No Fire Needed S'mores

Hey there! So I tired a snack the other day that was REALLY good!... S'mores bites!  They are amazing!  So I got to thinking... Why not make some S'more bites myself?  They're convenient to eat and they would be pretty simple to make!  So I went to the store and grabbed some graham crackers, chocolate and pre-flattened marshmallows! YES, you read that right, you can buy pre-flattened mallows that are super nice to make these treats with!  

So when I got to my experimenting I had to figure out how to dip the whole graham cracker with the marshmallow into chocolate while keeping the whole thing together.  I also had to cut the graham crackers with a super sharp knife really quickly so it wouldn't crumble.  So I came up with this:

I first cut the graham crackers to size with the marshmallows.  I then dipped the graham cracker pieces into melted chocolate (1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips with 2 Tablespoons of shortening).  After dipping the graham crackers I set them on wax paper and then placed the marshmallow on top so it stuck into the chocolate.  

I let the chocolate get hard and set so I could pick the whole thing up and dip the marshmallow into more chocolate.  The one on the far left is the fully-dipped s'more. 

After dipping the top into chocolate I let them harden again; Until they became hand-held S'mores!  I tried one of the fully dipped s'mores and realized that it was too much chocolate.  So I decided to just dip one side of the graham cracker and then dip some chocolate onto the top of the marshmallow.  Those came out looking like this:

Personally, I think they're kind of cute! Once the chocolate dried and they were all stuck together they were nice to just pick up and eat!  They were less sweet than the original ones that I made which made them TONS better!  I will definitely be making these again since they are so easy and fun to make!  You also only need 4 ingredients! 

1. Graham Crackers

2. Marshmallows

3. 2 cups Chocolate chips

4. 4 Tablespoons Shortening

To make the dipping chocolate, simply put the chocolate chips and the shortening in a microwave-safe bowl and melt!  Make sure to only microwave the chocolate about 30 seconds at a time so it does not scald.  

Good luck, and remember; No campfire needed!!
