~Dessert Recipe Edition at IHeartFaces: Simple S'More Cups

Simple S'More Cups

Prep time: 30 min

Makes: 24 cups

The dessert I chose to make comes out of the Pampered Chef Simply Sweet 56 Irresistable Dessert Book 2010! After flipping through this recipe book and deciding on what to make, I decided on Simple S'More Cups!

The ingrediants you'll need are :7 whole graham crackers (1 cup finely crushed)

1/4 cup powdered sugar

6 tbsp butter, melted

4 bars (1.55 oz each) milk chocolate candy, divided

12 large marshmallows

(2)12 holed mini muffin/ tart pans

Let the cooking begin!

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

2. Place graham crackers into a large resealable plastic bag. Finely crush into crumbs. (I just used prebought graham cracker crumbs), which saved a little bit of time!

3. Combine graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar and butter in a small batter bowel.

And mix...

4. Using a small scoop (or spoon), place a scant scoop of crumb mixture in each cub of a mini muffin/tart pan.

5. Press crumbs to form shallow cups with a mini-tart shaper (this is actually quite handy to have), but you can improvise and use something else you already have in your kitchen (maybe even your thumbs!):)

6. Bake graham cracker crusts for 4-5 minutes or until edges are bubbling.

7. Meanwhile, break two of the candy bars into rectangles. (I got ginormous Hershey bars, so I had to improvise and break a piece off each of my rectangles so they fit into the cups!) Oops...:)

8. Remove pan from oven and place one rectangle into each cup.

9. Cut Marshmallows in half crosswise using a knive or scissors dipped in cold water. Place one marshmallow half, cut-side down, into each cup.
10. Return pan to oven for 1-2 minutes or until marshmallows are just slightly softened. Remove pan from oven to cooling rack and let cool for 15 minutes BEFORE removing cups from pan. Cool Completely!! Ooops...had slight problem here...

The cup after cooling for 15 minutes and removing from pan...

11. Break remaining candy bars and place in a bowl. Microwave on high for 1-1 1/2 minutes until melted and smooth, stirring every 20 seconds.

12. Dip the top of each marshmallow in melted chocolate.

13. Turn top-side up and let stand for 40 minutes to an hour, or until set.
