S'more and Oreo S'mash-up

S'mores have always held a top spot on my list of favorite desserts, so it's no wonder that when my friend Claire and I decided to bake together, my recipe collection had a lot of options based on these spectacular bites of goodness. We chose this recipe and headed to the market to get the ingredients. While grabbing the graham crackers, Claire spotted Oreos on the shelf above and had the GENIUS idea to add them to the recipe. We weren't exactly sure how they would be worked in until the last few minutes, but the final creation was 100% decadent deliciousness. Crunchy from the graham cracker and the Oreos. Ooey-gooey from the marshmallows and and melted chocolate. I'll warn you, they are a little messy- but soooo worth the crumbs!

Ingredients: 

9 whole graham crackers 

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 stick butter (1/2 cup), melted

2 king-size Hershey bars

12 large marshmallows

12 Oreo cookies

Directions: 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place graham crackers in a large Ziploc bag and crush into crumbs. Combine crumbs with powdered sugar and melted butter.  Mix well. 

Spoon mixture evenly into a (12) muffin tin, pressing firmly on the bottom and up the sides. Bake for 5-6 minutes, until lightly golden brown. 

Place a square of chocolate in the bottom of each cup and top with a marshmallow. Place back in oven for 2-3 minutes, until marshmallows are slightly softened. 

Meanwhile, melt the remaining chocolate and spoon over each marshmallow. Top with an Oreo and press down to flatten the marshmallow, as if you are making a s'more.

Let cool for 30 minutes, and carefully remove from the pan. Get your napkins ready and enjoy!
