Chocolate Chip Cookie S'mores

Summer is s'more season, although if you lived with my mom, roasting marshmallows is not limited to summer, or the outdoors. My mom loves to put marshmallows on a skewer and roast them over the gas flame of the stove. 

There are lots and lots of recipes for s'mores but recently I tried a recipe that substituted homemade chocolate chip cooked for graham crackers. I will never go back to graham crackers again. These s'mores are over the top fabulous. I will warn you now they are addicting but DO NOT be tempted to eat more than one. they are too rich, even for the chocoholic in your life. 

I will not even write a recipe because everyone knows how to make s'mores. It is a crust, either chocolate chip cookies, graham crackers, sugar cookies, a Hershey bar, 60% dark chocolate candy bar and of course marshmallows. 

If you are making this with kids using an open flame make sure to watch them so that they do not get burned from the flames/fire or from munching on a hot marshmallow!

Happy Summer!

S'more Cereal Treats

Sunday was the official start of Fall and while I am excited to break out the pumpkin and the spices I thought just one last summer treat would be nice. 

Frankly I love cereal treats and could make and eat them weekly. I like that you can combine most any cereal with marshmallow and add chocolate and you have a tasty treat!

S'more Cereal Treats

3 Tablespoons of butter

1 10 oz. package of marshmallows

6 cups of graham cracker cereal

2 cups of chopped chocolate of chocolate chips

Prepare pan with cooking spray and set aside. In a large sauce pan melt butter over low heat , then add marshmallows and stir until the marshmallows are melted. Remove from heat, add the graham cracker cereal and stir well. Pour into pan and press down.

In small sauce pan melt chocolate and then spread over the cereal treats. Cut and enjoy!

Simple and delicious with the essence of your favorite summer s'mores! Gooey marshmallows, crunchy graham cereal and smooth creamy chocolate a match made in heaven.

I hope that you enjoy these and if you have your own version please share it with me.

S'more Brownies

Although many are claiming Fall is in the air where I live it is still in the 90's and humid. So I thought I would drag out the taste of Summer by making some S'more Brownies!

This recipe is fast and easy, as I like most of my recipes to be. Now that is not to say that I do not enjoy the kitchen I do but for snack type desserts I prefer fast and easy. 

S'more Brownies

Inspired by The S'mores Cookbook

1 box of Ghiradelli brownies and the egg, water, oil 

2 cups of mini marshmallows

3 cups chocolate chips

2/12 cups of graham cracker cereal

Prepare brownies according to directions on the back of the box for an 8 x 8 inch pan. Line pan with tin foil that hangs over the pan at least two inches. Make sure to spray the tin foil with cooking spray.  Bake for required time and then remove from oven. Spread marshmallows over the surface and let melt. In the meantime over low heat melt the chocolate chips until creamy and smooth, add the cereal and mix. Pour the chocolate mixture over the marshmallows. Cool until the chocolate is just set and then cut and return to the refrigerator until firm. 

What do you think? These brownies are moist, crunchy, gooey and have the taste of a s'more with the added bonus of a rich chocolate brownie. I made these and gave a large pan of them to friends, a week later they are still raving about them. They loved the combination of textures and the twist on a s'more.

I hope you try these brownies as well as one of the many fabulous recipes in The S'mores Cookbook.

Have a great weekend!

 As the waning days of summer are upon us, the kiddies are heading back to school and this weekend is Labor Day I have been trying to preserve a little slice of my summer vacation by making more s'mores. As I mentioned in other posts, s'more remind me of family, friends and happy times.

Between the oatmeal which would be wonderful on a chilly Fall morning to the hot chocolate on a long winters night I think Susan has provided over 50 recipes that will help you to feel the summer glow all year.

This recipe could not be easier, you simply replace your favorite chocolate bar with a peanut butter cup and you have a delicious, peanut butter, chocolaty, marshmallow sandwich. Simply scrumptious!

Peanut Butter S'mores

Recipe adapted from: The S'mores Cookbook

Ingredients:

4 marshmallows

4 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups 

8 squares of graham crackers

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350. Place crackers on baking sheet and then place the peanut butter cup on top. Place in oven for a few minutes until the peanut butter cup starts to melt. Top with the marshmallows and bake a few minutes more. Watch so that the marshmallow does not burn. Then top with the other cracker. Let cool a little so that you do not burn your self and then enjoy!

S' Mores Oatmeal

Good morning! It is said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. If that is the case, why not start the day with something healthy and a little decadent.

 I eat oatmeal frequently, typically I add cinnamon and brown sugar and I have always enjoyed it that way. Now however I think my new breakfast of choice will be s'more oatmeal. This oatmeal is easy and delicious! Filled with bits of dark chocolate, creamy marshmallows and graham crumbs your ordinary oatmeal is transformed.

The S'Mores Cookbook by Susan Whetzel

Good morning! I recently received a copy of The S'mores Cookbook by Susan Whetzel writer of the blog DoughMEssTic and I will state right from off that I love it! After all, what is not to love about a cookbook that combines marshmallow, chocolate and graham cracker's?

S'mores to me shout summer vacation and all of the things that come with it, lazy days at the beach, catching fireflies and of course sitting around the campfire after a day of swimming, canoeing and hanging with friends.

As I paged through the book I was transported back to Girl Scout camp were one of the highlights of the weekend was walking in the woods to find the perfect stick with which to roast our marshmallows that night. Then on to other evenings as my siblings and I sat around the fireplace with similar sticks making s'mores on a cold winter night in Wisconsin. It is amazing how food has the ability to transport us back to special moments.

The S'mores Cookbook contains over 50 recipes combining the traditional elements of s'mores; toasted marshmallows, chocolate and graham's. For die hard traditionalists, you will find a few recipes like that in the book, with Rolo's and Reese's Peanut butter cups replacing the Hershey's chocolate and they are a delicious twist I can tell you. 

In other recipes the essence of a s'more is there but not what you would expect. There are recipes for breakfast like oatmeal and French toast as well as cakes, pies, puddings, macarons, ice cream and even gifts!

If you are a s'more lover than this book is for you, and if you are new to s'mores than you will enjoy the beautiful images and recipes as a wonderful introduction into the world of chocolaty, marshmallowy goodness. I have already made several recipes and will be posting them this week!
