S’mores Cracker Candy
This past week, Pinky has been enjoying “Camp Week” at school. The kids were all to bring in their sleeping bags and flashlights for reading, plus, they have been singing fun songs, reading letters from home, and enjoying outdoor picnics during their usual school time. It was such a neat way to wrap up one of the final weeks of school!
Since camping usually involves some sort of ooey gooey marshmallow-ey goodness, I thought it would be fun to take in stuff for Pinky’s class to make s’mores. However, after some more thought, I realized that the school may slightly frown upon me lighting up a bon fire on the front lawn, so I decided to turn to Pinterest for help. (Seriously, Pinterest has become my go to place for new ideas. Too bad it has completely sucked the creativity out of me!) I found a recipe for S’mores Cracker Candy and off to the store I headed to gather my supplies. In less than an hour, I had created a mouth watering camp type treat that was sure to have every last 1st grader bouncing off the wall from sugar highs in no time.
S’mores Cracker Candy
Recipe from Baked Perfection
12 sheets of graham crackers
3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
3 cups mini marshmallows
4 Hershey bars, broken into pieces
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 15x10x1-inch jelly roll pan with aluminum foil, leaving a 1-inch overhang over the ends; spray foil with cooking spray. Line graham crackers on the foil, breaking any in half to cover the pan completely
In a medium saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and mixture comes just to a boil (about 4-6 minutes). Remove from heat and pour evenly over crackers. Bake 5 to 6 minutes, or until bubbly.
Remove pan from oven and immediately sprinkle mini marshmallows, chocolate bar pieces, and chocolate chips over the crackers. Return pan to oven for another 2-3 minutes, or until marshmallows begin to soften and puff up.
Cool completely before serving.
Oh my gah! These are so super, duper yummy and I’m sure if you are searching to eat some extra calories and add a notch to your belt that these will totally do the trick!
To kick things up a notch (and pretend I am still a wee bit creative) I even designed these cute little sticker lables to put on the treat bags for Pinky’s class.
Lucky for me, 98% of these treats headed into the school today and will not be returning back to our house. I’m sure I would be in a S’mores induced coma this evening if they did!
