Foodie Friday - S'Mores

 
Foodie Friday is all about sharing good food with great friends on the blog-o-sphere and just down the street.  Go visit Designs by Gollum for more goodies.

Remember the good old campfire favorite.  Toast your marshmallow in the fire pit, place on a graham cracker layered with a chocolate square, then squished together with another graham cracker to make the most delicious treat ever.
Well, I don't.  Why?  Because this is not a favorite treat in the Dominican Republic.  When I finally did get the chance to try melting a marshamalow in the campfire I failed.  The thing just caught fire and became a black blog on my stick.  Someone eventually felt bad and handed me a perfectly tanned marshmallow but to be honest, I didn't get it.  It tasted like smoke, sort of bitter.  It just wasn't working for me.
That is, until.... I discovered that I could make them at home in the microwave.
Smile Big.  Here it is.  This is a great treat when my girls have sleepovers or when I want just one for dessert.   Try it, you'll like it.
  
 
  
 
 
 
Ingredients
Graham Crackers
Chocolate Candy Bar
Large Marshmallows
  • Break the graham cracker in half and place in on a plate or paper towel.
  • Place 2 squares of chocolate on the cracker.
  • Place one large marshmallow on the chocolate.
  • Cook in microwave on high for 10-12 seconds.
  • Top with the other half of the graham cracker.
Squish it and eat it!!
The chocolate will melt right out but it's OK if it gets a little messy, still yummy and fun for everyone.
Enjoy!

  1. You can also make a "blonde" version -- saltines, peanut butter and marshmallow. Yum. Makes me want to go camping... in my living room ;)

  2. Oh yes... I love making s'mores in the microwave. Delicious and easier than over a campfire... but I like them that way too. It's hard to make chocolate and marshmallow taste bad, no matter how you fix it.

  4. @SnoWhite - great idea. My daughter loves peanut butter, banana and marshmallow. this would be a different and delicious treat. Thanks.

    @Peg - I agree that anything with chocolate taste great and maybe I should give it a second chance. Last time I just tried the marshmallow toasted by itself and it wasn't my thing. I bet I could just dip it in melted chocolate too.

    @Pop yes, everyone loves them. My friend tried this with white chocolate and again it was a hit. Thanks for stopping by.

  7. I love the "squishing" part...oh and eating it of course. I enjoy gathering around the fire-pit chatting and eatin' s'mores! That's what summer evenings are made of.

    Sweet wishes,
    Sara

  8. @ Mary - yes Mary, this is my version until I am able to make one over the fire.

    @H&S - Thanks for stopping by. My girls can smell them a mile a way too.

    @Sara - the squishing part is my favorite because I know what comes next.. :-) Maybe after I move to Cuba I'll experiment making the real outdoor version.

  12. Now you've gone and done it! My tastebuds are shouting yes, yes, YES and my hips are saying no, no, NO! I tend to listen to my tastebuds, so I know I'm in trouble.

    I love campfire s'mores, but now that I know I can satisfy that chocolate craving in 10-12 seconds, I can be a happy camper right here at home!
