First things first, I picked a comment to win and this came up:

I’m the kind of gal that while browsing tastespotting or foodgawker, I always initially click on the photos with star shaped sprinkles, light pastel colors, and cakes shaped into cute characters. The pretty desserts are what catches my eye.
After making this, I realized that the pretty things aren’t always the tastiest. These knockoff s’mores are certainly not the easiest on the eyes, but it’s darn good for the stomach. I was craving s’mores at home but didn’t have any graham crackers or hershey bars, so I had to elaborate with what I had on hand. Sometimes throwing everything you have into a pot does wonders (not to mention it only took three minutes)! And okay… I always swear I don’t do knockoffs when it comes to purses/designers, but I’ll let it slide for dessert. 🙂
I never measure my ingredients when making rice crispy treats, so why do anything different with these? I didn’t. Feel free to play with the marshmallow/cereal/chocolate ratio until you get what you like. In fact, I’ll give a guideline for you to play with!
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup miniature marshmallows
- 2 cups golden graham cereal
- a handful of miniature chocolate chips
- Melt the butter and marshmallows in a pot over the stove over low/medium heat.
- When the butter and marshmallows are completely melted, turn off the stove and remove from heat.
- Stir in the golden grahams until well covered. (Make sure to mix AWAY from the heat, as the golden grahams will loose their crunch when it’s too hot)
- Dump the mixture onto a piece of wax paper or tin foil and sprinkle the chocolate chips on top. Enjoy straight from the wrapper!
This totally reminds me of college food. ::sigh::, how I miss those days!
That looks like the perfect midnight snack! I haven’t baked in over a week, I’m having a bit of withdrawal.
I just made these s’mores recently 🙂
We got the recipe right off the back of the box.
Oh, my husband will love this! Marshmallow always reminds of Julia Child’s disapproval for the sticky treat.
Kim, how’s the planning going for Paris and Patisserie School?! I almost forgot that you had decided to do that…have you had time to look into it further?
