GRILLED SHEET PAN S'MORES

Steps:

• Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to medium heat and line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
• Spread 15 graham crackers with chocolate spread and line them up on the prepared sheet pan. These will be the sandwich bases.
• Using 2 spoons, dollop the marshmallow cream evenly on the chocolate-spread graham crackers. Sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly across the graham crackers. Do the same with the caramel chips, chocolate chips and toffee bits. Top each bottom cracker with a top cracker to create a sandwich.
• Place the sheet pan on the grill. If your grill has a lid, close it. If your grill does not have a lid, flip a second sheet pan over and rest on top of the pan of s'mores to create a lid. Cook until everything is deliciously melted, about 25 minutes. Serve warm.

S'MORES CAKE

Steps:

• Make the ganache: Heat the heavy cream, chocolate and salt in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water), stirring occasionally, until the chocolate melts and the ganache is smooth. Stir in the vanilla. Remove the bowl from the pan and set aside until the ganache is cool and thick but still pourable, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, make the filling: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toss the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and salt in a bowl until combined. Spread out on a baking sheet. Bake, stirring occasionally, until toasted, 8 to 10 minutes; let cool. Assemble the cake as close to serving time as possible: Using a long serrated knife, carefully slice each cake layer in half horizontally. Place 1 cake half on a platter. Using a lightly oiled offset spatula or spoon, spread one-third of the marshmallow cream on top, stopping about 1 inch from the edge (if the marshmallow cream is difficult to spread, microwave 10 to 15 seconds to soften). Sprinkle one-third of the graham cracker mixture over the marshmallow cream. Repeat to make 4 layers, ending with cake; reserve a few tablespoons of the graham cracker mixture for topping. Pour the ganache over the cake, letting it drip down the sides. Sprinkle with the reserved graham cracker mixture. Serve immediately.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat two 9-inch-round cake pans with cooking spray and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
• Whisk the cocoa powder and 1 1/2 cups boiling water in a medium bowl until smooth; set aside. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl until combined. Add the eggs, vegetable oil, sour cream and vanilla and beat with a mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Reduce the mixer speed to low; beat in the cocoa mixture in a steady stream until just combined, then finish mixing with a rubber spatula. (The batter will be thin.)
• Divide the batter between the prepared pans and tap the pans against the counter to help the batter settle. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer to racks and let cool 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edge of the pans and turn the cakes out onto the racks to cool completely. Remove the parchment. Trim the tops of the cakes with a long serrated knife to make them level, if desired.

S'MORES ICEBOX CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Make the ganache: Put the chocolate in a small bowl. Bring 1/2 cup heavy cream to a simmer in a small saucepan; pour over the chocolate and let sit 5 minutes. Stir until smooth; set aside to cool.
• Butter a baking sheet, then arrange 15 marshmallows on the baking sheet and broil until toasted and bubbling, 30 seconds to 1 minute; set aside to cool. Combine 1 cup heavy cream, the cocoa powder and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl and beat with a mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes. Combine the remaining 1 cup heavy cream and the broiled marshmallows in a medium bowl; beat with the mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes. (It's OK if some small pieces of marshmallow remain in the whipped cream.)
• Line a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving a 4-inch overhang on the long sides. Line the bottom of the pan with a single layer of graham crackers, breaking to fit as needed. Spread with half of the marshmallow whipped cream. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the chocolate ganache, then top with another layer of graham crackers. Spread half of the chocolate whipped cream over the graham crackers, drizzle with 2 tablespoons ganache, then top with a layer of graham crackers. Spread the remaining marshmallow whipped cream on top, drizzle with 2 tablespoons ganache, then top with a layer of graham crackers. Spread the remaining chocolate whipped cream on top, drizzle with 2 tablespoons ganache and top with a final layer of graham crackers.
• Fold the overhanging plastic wrap over the graham crackers and press gently. Refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight. Place the remaining graham crackers (about 1 1/2) in a resealable plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin until finely ground. Set aside. Refrigerate the remaining ganache.
• About 1 hour before serving, preheat the broiler. Warm the reserved ganache in the microwave until pourable. Butter a baking sheet. Cut the remaining 9 marshmallows in half (parallel to the flat sides) and arrange cut-side down on the baking sheet in a tight 3-by-6 rectangle (the marshmallows should be touching). Broil until toasted and bubbling, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Let the marshmallows and ganache cool, about 1 hour.
• Invert the cake onto a platter and discard the plastic wrap. Press the reserved graham cracker crumbs onto the sides of the cake. Pour the ganache on top of the cake and spread in a thin layer, letting some drip down the sides. Remove the toasted marshmallows in one piece from the baking sheet with a large metal spatula and place on top of the cake.

GRILLED CRISPY TREAT S'MORES

Steps:

• Spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Reserve 24 marshmallows for toasting.
• Combine the butter and remaining marshmallows (about 15 ounces) in a large Dutch oven and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth, 6 to 8 minutes. Use a rubber spatula to fold in both the rice and graham cracker cereals until evenly coated. While still hot, spread the mixture into the prepared baking sheet. Spray the palm of your hand or a rubber spatula with cooking spray, then pat or press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan. Let cool and set completely, about 1 hour.
• Unmold the cereal mixture onto a cutting board and cut into 16 rectangles, each 4 1/2 by 3 1/2 inches. (To make ahead, store the treats in an airtight container between parchment or wax paper up to 1 day.)
• Preheat a grill or grill pan for medium-low heat, or place a grill grate over a campfire that has died down to a low fire.
• For each s'more, place 2 cereal treats on the grill and place a halved candy bar on one of the pieces. Cook until toasty on the underside and the chocolate begins to soften, 1 to 2 minutes, depending on the heat of the fire. (Move the treats occasionally with a metal spatula or tongs so it doesn't stick.). Meanwhile, thread 3 of the reserved 24 marshmallows on each of 8 sticks or skewers (see Cook's Note). Toast over the fire or grill until charred to your liking.
• Remove the treats from the grill. Top the chocolate with the molten marshmallows (sliding them off the stick) and sandwich with the second treat.

GRILLED S'MORES SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for medium-low heat. (Medium-low is between 250 and 325 degrees. You should be able to hold your hand 4 to 5 inches above the grates for 8 to 10 seconds).
• Thinly spread one side of each piece of bread with mayonnaise. When you're ready to grill, take the bread, chocolate, marshmallows, salt and a spatula to the grill. Clean the grates with a grill brush. (No need to grease the grates.) Place the bread slices on the grill mayo-side-down. In the center of half the slices, add 1 ounce chocolate to each. To the other half, add the marshmallows. Cover and cook until the bread is toasted, the chocolate is starting to melt, and the marshmallows are swelling, 4 to 6 minutes. Check on the bread often, moving slices around the grill as needed to prevent burning. If the chocolate is melted before the bread is crisp, increase the heat to medium.
• Use the spatula or your hands to flip the marshmallow slices onto the chocolate slices. Transfer to plates, press down slightly to meld (chocolate and marshmallow will ooze out), and sprinkle with salt. Eat it as fast as you can.
