Cow Pies




About two weeks ago my husband started bugging me for S'mores. Not that I can blame him. What's better then graham crackers, melted chocolate and toasted marshmallows all smushed together. They're messy, gooey and oh so yummy. So I made a few in the microwave for him. Then he started going on about these little cupcake like things that were nothing more then the layers of S'mores packed into cupcake form. Knowing that trying to take these S'mores out of my pans would be a terrible ordeal, I started playing around with a couple ideas. I made these little S'more bites in just a few minutes and that's what I was originally going to call them. That was until they were completely made and looked more like little cow pies instead! Just a couple of ingredients and just as few minutes, you can make these little bites anytime. However I should warn you. They are extremely addicting!

What You Need:

1 sleeve graham crackers
1/2 bag of marshmallows
Hershey's chocolate bars
1 tbs butter

What To Do:

In a bowl, crush up the graham crackers with your hands. You're not making crumbs out of them, just breaking them up in small pieces. Set aside.
In a large pot, melt the butter and then add in the marshmallows. Stir constantly until the marshmallows are melted. Remove from heat. 
The chocolate bars I used are the ones that they market specifically for S'mores. I'm sure they're just a plain Hershey's bar but this time of year you always find them together with marshmallows and graham crackers. I put them in a bowl and melt them in the microwave. It only takes 30 to 60 seconds.
Dump the graham crackers into the melted marshmallows and stir well. Drizzle the chocolate over the top and again stir well so that everything is combined. 
Using two tablespoons, scoop a bit of the sticky mixture up with one spoon and use the other to smush it together and then place onto a parchment lined sheet. Let sit and cool till they firm up. I would store them in the fridge, however they never lasted long enough to make it there!
