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.

S'MORES DIP

Steps:

• Combine the chocolate chips, heavy cream, corn syrup, butter and 1/8 teaspoon salt in an 8-inch cast iron skillet (see Cook's Note). Put over medium heat. Stir periodically as the mixture comes to a gentle simmer. Simmer for 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened. Turn down the heat if the sauce comes to a full boil. Remove from the heat and let cool at least 15 minutes.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Cover the fudge sauce with a single dense layer of marshmallows. Place under the broiler and broil until the marshmallows are toasty brown, 2 to 3 minutes (watch carefully as they may brown more quickly depending on your broiler.) Serve right away with dippers.

S'MORES CUPCAKES

Steps:

• For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line one 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper cupcake liners.
• In a small bowl, whisk the flour, ground graham crackers, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
• In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and brown sugar on medium speed until combined. Increase the speed to medium-high and continue to beat, stopping once or twice to scrape down the sides of the bowl, until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until combined. Add the flour mixture and milk, alternating, starting and ending with the flour mixture, until just combined.
• Divide the batter between the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake until golden brown, or a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top springs back to the touch, about 25 minutes. Cool in the tin 5 minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• For the filling: While the cupcakes cool, prepare the filling: Combine the chocolate, cream and corn syrup in a medium bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals on high, stirring, until smooth. Set aside until cooled and thickened slightly, about 30 minutes.
• For the meringue frosting: Bring 1 inch of water to a simmer in a saucepan that can hold a heatproof stand mixer's bowl above the water. Combine the egg whites, granulated sugar and cream of tartar in the stand mixer bowl. Set the bowl above the simmering water and whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the egg whites are warm to the touch, turn white and are beginning to get fluffy. Transfer the bowl to the stand mixer, fitted with a whisk attachment, and whip on high speed until the meringue is cooled, fluffy and very thick. Beat in the vanilla.
• To assemble: Place the chocolate filling in a pastry bag or re-sealable plastic bag fitted with a small round tip (about 1/8-inch diameter) and snip the end. Pierce the center of each cupcake with the pastry tip and gently squeeze in the chocolate filling until it begins to come out of the top of the cupcake. Repeat with the remaining cupcakes.
• Pipe or swirl the meringue frosting onto each cupcake. If desired, brown the meringue with a kitchen torch or place briefly under the broiler. Garnish with a chocolate square.

S'MORES POPCORN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with silicone baking mats or wax paper.
• Place the popcorn, marshmallows, chocolate chips and graham crackers in a large bowl; do not combine yet.
• Combine the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and corn syrup in a medium saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the butter is melted and the ingredients are completely combined, about 5 minutes.
• Continue to boil the sugar, no longer stirring, until it reaches the firm-ball stage, 245 degrees F, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the sugar from the heat and add the salt and baking soda.
• Spray a rubber spatula with cooking spray. Immediately pour the sugar over the popcorn mixture and, using the greased spatula, carefully fold all the ingredients together. Spread the mixture evenly over the prepared baking sheets and bake until lightly browned and crispy and the chocolate and marshmallows are fully melted, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool at least 1 hour in a cool dry place until the chocolate sets.

INDOOR S'MORES

• 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.
