S'More Bites

Where to begin...

It's been quite a while since I've posted, but all for good reasons. The most important reason is that Dan and I are finally moved into the house! We have basically been painting and fixing everything up and then moving in for the past 2 months. We still have a few more boxes to unpack, but we're almost there!

The other big news is that we're engaged! Dan proposed our first night in the house.

It has also been a solid 90+ degrees out for the past 2 weeks, and for our first few days, our AC was broken. There was no way I was turning the oven on. With the Fourth of July coming, and the AC fixed, I figured we could get back to cooking. Dan made his famous and much-demanded buffalo crescent rolls and I made s'more bites. Granted, making spicy food and things with chocolate when it's 95 degrees out isn't the best idea, but we went for it.

S'More Bites
from Sweet Pea's Kitchen

7 whole graham crackers, finely crushed
1/4 cup powdered sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 bars milk chocolate candy, divided
12 large marshmallows

1.Preheat oven to 350°F.
2.Place graham crackers into a large resealable plastic bag. Finely crush into crumbs.
3. Combine graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar and butter into a small bowl. Evenly divide crumb mixture into each cup of a 24 cup mini muffin pan. Press crumbs to form shallow cups. Bake 4-5 minutes or until edges are bubbling.
4. Meanwhile, break two of the candy bars into rectangles. Remove pan from oven; place one rectangle into each cup.
5. Cut marshmallows in half crosswise using scissors dipped in cold water. Place one marshmallow half, cut-side down, into each cup. Return to oven 1-2 minutes or until marshmallows are just slightly softened. Cool on a cooling rack for 15 minutes before carefully removing cups from pan. Cool completely on wire rack.
6. Break remaining candy bars in small pieces and place in a small bowl. Microwave on high 1 minute-1 1/2 minutes or until melted and smooth, stirring every 20 seconds. Drizzle over the marshmallows.
