S'mores

Can you believe I'm 29 years old and just having my first S'more today? I'm not a huge graham cracker fan, so I've always just skipped them and enjoyed my burned marshmallows with a side of chocolate bar. However, I wanted to make special treats to send home with my son's class for Halloween. I read a tutorial online about cutting shapes into graham crackers, and immediately, I knew I had to make a special s'more. How you do that is to lightly wet each side of the graham cracker with water and microwave for 15 seconds. The cookie cutter of your choice will cut right through the cracker. Eventually, it will firm back up. To make the s'more, I lightly brushed the outside of the marshmallow with water and rolled it in black and orange sprinkles. I placed a square of chocolate upside down (so the design wouldn't show through) on top of the cut-out square, and I placed the marshmallow on the full half. I microwaved the chocolate graham for 10 seconds alone before adding the marshmallow graham to microwave for an additional 10 seconds. Carefully and quickly, I made the sandwich as soon as the timer went off. These are sure to delight the kids, and they are tasty, despite the graham crackers. :)

This was the 'recipe' I grew up using around the campfire each summer. I was thrilled to pass it along to my kids, they love them. I've used other various small chocolate candies inside them (along with flavored marshmallows) - one great variation for us was peppermint marshmallows with Andes candies in between!

Gotta love a smore after a BBQ. Perfect dessert afterwards. And the kids have such a blast making these. Yum!

Had to use what i had on hand, mini marshmallows and chocolate chips. Turned my oven to broil and held it right underneath the heat. It browned and melted in secs. So simply and delicious!! Will make these again for sure!!
