ITALIAN S'MORES NOT FOR THE KIDS!

Steps:

• Place 1 roasted marshmallow on a piece of biscotti.
• Top with as much chocolate Cabernet sauce as desired (1 to 2 tablespoons), or just dip it into the sauce.

S'MAUROS: SKILLET S'MORES

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler on high.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Melt the butter in the skillet, add the nuts and toast until fragrant. Remove from the heat and sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the nuts. Spread the marshmallows over the chocolate chips. Place the skillet under the broiler until browned on top.
• Serve in the skillet and use graham cracker squares for dipping.

TRADITIONAL S'MORES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium. Alternatively, you can roast the marshmallows over an open fire.
• Break each graham cracker section in half. Divide chocolate bar into 8 equal parts. Place each chocolate piece on top of half of a graham cracker.
• Divide marshmallows among several long skewers, spacing them far enough apart so that they won't melt together. Place marshmallows on grill and cook over medium heat, turning slowly, until golden brown. Carefully remove marshmallows from skewers and set on top of chocolate pieces. Add toppings of your choice. Place the other half of the graham cracker on top to form the perfect S'more.

S'MORE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and heat oven to 325 degrees F. Line an 8 by-8-inch square baking pan with foil so it hangs over the edges by about 1 inch.
• For the crust: Lightly butter the foil with some of the melted butter. Stir the rest of the butter together with the crumbs, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Press the crumb mixture evenly over the bottom of the pan. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the brownie. Put the butter and chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Melt in the microwave on 75 percent power for 2 minutes. Stir, and microwave again until completely melted, about 2 minutes more. Alternatively, put the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with 1 inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl on the pan without touching the water. Stir occasionally until melted. Stir the light brown and white sugars, vanilla and salt into the melted chocolate. Add the eggs and beat vigorously to make a thick and glossy batter. Add the flour and stir until just incorporated.
• Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the top is crispy and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out mostly clean, with a few crumbs, about 40 to 45 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and carefully position a rack about 6 inches from the broiler and preheat on low. Layer marshmallows across the top and toast under the broiler until golden, (keep an eye on it, it can go quick), about 2 minutes. Cool on a rack, gently removing the brownies from the pan using the aluminum flaps. Carefully separate any marshmallow from the foil and fold away. Cut into 12 (2-inch) squares.

ITALIAN S'MORES

Steps:

• In a saute pan over medium heat, mix solid chocolate, chocolate sauce and cabernet. Mix well. Place 1 roasted marshmallow on a piece of biscotti. Top with as much chocolate cabernet sauce as desired (1 to 2 tablespoons), or just dip it into the sauce.

COOKIE BASE CLASSIC S'MORES

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to high and line a baking sheet with parchment. Put 8 cookies on the tray and top with a marshmallow. Grill until the marshmallow begins to brown and melt.
• Put a tsp of chocolate hazelnut spread on the other 8 cookies and sandwich on top of the melty marshmallow layer.
