Mini Smores Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Use a 3-inch round cookie cutter to cut 34 rounds from the tortillas.
• Microwave the butter, sugar and cinnamon in a medium microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until the butter is melted. Brush both sides of the tortilla rounds with the butter mixture.
• Flip two 12-cup muffin tins upside down. Place the tortilla rounds in between the muffin cups in both directions, folding them to create mini taco shells (you should get 17 per muffin tin). Bake until the shells are crisp and just beginning to turn light golden brown, 11 to 13 minutes.
• Carefully overstuff each shell with mini marshmallows while they are still warm and in the muffin tins. Using a kitchen blowtorch, toast the marshmallows until golden brown all over. Stuff 1 milk chocolate rectangle on top of the marshmallows on each taco, pushing it down so the warm marshmallows melt the chocolate. Let sit until partially melted, about 5 minutes, then use the kitchen blowtorch to melt the chocolate completely.
• Put the remaining chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until melted, about 1 minute.
• Transfer the tacos to a serving platter, sprinkle with the graham cracker crumbs and serve warm alongside the melted chocolate for dipping.

Steps:

• Cut the cartons off 6 single-serve chocolate ice cream cups and place each ice cream round on a graham cracker square. Freeze until firm, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, beat 4 egg whites and a pinch of cream of tartar with a mixer until foamy, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Gradually beat in 2/3 cup sugar, then beat on high speed until stiff shiny peaks form, 4 to 5 minutes. Spread the meringue over the ice cream, then brown with a kitchen torch and freeze until serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Line a mini muffin pan with paper wrappers.
• Using a small ice cream scoop or a tablespoon measure, scoop the Devil's Food Cake batter into the prepared pan. (The batter should come halfway to two-thirds the way up the sides of the mini muffin wrappers.)
• Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, rotating the pan once halfway through, until the centers of the cupcakes spring back to the touch.
• Remove the cupcakes from the oven, let them cool slightly in the pan, then finish cooling them right side up on a wire rack until they reach room temperature.
• Repeat this process to bake the remaining batter, as necessary.
• While the cupcakes are baking and cooling, prepare the Marshmallow Icing, if you have not already done so. Set it aside.
• Once all the cupcakes have cooled to room temperature, fit a pastry bag with a large star tip and fill it with icing. Pipe a star-shape dollop of icing on top of each cupcake (see Filling a Pastry Bag and Piping, page 11). Repeat until all the cupcakes have been iced.
• Once iced, the cupcakes can be kept covered or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Bring them to room temperature before serving.
• Just before serving, generously sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs across the tops of the iced cupcakes.
• Polish your look
• This recipe will also yield 15 to 18 standard-size cupcakes or a two-layer 6-inch cake, baked accordingly. To make S'mores Cake, ice chocolate cake layers with Marshmallow Icing and gently press graham cracker crumbs against the sides (see Blueberry "Cheesecake," page 123, for instructions on adhering cookie crumbs to the sides of cake).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Combine graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar and melted butter in a bowl.
• Use a mini muffin pan and place a small scoop of crumb mixture into each cup.
• Press the mixture to form a cup.
• Bake 4 to 5 minutes or until edges bubble and remove from oven.
• Break candy bar into rectangles and cut marshmallows in half.
• Place one piece of chocolate into each cup and top with a marshmallow.
• Bake for another minute or two or until the marshmallow is soft.
• Remove and cool.
• Melt the remaining candy bars and dip each s'more into the chocolate mixture.
• Let stand until set and enjoy.

Steps:

• Crush 4 graham crackers into fine crumbs; mix with butter and 2 Tbsp. sugar until blended. Spoon into 10 paper-lined muffin cups, adding about 1 Tbsp. crumb mixture to each cup. Use back of spoon to firmly press crumb mixture onto bottoms of cups.
• Microwave chocolate and 1-1/2 cups COOL WHIP (about half of tub) in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1-1/2 min.; stir until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is well blended. Spoon 1 tsp. chocolate mixture over each crust. Reserve remaining chocolate mixture for later use.
• Sprinkle gelatine over water in small microwaveable bowl. Let stand 1 min.; stir. Microwave 15 sec.; stir until gelatine is completely dissolved.
• Beat cream cheese, vanilla and remaining sugar in large bowl with mixer until blended. Beat in gelatine. Fold in remaining COOL WHIP. Spoon over crusts; smooth tops. Cover with reserved chocolate mixture.
• Freeze 2 hours. Remove cheesecakes from liners just before serving; top with marshmallows. Break remaining graham cracker into small pieces; place over cheesecakes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350˚F (175˚C)
• Combine crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl until all of the crumbs are moistened with butter.
• Fill foil cupcake liners halfway, then using a small spoon or your fingers push down the crumbs to form your crust.
• Bake 5-7 minutes, until they are just starting to turn golden brown. Set aside.
• Lower oven temperature to 275˚F (140˚C).
• Combine the cream, butter, and sugar into a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 90-120 seconds, stirring halfway through.
• Add chopped chocolate and stir until all the chocolate is melted.
• Whisk 3 eggs and 2 yolks in a separate bowl. While stirring eggs, add a small amount of warm chocolate/cream mixture into the eggs (to gently warm up your eggs so they don't scramble!)
• Pour the egg mixture back into the chocolate/cream mixture and stir to completely combine the two.
• Pour the chocolate filling into cupcake foils leaving a little bit of room at the top ( ¼-⅛ of an inch (6-3 mm) or so).
• Bake for 15-17 minutes, until the chocolate filling is just set and wobbles very slightly shaken
• Turn on the broiler to high and top each pie with a marshmallow.
• Broil the pies until the marshmallows just start to char and brown. If the tops brown too quickly for the marshmallow to spread across the entire top of the pie, take the pan out and once they have cooled for a minute, press down on the top of the marshmallow and the gooey insides will come out and spill on the top of your pie!
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat butter and honey in a small saucepan over medium or in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted. Pulse graham crackers in a food processor until fine crumbs form. With the motor running, drizzle in butter-honey mixture and process until well combined. Transfer mixture to a medium bowl.
• Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat cream cheese in a large bowl until creamy, about 3 minutes. Add condensed milk and cocoa powder and beat until smooth.
• Using a whisk or electric mixer on medium-high speed, whip cream in another medium bowl to stiff peaks. Gently fold into cocoa powder mixture.
• Line muffin pan with paper liners. Pour cocoa powder mixture into a pastry bag or plastic bag with the corner snipped off and pipe evenly into muffin cups. Top each with 1 1/2 Tbsp. cracker crumb mixture, breaking up crumbs to completely cover, then press down gently to adhere. Freeze until set, at least 3 hours.
• Heat corn syrup, sugar, and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan over low until sugar is melted. Increase heat to medium and cook until an instant-read thermometer registers 240˚F, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, using electric mixer on medium-high speed (or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment), beat egg whites and cream of tartar in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Reduce mixer speed to low and carefully add sugar syrup to egg whites in a slow and steady stream. Increase speed to high and beat until mixture is light, glossy, and fluffy, 6-8 minutes.
• Remove pies from molds, turn upside down, and remove paper liners. Dollop each pie with meringue. Using kitchen torch, carefully torch fluff. Serve immediately or return to freezer until ready to serve.
• Do Ahead
• Pies (without topping) can be made 2 weeks ahead; cover and freeze. Pies (with topping) can be made 5 days ahead; keep frozen.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, add the butter, water, and salt over medium heat. Allow all the butter to melt and bring the mixture to a boil.
• As soon as the mixture begins to boil, reduce heat to medium-low and add in the flour and graham cracker crumbs. Using a wooden spoon, mix thoroughly to combine.
• Continue stirring (about two minutes). The dough should form into a ball and easily pull away from the sided of the pan. Remove the mixture from heat and leave to cool for 5 minutes.
• Add in the eggs to the cooled dough, one at a time, being sure to fully incorporate each egg before adding the next. (The eggs will initially be difficult to incorporate into the dough - but continue stirring vigorously and they will eventually come together to form a smooth shiny dough)
• Preheat oven to 425˚F (220˚C)
• Once the dough comes together, transfer it to a piping bag and pipe onto a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet into 2-3 inch (5-7cm) logs.
• Smooth out any peaks/tails caused by piping with a wet fingertip (this will ensure your eclairs cook evenly and maintain an even shape)
• Brush the eclairs with beaten egg.
• Bake in a preheated oven for 10 minutes at 425˚F. Then, without opening the oven, reduce heat to 350˚ (175˚C) and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
• Remove eclairs from oven. Using the tip of a knife, cut a small "x" into the bottom of each eclair and transfer ("x" side up) to a cooling rack. (this will allow any excess steam/moisture to escape ensuring your eclairs maintain their shape).
• Fill a piping bag fitted with a narrow tip with marshmallow fluff.
• Just before serving, pipe the fluff into the cooled eclairs.
• Break apart chocolate and add to a small microwave safe bowl.
• To a separate, small microwave safe bowl, add the heavy cream.
• Microwave the cream for one minute. Remove and immediately pour the hot cream over the chocolate pieces. Stir until the chocolate has melted and a nice ganache has formed. (if necessary place the bowl with chocolate and cream in the microwave for 10 second increments, stirring after each until smooth).
• Dip the top side of the filled eclairs into the melted chocolate.
• Sprinkle with additional graham cracker crumbs and top with mini marshmallows (if you have a kitchen torch you can "toast" the marshmallows to make them super cute). Best served immediately!
• Enjoy!
