No campfire? No problem. Make these ‘urban’ s’mores in the comfort of your own backyard.

 

August 10th is National S’Mores day and I totally forgot to post this!! The article and recipe come from Chatelaine.com and was posted by Kristen Eppich

 

Have you ever had the craving for s’mores, but lacked the wilderness and campfire to make it happen? Here’s a perfect s’mores hack to sate that craving in a pinch. Roasting the marshmallows over a grill gives them that essential smoky, roasted flavour. All you need to make these quick and quirky treats is a barbecue, marshmallows, chocolate and graham cracker crumbs!

The Urban S’more
Prep: 10 min
Makes: As many as you want!

Ingredients

  • 1 bag large marshmallows
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips, melted
  • 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs

Instructions

  • HEAT a barbecue to high. Get it good and hot, 400F or hotter.
  • SKEWER marshmallows on roasting skewers or coat hangers. Hold marshmallows 1/2-inch over grill, rotating as needed until marshmallows are a deep golden colour. Remove skewer from heat and let cool long enough that the marshmallows have set, and are cool enough to handle. Slip off and set on a parchment-lined plate. Repeat with as many marshmallows as you want to make.
  • DIP half of the roasted marshmallow into melted chocolate, then graham cracker crumbs. Eat immediately or return to parchment-lined plate and chill until set.

Looking to switch your s’mores up a little bit? Here are four variations:

1. Marshmallow + white chocolate + Oreo crumbs.
2. Marshmallow + dark chocolate + ginger snap crumbs.
3. Marshmallow + mint chocolate + chocolate wafer crumbs.
4. Marshmallow + milk chocolate + shortbread cookie crumbs.
