S’mores Cups
While cooking marshmallows over an open flame is the traditional method, here’s a cooler twist on the campfire classic from our friends at Rich’s. S’mores cups are chilled treats that are served cool, making an excellent dessert.
Ingredients
- 4 oz. Rich’s Chocolate Dessert Whip
- 2 oz. graham cracker crumbs
- 1 oz. hot fudge
- 4 marshmallows per cup
Directions
Assemble enough cups or glasses for each of your guests. Pipe a thick layer of Chocolate Dessert Whip as a base in each cup. Top with a layer of graham cracker crumbs, then add a drizzle of hot fudge. Place marshmallows over the hot fudge and drizzle again with more fudge. Pipe on the remainder of the Chocolate Dessert Whip. Add graham cracker crumbs and finish with a drizzle of hot fudge on top.
Other Ways to Change up S’mores
The basic s’mores recipe has three classic ingredients — but if you’re so inclined, there are many ways to spice up your s’mores. Try these variations:
- Use an alternative chocolate option, like peanut butter cups, mint chocolate squares or chocolate chips.
- Add some fruit to the mix, like strawberries or raspberries.
- Try a different sandwich base, like Nutter Butters, Oreos, chocolate chip cookies or wafers.
- Make your s’mores a bit healthier using dark chocolate, sugar-free marshmallows and whole wheat graham crackers.
