raspberry truffle s'mores Archives

August 10 is officially National S’mores Day. I learned this little tidbit at the Walmart and Hershey’s sponsor suite at BlogHer ’12. While there is nothing better than classic s’mores- graham crackers, a large toasted marshmallow, and a Hershey’s milk chocolate bar, I wanted to share some of my other s’mores recipes that I have posted before.

If you wanted to go all out for National S’mores Day, you could make your own homemade graham crackers and marshmallows to go with it!

Some more fun facts about S’mores courtesy of Hershey’s:

S’mores have been around for 85 years
The first known recipe to be printed was in the 1927 Girl Scout handbook.
The word S’mores come from the combination of the the words “some” and “more.”

Clearly I have one thing on my mind this Memorial Day weekend- s’mores! The other day, I made Frozen Cupcake S’mores and today I am making Raspberry Truffle S’mores. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with just a regular s’more, with a chocolate square and toasted marshmallow stuck between two graham cracker squares. I just can’t stop thinking of different s’more variations, hence my Raspberry Truffle S’more creation.

How can you go wrong with the perfect pairing of chocolate and raspberries? I made this Martha Stewart Everyday Food Chocolate-Raspberry Tart a couple of summers ago and I loved the flavor combination. Here’s an easier way to get to that same raspberry-chocolate goodness:

Recipe type: Dessert

Prep time: 3 mins

Cook time: 2 mins

Ingredients

8 graham cracker squares
4 marshmallows
4 chocolate truffles, cut in half (I find these at Whole Foods near the gourmet cheese section)

Instructions

Set out graham cracker squares. Place the halved chocolate truffles over 4 of the squares. Over a campfire (or an oven range), toast a marshmallow using a stick or kebob skewer. Once toasted to your desired level, remove marshmallow from stick/skewer and place on top of one of the graham cracker square with the chocolate truffles. Place 3 raspberries on top. Top off with a graham cracker square. Repeat with the rest of the marshmallows. Enjoy immediately.
