First off...I LOVE S'Mores. I love them. I like to eat them all year long. When we lived in a cooler climate I loved to make a big giant camp fire in our portable fire pit and roast marshmallows. We would make the usual S'more with graham cracker, Hershey bar and marshmallow. Sometimes we used peanut butter cups. Once we used peppermint patties. I don't recommend that choice of candy. We've used Nilla wafers, and when desperate, Ritz crackers.
I'll post the how to's for this recipe on this blog soon. Tonight isn't good for me to do all of that.
First off I made a chocolate concoction and it worked perfectly. It thickened and melted exactly as it should. Because I'm still learning my stove, it has dual burners that get pretty hot, pretty quick, I was a teeny afraid I'd burn this...but all was fine.
She really started helping at this point.
After mixing the fun gooey marshmallow frosting I got to dollup it on the cupcakes. WHAT FUN! It wasn't to runny, or too thick...just perfect stickyness.
OVERALL
EASE to prepare - 3 - kinda hard - only because there are 3 different recipes to follow and there was some adjustments that needed made.
Yumminess to the adult palate - 4 - only because I don't really enjoy frosting...but this does have good frosting, it doesn't have that bite to it that some frostings can get. I think that is from too much powdered sugar..but really don't know.
Yumminess to the pediatric palate - 5- My kids LOVE these. Even my extreme ultra picky 2yo enjoyed eating this cupcake. She did paint her belly with the frosting, as usual.
