Day 11: Smores Cups

Let me just say that these are AMAZING. My mom found the recipe last spring and made them for my pre prom party thingy. Although none of the girls ate them during the actual pre prom, because you know we couldn't risk getting bloated and our dresses exploding (worst case scenario), my mom sent them to the after prom party and when we found them, let's just say, they weren't around for very long. They take little time to prepare and taste so delicious so they are a great treat to make for tailgates, parties, and apparently pre proms. If you are a smores lover, you will absolutely die for these. They combine all the gooey-ness, chocolatey-ness, and addictiveness of a smore into one single bite. Also since it's bite sized, you don't have to feel as guilty about eating one (well maybe a little guilt but definitely worth it).  I personally think these are addictive so I try to avoid eating them although, let's be real, I can't not eat them. They are just too delectable and indulgent. Yes, indulgent is the perfect word to describe these.

Here's how you make them.

Mini Smores Cup Recipe- Makes 24

1 cup finely crushed graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup confectioners sugar
6 tablespoons melted butter
4 milk chocolate Hershey bars
12 large marshmallows

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix graham cracker crumbs, confectioners sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Press a small amount into mini-muffin tins (24 cups total). Bake for 4-5 minutes until the edges of the cups start to bubble slightly. Break 2 of the Hershey bars into rectangles and put one rectangle in each graham cracker cup. Cut marshmallows in half crosswise. Put one half marshmallow, cut side down, on each cup. Put them back in oven for 1-2 minutes until marshmallows are slightly softened. Let muffin tins cool for about 15 minutes and then remove from cups from the tins. When the cups have completely cooled, melt the two extra chocolate bars in the microwave and dip the top of each of the cups in the chocolate. Then let the cups set.

We sprinkled them with snowflake sprinkles to get into the holiday spirit! Always gotta have sprinkles!

They are so good I had to snag one for myself!

 They'll keep making you come back for s'more! Enjoy and Goodnight!
