Smores Cups
Based on the old Girl Scout favorite, these are made with
graham cracker
crumbs, marshmallows, and
chocolate.
No-bake Smores
candy
cups are easy to make and great for
gifts.
Try to restrain yourself. These are rich and addictive.
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutesPT30M
Ingredients:
. 6 Tablespoons butter, not margarine (3/4 stick)
. 12 ounces dark
chocolate,
broken into chunks
. 3 to 4
graham crackers,
coarsely crushed
. 2 cups miniature marshmallows (about 4 ounces)
Preparation:
Line mini-muffin tins with muffin papers.
In a double boiler, melt butter and
chocolate,
stirring to avoid scorching, until combined. Remove from heat.
Spoon (see Note) about 1/2 teaspoon of melted chocolate into each
mini-muffin cup. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon
graham cracker
crumbs while chocolate is still warm and liquid. Tap tins on counter to
settle crumbs. Place 3 to 4 miniature marshmallows on top of graham cracker
crumbs.
Top marshmallows evenly with remaining chocolate (re-warm chocolate, if
necessary).
When trays are full, tap gently on the counter to force
chocolate
down and around the marshmallows.
Chill at least two hours. Refrigerate leftovers.
These make great
gifts
for holidays or special occasions.
Yield: about 3 dozen Smores cups
Note: The chocolate application will go much faster if you spoon the warm
chocolate into a zip-top freezer bag, press out the air, and seal. Snip off
one
corner of the bottom of the bag and use as you would a pastry bag.
