S'Mores Bars

Here are we again, right back to my s'mores obsession. After I made these bars and took my first bite I had a moment of ahhh here we meet again. I don't know what it is about the chocolate, marshmallow and graham cracker combination that sends my heart a flutter but it's there and I always find myself going back for more. In fact, I'm munching on one of these, this very moment as I type up this post.

I came up with this recipe through a little trial and error. I had originally searched a bunch of recipes but none were exactly what I was looking for, I wanted something dense and more bar like than cake or cookie and I wanted to nix the graham layer on top and have the marshmallows star. I love how these came out, they have the perfect balance of chocolate, graham and marshmallow. The only mistake I made was trying to cut the bars before they fully cooked with only resulted in a huge sticky mess. Once they cooled fully they cut quite nicely and came out perfect.

S'Mores Cake

I have a confession...I am obsessed with marshmallows, espeically chocolate covered ones so naturally s'mores are one of my favorite desserts. I have been drooling over various food blogs for months and their wide variety of s'mores desserts when I decided it was finally time to make one. It was Memorial Day weekend and my sister-in-law asked me to make a dessert for their bbq, I knew it was time to roll up my sleeves and dive into a s'mores dessert. I had a ton of potential desserts to choose from but when I saw Sweet Tooth's Giant S'More Cake I knew I had found my dessert.

The dessert was delicious, but a little on the heavy side for my taste. Next time I would use less flour in the graham cracker cake to make it a bit lighter. It was described as a cookie but it had a heavy almost dense cookie bar feel to it. It tasted delicious though. The recipe seems like it may be a bit daunting but it was ridiculously easy. The cake also produces a ton of servings, we had 8 adults and 3 kids at the bbq and we ate about half the cake.
