I am a complete sucker for a good s'more. I will take it in any form I can get: fondue, cookie, cupcake, ice cream...you get it. I do love an original s'more (minus the Hershey's- not a huge fan; I prefer a really yummy dark chocolate, but that's another post) but I sometimes get these wild ideas and have to veer from the norm. I've been daydreaming over the past week about creating the most perfect s'more and I think I have! I had to be real stealthy about it's construction seeing as I did not have the adequate resources to share this perfect s'more with my greedy little children. Oh, don't judge me- I did make them their OWN s'mores with regular ingredients, I just had to make mine in the quiet of my kitchen after they had gone to bed. It was either that or stuffing my face in record time over the bathroom sink until they found my hiding spot. No, I wanted to savor this thing which meant testing my patience and getting those rascals to bed quick!
Here's the low-down: it's a s'more built with a homemade graham cracker and a See's Scotchmallow (in case you aren't familiar, it is a candy concoction of marshmallow resting atop caramel encased in dark chocolate). Your welcome! I have a previous post you can refer to for the graham crackers. Note: I didn't have wheat germ so I substituted rolled oats. I'm sure you could leave them out entirely, but the nutty texture is worth the extra effort.
After the crackers were cooled, I placed one on a plate, topped it with a Scotchmallow and mircowaved it for 10 seconds, then topped it with another cracker. Pure bliss, I tell you! I guess you could use a store-bought graham cracker, but trust me- the homemade one is far better and worth it!
I have one Scotchmallow left, so tonight I will make another one and attempt to get a better picture!
