CHOCOLATE CARAMEL S'MORE CUPS-ANNETTE'S

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350°. Place graham crackers in food processor or zip-lock back and pulse until fine crumbs or roll with rolling pin.
• 2. Combine graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar and butter in small bowl. Mix well with fork.
• 3. Place small scoop (1 TBS) of crumb mixture in each cup of a mini-muffin pan. Press crumbs to form shallow cups. Bake 4-5 minutes or until edges are bubbling
• 4. While the crust is in the oven, break the 2 candy bars into rectangles and cut your marshmallows in half crosswise using shears dipped in cold water.
• 5. Remove pan from oven; place 4 caramel bits and one rectangle of chocolate into each cup. Place one marshmallow half, cut-side down, into each cup.
• 6. Return to oven 1-2 minutes or until marshmallows are just slightly softened. Remove from oven; cool 15 minutes. Carefully remove cups from pan. Cool completely. Enjoy!
• 7. ****If you wish to top with more chocolate...Break 2 more candy bars and place in (1-cup) prep bowl. Microwave on HIGH 1 minute-1 1/2 minutes or until melted and smooth, stirring every 20 seconds. Dip the top of each marshmallow in melted chocolate. Turn top-side up and let stand 40 minutes-1 hour or until set.**** We thought they had just the right amount of chocolate to caramel ratio without topping them with more chocolate so I did not add the extra chocolate on top. If you want to use white chocolate or cinnamon chips, just simply replace the Hershey's chocolate with white chocolate or cinnamon chips.

SALTED CARAMEL S'MORES BROWNIES

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch-square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and line with foil leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides (this will help you lift the brownies out to the pan). Spray the foil. Set aside.
• Put the chocolate chips and butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30-second intervals until smooth, stirring between each interval.
• Add the sugar, cocoa and salt to the bowl and whisk until smooth. Allow to sit for 5 minutes so that the chocolate cools slightly. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well between each addition, until the batter is thick and glossy. Whisk in the vanilla. Add the flour and whisk until combined. Fold in the pretzels and cookies. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan with a small offset spatula.
• Bake until the batter is puffed and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs, about 45 minutes to 1 hour, rotating the pan once halfway through the cooking time. Remove from the oven and switch on the broiler. Scatter the marshmallows on top of the brownies in an even layer, making sure the entire top is covered. Broil until the marshmallows are puffed and golden, 2 to 3 minutes (watch the marshmallows carefully so they don't burn).
• Set the pan on a cooling rack and let cool completely. Lift the brownies out of the pan using the foil and transfer to a cutting board. If the marshmallows stick to the foil, spray a small offset spatula with nonstick cooking spray and use it to gently release the marshmallows. Drizzle with the salted caramel sauce, then spray a large knife with nonstick cooking spray or grease with oil and cut the brownies into 9 to 12 pieces, cleaning the knife and greasing it again as needed. Serve immediately.
