Make Easy Indoor S'mores

Do you love S'mores... just talking about them makes me want one. I have been showcasing new ideas for some of our favorite summer classics and I do think this is my favorite one.

 

 

Why wait for a campfire or fire for that matter to make up a batch of S'mores? I have perfected Indoor S'mores and I could not wait to share them with you! Perfect for a party or even just a night in front of the tv, make some of these up for the best-ever comfort food treat. They don't go soggy so you can make them for a picnic or take them to a party as long as you keep them in a cool spot. Make some up and let me know what you think!

INDOOR S'MORES

1 box of Graham crackers

1 bag of mini-marshmallows

Nutella Chocolate Hazelnut spread (you can find this at almost any grocery store- even Wal-Mart)

Fill up sheet pans with Graham crackers. Spread each with a thin layer of Nutella. Put 6-7 mini marshmallows on top of each. Put under the broiler for about 2 minutes. Watch to make sure they get golden brown. Take them out and let them cool slightly. Make sandwiches by pressing two together. Eat right that moment or let them cool completely and wrap each with plastic wrap. Keep cool until serving time but do not chill them in the fridge or the cracker will get soggy.

Put the tops and bottoms under the boiler for about 2 minutes until the marshmallows are golden.Let them cool slightly and assemble into sandwiches.Let the s'mores cool completely if you want to wrap them up. Wrap each individually in plastic wrap and store in a cool place. Don't put them in the fridge.

Summer Fun: How to Create a S'mores Bar!

Want to add a little old school fun to any summer party? Build a s'mores bar! It's really easy to create some old school fun... who doesn't love s'mores! 

First question: what kind of party are you having? Casual? More elegant? Don't worry. You can create a s'mores bar with unique ingredients to suit the style and theme of your party. Use containers and vessels to suit the decor and mood of your event.

I like to make the marshmallows easy to reach so I create a little "sculpture" with them. For roasting, use something you can put into the fire--- wooden skewers work well, but only if you soak them in water for 30 minutes first so they don't burn up.

Select ingredients that will suit your menu. For this backyard camping party theme, we went a little old school with Hershey bars, graham crackers, and Jet-puffed marshmallows but added some fun with Nutella, the chocolate and hazelnut spread, sliced strawberries, coconut toasted marshmallows and even peanut butter. Then we also added some different cookies: Biscoff, Almond Thins, and ginger snaps are all good choices. 

Simply toast up your marshmallows to the desired degree of doneness. I don't like mine too burnt, but I know some of you do. Spread Nutella on your cookie. Layer sliced strawberries or raspberries. Add your toasted marshmallows and top with another cookie spread with Nutella. Your guests will love this variation on a campout classic!
