S’mores Day is this weekend which is of course the perfect excuse to indulge in
an ooey gooey s’mores. This morning on WNCN Today I shared some of my favorite s’mores
recipes that include more than just the plain old graham cracker, marshmallow
and chocolate:
o S’mores
Pudding Cup. A fun way to make a s’mores dessert
without toasting a single marshmallow is by whipping up a s’mores pudding
cup. In a clear cup layer graham cracker
pieces, whipped topping, chocolate pudding and top with graham cracker crumbs
and mini marshmallows. TIP: Serve your s’mores pudding cup in a
wine glass for a fun and fancy sweet treat.
o S’mores
Munch. A fun s’mores munch is the perfect make
ahead treat to serve on it’s own or mixed with popcorn. Simply spread 2 cups of cinnamon graham
cereal on a lined baking sheet and cover with 1 cup mini marshmallows and 1 cup
mini chocolate chips. Bake at 350 for 5
min or until chocolate chips begin to soften.
Remove from oven and promptly toss the munch to cover all of the cereal
and marshmallows with chocolate. Allow
to cool and break into bite size pieces.
TIP: S’mores munch can be stored
in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
o S’more
Pretzels. Think s’mores are just for graham
crackers? Think again! Instead of using graham crackers, put 3 mini
marshmallows in-between two twisty pretzels and dip the pretzel marshmallow
sandwich in chocolate. Allow the
chocolate to cool and harden for a perfectly popable s’mores. TIP: I
used gluten free pretzels to make the perfect gluten free s’mores!
o S’mores
Brownie Cup. A perfectly adorable way to serve
s’mores is in a brownie cup. Simply mix
your favorite brownie mix and bake in a mini muffin tin for 2 min less than
directed so that your brownies are still ooey gooey in the center. Remove the pan from the oven and immediately
press 3 mini marshmallows in the center of each brownie cup and add a teddy
graham cookie or graham cracker stick. TIP:
These adorable s’mores brownie cups look just like a little teddy bear
bubble bath and make the perfect dessert for your next baby shower or 1st
birthday party.
o S’mores
To Go. Believe it or not, s’mores also make
the perfect party favor and small gift.
All you need is a cute bag or container that will fit a chocolate bar,
graham crackers and a few marshmallows.
You can even include a cute note with directions to toast the
marshmallows on top of the graham crackers in the oven at 350 for 5 min then
add the chocolate.
Another super fun aspect of this morning's segment was the girl power on set! There were 4 of us lovely ladies and they let me crash the couch!!
