Magic S'mores
99% of what I cook is healthy. Seriously. That other 1%, however, is the stuff of dreams. For example, I figure if I'm going to inhale desert, I'm going to make it worth every single calorie. Forget the fat-free crap, BRING ON THE CALORIES AND CLOGGED ARTERIES.
Although, I'm pretty sure there are no calories in these. Ahem.
The original idea came from here, but then I twisted it around and sprinkled in a little extra magic and mayhem. Go big or go home, people.
Magic S'mores
You'll need:
1 pouch (17.5 oz) peanut butter cookie mix
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 cup butter, melted
1 bag (11.5 oz) milk chocolate chips
1 cup caramels
1 bag (10.6 oz) small marshmallows
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a large bowl, combine cookie mix and graham crackers. Add melted butter and stir until it forms a dough. Press into an ungreased 13x9" pan.
Bake the cookie dough mixture for 15-16 minutes, or until puffy and almost done. Top with caramels and place back in the oven. Bake for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until caramels are softened and the cookie dough is lightly browned.
Immediately top cookie mix and caramels with chocolate chips. Wait 3-4 minutes and then spread melted chocolate evenly across the top.
Set oven to broil (high if you have a choice). Top the cookie mix, caramels, and chocolate with the marshmallows. Broil the whole awesome mess for about one minute, or until the marshmallows are lightly browned. Keep an eye on it because the marshmallows will go from perfect to burnt to a crisp almost instantly.
Allow to cool for a few mintues before cutting into small squares.
Serve warm. Make sure you have wet wipes or something handy because SHOCKER! Melted chocolate, caramel, and marshmallows get a bit messy and sticky and ZOMG! SO GOOD!
I think these are probably going to be our picnik/potluck dish of the summer. They're perfect for sharing.

Love this! Can't wait to try this out...
My Daisy troop just voted to eat Smores at our next meeting! Since it is an after school meeting, I told them we couldn't have a bonfire, that I would have to tweak them a bit. I think I will use this recipe! They look great :) Thanks.
Sweet fancy moses!!!
OMG, I love how you think. I'll be making these on Saturday. I may not even wait that long.
Oh my poor hips. Those look incredible.
Seriously? Are you trying to kill my soul? I gave this shit up for Lent! Was the peanut butter cookie mix necessary, really?
@Big Bud Cowboy--Ummmm...YES! The original recipe called for sugar cookie mix, but chocolate without peanut butter is stupid. Just plain stupid. ;-)
O.M.G. I bet those are illegal down south because they may be a gateway drug.
I can think of one potluck in particular, at which those would be a huge hit...
OH nommynom nom! I was tempted to run right out to the store as soon as I read this post. I'm holding myself back. I will try it eventually though. Probably eat the entire pan. Nice! Thanks for sharing!
Sharing? Forget that. Mine. All mine.
WHOA....those look awesome. I def need to make them before having this baby so I do not feel guilty if I eat 2 ;)
Anna and I are going to have to make these! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe.
OH. MY. WORD, woman. Are you TRYING to make my hips five inches wider than they are? I think they grew an inch just reading the recipe!
can I just say awesome.. I am totally going to make this. It is going to be a great treat to make at the cottage. Thanks!
It made my mouth water.
Go big or go home, indeed! That's the only way we do things! We're going to the world's largest candy store this weekend (Dylan's)...livin' the dream!
Damn you. You are so wonderful, but damn you. I have to make this, like, yesterday.
SO SO good! Thanks for sharing!
Oh, wow. MUST try this, asap.
Thank you. :-)
