Our Grilled S'mores
Our version of the classic campsite dessert is done with a combination of a toaster oven and an outside grill. We use less chocolate than we have seen our family and friends use, trying to keep it "healthier" and less caloric for the children. Of course this can be changed! We heat the graham crackers and chocolate in the toaster oven to melt the chocolate slightly and toast the marshmallows outside over the grill to get them nicely browned and gooey. Originally served as part of Graham Crackers Everywhere.
Ingredients
- 6 sheets low-fat honey graham crackers
- 6 pieces 1.55 ounce bar, milk chocolate, divided into 12 pieces chocolate
- 6 large marshmallows
Instructions
We start by removing the racks to our gas grill and turning it on. We also get our wooden skewers ready (although we have been known to use cleaned twigs). We do not have an upper rack of our grill where we could place the grahams and chocolate to melt the chocolate slightly—so we will use our toaster oven for this purpose.
We halve the graham crackers, and put six of the pieces on a piece of foil to fit in our toaster oven. We top with six small pieces of chocolate (reserving the rest of the bar for another use). The rest of the graham crackers are also reserved.
We put the chocolate topped grahams into the toaster oven and heat to 350°. We let the chocolate melt for a few minutes.
Meanwhile, we put the marshmallows on wooden skewers. Carefully, we cook the marshmallows on the grill, rotating them until the desired doneness.
We take the soft chocolate topped graham out of the toaster oven (it helps if an "extra" person retrieves these) and use the plain grahams to help pull the gooey marshmallows off of the skewers and onto the chocolate. Each sandwich is pressed together and we repeat.
