Chocolate Raspberry Smores Food

CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY S'MORES

Steps:

• Break graham crackers crosswise into squares.
• Toast marshmallows until lightly browned and melted.
• Divide chocolate bar into 4 pieces and place 1 piece each on 4 graham cracker squares.
• Top chocolate with marshmallow.
• Place raspberries on top of marshmallow.

RASPBERRY AND COCONUT CREAM-CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT S'MORES

Steps:

• For the chocolate-hazelnut spread: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place hazelnuts on the baking sheet and roast for 10 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Let cool. With a kitchen towel, roll hazelnuts around on the baking sheet to remove the skins. Discard skins and transfer hazelnuts to a food processor. Blend for about 5 minutes, until the nuts form a butter.
• In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Transfer to the food processor, add the salt, and pulse to combine. (If the spread isn't sweet enough for your taste, try adding 1 tablespoon of agave nectar.) Let cool about 5 minutes in the refrigerator while you prep the other ingredients.
• For the s'mores: Assemble s'mores by layering approximately 1/2 tablespoon chocolate-hazelnut spread, 4 raspberries and 1 tablespoon whipped coconut cream between 2 graham cracker squares. (You will have chocolate-hazelnut spread leftover.)

LEMON RASPBERRY S'MORES

Steps:

• Heat a grill to medium-low heat. (The heat coming from a dying charcoal grill or a gas grill cooling down will also work well.)
• Halve each graham cracker sheet crosswise into 2 squares. Dollop about 1 teaspoon of the jam on one half and top with 4 raspberries. Dollop about 1 teaspoon of the lemon curd on the other half. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Take the graham cracker squares and chocolate to your grill (as the marshmallows toast they will become soft and start to droop off the skewer). Working with a few at a time, skewer a marshmallow on a long fork or metal skewer and hold over the heat about 2 inches above the grates. Toast, turning occasionally, until the marshmallow puffs and turns golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Place the marshmallow on top of the graham square with the fresh raspberries and gently press the graham half with the lemon curd on top of the marshmallow. Pull the skewer out the marshmallow while pressing down so it is sandwiched between the lemon and raspberry halves, and squeeze the curd and jam toward the edge of the graham. Enjoy immediately while warm and gooey.
• Cook's Note: If you love apple pie, try making these s'mores using cinnamon graham crackers and substituting apple butter for the lemon curd.
