙂

Have a fantastical day!!
