I Want S'More, Please!

Welp, I just blew my plans to eat "healthy" this weekend...but it was totally worth it! Kyle and I decided to stay in Saturday night for takeout & movie night after a fun (and rainy) Friday night double date with some friends, Stephen & Abigail. I, of course, being the chocolate addict that I am begged Kyle to let us bake something yummy, and he finally obliged. I was so excited to make use of all those yummy dessert recipes that I have bookmarked, and made him choose which one he'd like. He's not so into the dessert thing, so it's rare for him to get excited about something sweet. Enter...Heavenly S'More Pie, a recipe I bookmarked who-knows how long ago but was well worth the wait! The best part...it's SUPER easy, and even a rookie baker like myself could handle! Well, I guess in an effort of full disclosure I should tell you that Kyle also helped! He is King of our Kitchen, and definitely likes in on the action!


So, if you are totally channeling your inner kid who LOVES camping for the sole reason of getting to make S'mores like myself...this recipe's for you!


All you need is: Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Mix (1 pouch), Chocolate Chips (3 cups), Marshmallows (4 1/2 cups), Butter (1 cup), & Graham Crackers (1 cup)...

Disregard the flour in the background...not for this recipe!

And, a super cute (mine) or super ridonkulous (Kyle's) apron...thank you Ryan for that little number from Florence!

Now, you are all ready to get baking!


Step 1: Melt Butter in microwave safe bowl...try not to think about just how much butter that actually is!

Step 2: Crush the Graham Crackers...this could probably be done in a blender or food processor if I were brave enough to try again...crushing oreos in food processor = bad memories...let's not go there!

This burns calories...right, y'all?

 Step 3: Combine Graham Cracker, Butter, & Sugar Cookie Mix. Stir until a dough forms. Then arrange neatly in baking dish. Place in preheated oven (375 degrees F) and bake for 16-18 minutes, depending on how hot your oven is! 

Resist urge to steal dough...hands may get slapped!

 Step 4: Remove dish from oven and immediately pour chocolate chips on top, spreading evenly around. Chocolate chips will begin melting. Again, try not to be distracted by the amount of chocolate!

                                             

Step 5: Once chocolate is melted and spread evenly, begin sprinkling marshmallows on top. Go ahead and change your oven setting over to broil on High. 

It looks yummy now, but what's to come is EVEN better!

 Step 6: Place dish in oven, on racks that are 4-5 inches away from the top, but DON'T even think about going anywhere! You have to watch those puppies super close! They only need 20-30 seconds! Hint: We realized that 1/2 of the marshmallows were browning super fast and the others weren't, so I think we'll try turning the dish around after about 10-15 seconds. 

Step 7: Remove Dish & Turn off that oven off! Pat yourself on the back for a job well done! !

Step 8: It says to let cool for 8-10 minutes, but I've never waited for anything in my life, so why start now! Enjoy

I apologize for the lack of technical cooking terms & overload of photos. It's a rare day that you'll find me in the kitchen, much less find me doing something in the kitchen blog worthy, so I had to document this for my future children's sakes to show that I can, in fact, make some magic happen in the kitchy!
