Smores Doughnut Sandwiches Food

S'MORES DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• For the doughnuts: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray two 6-cavity doughnut pans with cooking spray (or bake in two batches).
• Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda and cocoa mix in a large bowl. In a spouted measuring cup, whisk the buttermilk, egg, melted butter and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix with a spatula until just combined. Transfer to a gallon-size resealable plastic bag and snip off one of the bottom corners (you can also use a piping bag). Pipe the batter into the prepared doughnut pans.
• Bake until the doughnuts are puffed and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 10 minutes. Cool in the pans on a wire rack.
• For the glaze: Meanwhile, combine the chocolate chips and cream in a heatproof bowl set over an inch of simmering water. Heat until melted, about 10 minutes, then stir until smooth.
• Place the crushed graham crackers in a shallow bowl. Dip the tops of the doughnuts first in the glaze and then in the graham crackers. Top each doughnut with a marshmallow half, cut-side down, and toast the marshmallows with a kitchen torch before serving.

S'MORES SANDWICH COOKIES

Steps:

• Whisk all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.
• Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl until pale and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Add honey and beat on medium to combine. Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and beat to combine, scraping down sides as needed. Reduce speed to low and gradually add dry ingredients, scraping down sides as needed, until just blended, then stir in half of the chocolate. Cover dough and chill at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
• Arrange racks in middle and upper third of oven and preheat to 375°F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment or wax paper. Scoop out dough by the heaping tablespoonful, roll into a balls, and arrange 3 inches apart, 6 on each sheet.
• Bake cookies, swapping the trays and rotating them once halfway through, until golden, 10-11 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool and repeat with second batch. Let cookies cool.
• Place remaining 8 ounces chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat 30 seconds. Stir, then heat 30 seconds more. Repeat until chocolate is melted through. Turn cookies over and, using a small spatula, spread a thin layer of chocolate on flat sides of cookies. Chill cookies to let chocolate set, at least 15 minutes.
• Place marshmallows onto skewers and toast over a flame. Place 2 toasted marshmallows on chocolate side of 1 cookie and top with chocolate side of another cookie to make a sandwich. Repeat with remaining marshmallows and cookies.
• Do Ahead
• Cookies can be baked, covered with chocolate, and chilled (without marshmallows) in an airtight container for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 1 month.

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.
