Give me some s'more of those S'more Cups!

One of summer's favorite treats would have to be the gooey, chocolately concoction commonly known as the S'more. I have many a fond memory of sitting around a campfire with my cousins, roasting (and oftentimes burning) marshmallows before smooshing them between two crunchy graham crackers squares and a couple Hershey rectangles. Those sticky sandwiches are a delicasy best made over the crackling flames of a bonfire but I have come across a make-at-home S'more treat with all of the same delicious flavors in an adorable bite-size package. Behold, the S'more Cup.


S'more Cup - makes 24 cups

Have it:
7 graham cracker sheets (I used HoneyMaid Grahams and finely crushed them in my food processor)
1/4 c. powdered sugar
6 tbl. butter, melted
4 bars mil chocolate candy, divided (I used the ultimate chocolate bar, Hershey's)
12 large marshmallows

Do it:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place graham cracker sheets into your food processor and pulse until finely crushed. If you do not own a food processor, place crackers into a large resealable plastic bag and use a meat mallet or rolling pin to finely crush.

2. Combine graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar and butter in a small bowl.


Place 1 tbl. of the crumb mixture into a greased mini muffin pan (use Pam or other cooking spray and give a little spray in each cup). Press crumbs to form shallow cups and bake 4-5 minutes or until edges are bubbling.



3. Meanwhile, break candy bars into rectangles. Remove pan from oven; place one rectangle into each cup.


Cut marshmallows in half using a kitchen knife sprayed with Pam to avoid sticking. Place one marshmallow half, cut side down, in each cup on top of the chocolate. Return pan to oven for 2-3 minutes or until marshmallows are slightly softened. Remove pan from oven and place on cooling rack; cool 15 minutes. Carefully remove cups from pan. I used a teaspoon to help them along. Cool completely on a cooling rack.

4. Break remaining candy bars into pieces and place in a small microwavable bowl. Microwave on high in :30 second intervals stirring in between until melted. Dip the top of each marshmallow in the melted choclate. Turn top-side up and let stand 40-60 minutes or until set (if you can wait that long!). Makes 24 delish cups.


I made this crowd-pleasing delight for a party and they were scarfed down within 15 minutes! And my official taste-tester hubs was equally delighted :)
