15 CREATIVE S'MORES RECIPES

Steps:

• I don't think anyone needs a lesson in how to build a s'mores, but here's the idea...
• Using a stick, long grilling fork, or wood skewer, stick on a marshmallow and roast over an open flame for 30-60 seconds, or until toasted.
• Place roasted marshmallow between 2 graham crackers (or cookies, etc) lined with chocolate (or other toppings) Devour immediately.

PERFECT S'MORES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Top a honey graham-cracker square with a 1/2-to-1-ounce square of semisweet chocolate. Place on the edge of the grill, away from the direct heat, to melt the chocolate. Meanwhile, skewer a jumbo marshmallow and hold over the heat, turning, until soft and toasted. Put the marshmallow on top of the chocolate, cover with another graham and gently press together as you slide off the skewer.

S'MORES AT HOME

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• In a medium bowl, combine butter, sugar and graham cracker crumbs until well coated. Press half of crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Top with the chocolate chips, then the marshmallows. Sprinkle the remaining graham cracker mixture over the marshmallows and press down with a spatula.
• Bake in preheated oven 10 minutes, until marshmallows are melted. Cool completely before cutting into squares.

EASY S'MORES BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line an 8x8-inch square pan with aluminum foil, leaving a 1-inch overhang on sides.
• Crumble graham crackers in a bag; pour into a bowl. Stir in butter and brown sugar until well mixed. Press graham cracker mixture into bottom of pan to form crust.
• Bake in preheated oven until crust is lightly browned and smells toasted, about 7 minutes.
• Remove pan from oven; cover crust evenly with marshmallows. Sprinkle chocolate chips over marshmallows.
• Bake in preheated oven until chocolate chips are melted and marshmallows are browned, about 3 minutes.
• Let s'mores rest in pan until cool, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate until set, about 45 minutes. Remove from pan and cut into squares.

S'MORES COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F; position the rack in the middle of the oven. Line three rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and both sugars together on medium speed until light and fluffy. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, lightly beat together the egg, maple syrup, and vanilla. Add the egg mixture to the whipped butter-sugar mixture and mix until combined on low speed.
• Add the flour mixture and mix on medium speed until combined. Scrape down the paddle to get every bit of the dough into the bowl. Fold in the chocolate chips. Scoop golf ball-sized balls of the dough with an ice cream scoop and place them on the prepared pans, leaving 2 inches between the cookies on all sides. (You should be able to fit 6 cookies on each half-sheet at a time.)
• Bake for about 5 minutes, or until the cookies start to spread. Remove the pans from the oven and place 4 marshmallows on top of each cookie, gently pressing them into the dough. Return the cookies to the oven and bake for 10 minutes more, or until the cookies are golden and set around the edges and still a little soft in the center.
• Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let cool completely. Store the cookies at room temperature in a tightly sealed container for up to 1 week.

S'MORES

Steps:

• Heat the marshmallow over an open flame until it begins to brown and melt.
• Break the graham cracker in half. Sandwich the chocolate between the cracker and the hot marshmallow. Allow the marshmallow to cool a moment before eating.

INDOOR S'MORES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Lay 1/2 of the graham crackers on a cookie sheet. Top with chocolate pieces to cover. Use kitchen scissors to snip the marshmallows in 1/2 horizontally if using miniature crackers and place 1/2 a marshmallow on top of each graham cracker. If using regular size crackers use a whole marshmallow.
• Bake until the marshmallows are puffed and golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with the remaining graham crackers, pressing down slightly to make a sandwich. Serve immediately, while still warm.

COOKIE BASE CLASSIC S'MORES

• 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.
