S’more Cups
My niece Catriona and I made these S’more Cups on the weekend. They were very easy to make and delicious, I think most children(and adults) would love them. I did adjust the ingredients and directions a little from the original recipe. Thank you to The Pampered Chef, Ltd. for the inspiration and the recipe.
Makes: 24
Ingredients:
1 cup of finely crushed graham cracker crumbs ( about 8 graham crackers)
1/4 cup icing sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
12 large marshmallows cut in half
3 ounces of milk or dark chocolate chopped into small pieces
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Place graham crackers into a large resealable plastic bag. Finely crush into crumbs. You can also use your food processor, that’s what I did. Combine graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar and butter in small bowl, mix up well. Using a spoon, divide up the graham cracker mixture evenly between the mini muffin tins. Press crumbs to form shallow cups. Bake 4-5 minutes or until edges are bubbling. Once the graham cups are out of the oven, sprinkle half of the chopped up chocolate evenly into each cup.
- Cut marshmallows in half crosswise using kitchen scissors dipped in cold water(marshmallow won’t stick to scissors). Place one marshmallow half, cut-side down, into each cup on top of the chopped chocolate. Return to oven 2 minutes or until marshmallows are just slightly softened. Remove from oven to cool 15 minutes. Carefully remove cups from pan with a teaspoon, they should just pop out, but be gentle. Cool completely on a platter.

3. Place the rest of the chopped up chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH in 15 second intervals, mixing in between the 15 second intervals or until melted and smooth, it will take 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Dip the top of each marshmallow in melted chocolate. Turn top-side up and let stand 10-15 minutes until set or try them while the melted chocolate is still warm, yum!
