Inside-Out S’mores
The first time I made these was at my friend’s house in Los Angeles when I went to visit last month. We were having a barbecue and needed a dessert and what summer barbecue is really complete without s’mores?
I was curious as to where the s’more originated so I headed over to wikipedia, “S’more appears to be a contraction of the phrase, “some more”. While the origin of the dessert is unclear, the first recorded version of the recipe can be found in the publication “Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts” of 1927.[3] The recipe is credited to Loretta Scott Crew, who reportedly made them by the campfire for the Scouts.[4] It is unknown whether the Girl Scouts were the first to make s’mores, but there appears to be no earlier claim to this snack. Although it is unknown when the name was shortened, recipes for “Some Mores” are in various Girl Scout publications until at least 1971.” Where ever they really originated what matters most is that they are delicious, right?
Ingredients & Directions:
- Graham Crackers
- Marshmallows
- 1 C Chocolate Chips/Baking Chocolate (you may need more depending on the amount you make)
Turn on broiler to low. Place half of a graham cracker on baking sheet and place one marshmallow on each cracker. Put in oven until the marshmallows are toasted to your liking. Remove from oven and place other half of graham cracker on toasted marshmallow. Put back in the oven for another minute (Make sure you watch the graham crackers. You don’t want those to burn). Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes.
Melt chocolate (Use whatever method you like. I usually melt in the microwave a few seconds at a time until melted). Dip one half of the slightly cooled s’more in the chocolate. Set out a sheet of wax paper and let the chocolate harden (I put them in the freezer for a few minutes). I have since made these a few times since my trip to LA and just love them. Trust me you want to make these.
