Cheater S'mores!

Cheater S'Mores!

The best smores are made of campfire gilded marshmallows, Hershey's Milk Chocolate and HoneyMaid graham crackers (if you can find the kind made with honey, even better).

Put two or more squares of chocolate on one graham cracker.  Toast a marshmallow to golden brown.  Place the marshmallow on the chocolate on the cracker, top with a second cracker, and pull the roasting stick out, leaving the hot marshmallow in the sandwich, melting the chocolate.

But sometimes there is no campfire, and - let's be honest - graham crackers can be not to everyone's taste: They aren't that sweet, for one thing.

Here's how to make them indoors and without the mess of chocolate falling out!

8 digestive biscuits with chocolate 

4 marshmallows, regular or jumbo sized.

Heat a toaster oven or oven to a moderate heat.  [You want to melt the chocolate, not cook the cookie because, well, it's already baked.  A second baking would make it biscotti :-)  ]

Put the chocolate digestive biscuits on a tray (line it with parchment paper). Top 4 of them with a marshmallow each.  Pop them in the oven.  Watch closely!  

The marshmallows will puff up and start to turn colour.  You won't get as golden a colour in the big oven as you would over a campfire, but will get some from a toaster oven if the top burner comes on. 

As soon as that happens, take the tray out, pop the empty biscuits on top of the marshmallows and serve!

 Of course, these are also wonderful with campfire marshmallows too!
