I’m going to come right out and say this: I don’t really like s’mores. I feel like I’m confessing some deep dark secret here, but it’s true!
I do like a hot roasted marshmallow, that is a fact, but I feel like it loses something once it’s sandwiched between dry crumbly graham cookies and a square of cold hard chocolate. Whenever I eat one I feel like I’ve just wasted 600 calories on something that wasn’t really worth it.
As the chief menu planner I made an executive decision not to make s’mores for our recent camping trip for exactly this reason. But THEN my mother-in-law gifted us with batch of homemade brownies upon our departure (yay!) and as I unwrapped them after our first night’s camping dinner I had a sudden inspiration.
THIS:
Andrea’s S’more-like Alternative
- Take one homemade brownie.
- Top with a roasted marshmallow.
- … and eat it while it’s hot.
It is the perfect marriage of chocolate and marshmallow! Why haven’t I thought of this before? It’s rich and chewy, and you will feel like you’ve died and gone to heaven. You must try it!
p.s. interested in another s’more alternative? Here’s one I really like too.
