Mini S'mores Cups



(Taken from www.pamperedchef.com)

If you're craving the gooey chocolately goodness of fire-roasted S'mores, but it's too cold outside to make them (or you just want to try a new recipe!), then these are the perfect alternative. All you need are your S'mores ingredients, mini muffin trays and an oven.

Makes 24 cups.

INGREDIENTS

7 whole graham crackers
1/4 cup powdered sugar
6 tablespoons butter, melted
4 Hershey’s Milk Chocolate bars
12 large marshmallows, cut crosswise
 
DIRECTIONS

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Then to start off, you're going to make your graham cracker cups. If you don't have a food processor (like me), then take a gallon size Ziploc make and place your graham crackers in it. Start crushing the crackers with your hands (make sure the bag is sealed well), and once you have a few chunks take a rolling pin and start pressing down on the bag. Roll the bag until the crackers are in small crumbs, almost a dust-like texture.

Next, pour your graham cracker crumbs into a mixing bowl and add your butter (make sure it's melted) and powdered sugar. Mix well with a whisk or rubber plastic spoon.  Using a tablespoon, take the crumb mixture and scoop it into each cup of your mini muffin pan. Using the back of your tablespoon, press a little dent into each cup so that the crust is caved downwards. Pop these in the oven for 4-5 minutes, and then set them on a wire rack.

Now it's time for your chocolate and marshmallows. Starting by putting a square of Hershey's chocolate onto eat graham cracker cup. After you've cut your marshmallows in half, top off the chocolate with one piece of marshmallow. Then, put your muffin tin back in the oven for another 3-4 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let the cups cool for about 15 minutes on wire racks. Whatever you do, don’t remove them from the pan right away! They’ll need about 5 minutes to set first. If you remove them too quickly, they’ll crumble right in front of you! I hope your enjoy these simple, yet delicious camp treats you can make right in your own kitchen. :)
