Gooey chocolate s'mores pie. This pie – like its cookie counterpart – makes you want s’more. Dry conditions and a fire ban has put an end to our campfires – and with it our nightly s’mores. This is probably a good thing – s’mores should not become a bedtime ritual for me – nonetheless the kids were disappointed, so I recalled a s’mores pie I had seen and decided to make one. It was easy – a simple ganache (hot cream into which chopped chocolate is melted), whisked with an egg and baked in a graham crust. Since we still had bags of marshmallows in the cupboard, including mini ones that it turns out don’t roast over a fire so well, I used them as a topping rather than whip up a batch of marshmallowy fluff from scratch. *NOTE: marshmallows brown VERY QUICKLY under the broiler. Start with a premade graham crust if you need to, but they’re simple to make from scratch – mix 1 1/4 cups graham crumbs (regular or chocolate) with 1/4 cup melted butter and press into the bottom and up the sides of a pie plate.
Candy Corn Sugar Cookies Just so you know I, like Kate, had very good intentions of posting actual food today. But there’s only so much time before Halloween and then we can’t post fun things like this for a whole year, so you see we must! And actually, you can do candy corn themed stuff all the way through Thanksgiving, so live it up! Start with a batch of sugar cookies and divide your dough into three equal portions. You’ll leave one of those portions as is (this will be the white part of the candy corn) and then you’ll color one of the remaining portions yellow and one orange. And here’s a little tip. Now you’ll just need a loaf pan. The first thing you’ll do is place your uncolored cookie dough in the bottom of the pan and spread it out as flat as you can. You’re going to have 3 layers here and the height of your dough will determine the size of your cookies. Finally place your last layer of dough on top, you can see here how I use the plastic to smooth it, which gets it nice and flat. Instructions:
Brownie Pops to Cheesecake Pops: Things on a Stick taste Better Posted on September 14, 2010 by Christina Why do some things taste better when they’re on a stick? Maybe it’s the novelty that makes them fun – or the fact that you don’t have to get your fingers all sticky and buttery. I rounded up a few good things on sticks for you to drool over. Let’s start with Bakerella’s Poptarts on a stick. Brownie pops. Cookies on a stick from I am Mommy. Pie on a stick. Cheesecake on a stick.
Bunnylicious Peeps S'mores It’s only natural that you’d take marshmallows of any kind and try to toast them. Marshmallow = toasted, right? They are synonymous. I’ve thought so my whole life. I did, therefore, put Peeps under the broiler today. Peeps S’mores 4 graham cracker squares 1 chocolate bar, broken into 4 equal pieces 4 Peeps Turn the broiler on high. Makes 4 Peeps s’mores. MIX IT UP: Place chocolate-dipped Peeps on graham crackers and allow to set for a portable s’more on a stick.

S'more Smoothie My son came to me the other day with marshmallows in one hand and a box of graham crackers in the other. He said “Mommy lets make s’more smoothies.” I thought I had heard him wrong, so I asked again, and in the clearest voice he said “S’more Smoothies!” He was so enthusiastic and happy about the idea. It surprised me, I had never heard anything like it, so I went to googling and got an idea of how we should make them. S’more Smoothie Ingredients for the smoothie 1 whole graham cracker 1 cup milk ( I used dark chocolate almond milk) 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup, if using plain milk 1 heaping tablespoon marshmallow fluff 1 cup ice for garnish: chocolate chips whipped cream graham cracker Instructions 1. 2. Please, sir, I want s’more!
Chewiest Sugar Cookies recipe from food52 Author Notes: My 8 year old daughter Maddie and I love to make cookies together. We always sample the dough as we go, adding a little more sugar or vanilla (or something else), if needed. Because if the dough doesn't taste good, the cookies certainly won't. If you use very fresh free-range eggs (ours are from a farm down the road), then you don't have to worry about salmonella. If you'd rather not eat raw dough, though, trust that Maddie and I have tasted this one, and we think it's great. Food52 Review: These super-chewy cookies have deep dark sugar flavor and rich vanilla notes. Serves 20-30 cookies 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 1 cup packed light brown sugar 1/2 cup white sugar 2 egg yolks 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 3 cups unbleached all purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. This recipe is a Community Pick! Popular on Food52 and Provisions Tags: Easy, kid-friendly, sweet
1-Minute Dessert: Sea Salt Chocolate Cherry Cake Some days are chocolate cake days. When you drop your stud earring on the floor, then step on it thumb tack style. That’s a chocolate cake day. When you leave your keys in your car and the engine running and it takes you like half-an-hour to realize it and run back outside in a panic. Um, chocolate cake day. When your boss is out of town and the phone rings about 20 times. All of these are possible reasons why you need to shove this cake in your face. But you don’t really need a reason. Serves 1 3 tbsp flour 1 tbsp + 1 tsp cocoa Pinch salt ¼ tsp baking soda 3 tsp sugar (or more if you want it sweeter) 1 tbsp oil (I used vegetable oil) 3 tbsp milk (I used almond milk) ¼ tsp vanilla extract 2-3 chopped (and pitted) Bing cherries 2 squares of salted dark chocolate, chopped Mix all this stuff together & pour in a greased coffee mug.

Gimme S'more Cakelettes As promised: gimme s'more cakelettes! Oh man, I am so excited about these little individually-sized cakes because they turned out super yummy. Like, lick-your-own-plate-and-then-reach-over-and-lick-your-neighbor's-plate yummy. They do take up quite a few steps and components, but let me tell you right now that they are well worth it. Trust me. Of course, no s'mores cake would be perfect without baking homemade graham crackers first, which are far deeper and complex in flavor than those store-bought crackers that taste uncannily like the cardboard they come packed in. Armed with good graham crackers, let's move on to the cakelettes! In addition to capturing the right s'mores flavors in these cakelettes, I also tried to maintain the same smush-iness that you get in eating an actual s'more, too. These cakelettes went over as a huge hit at the dinner party where I served them--I kind of wish I'd made more! Read on for the recipe... 1. 1. 10. 11. 12. 1. 1. 1. Enjoy!
Lemon Sugar Cookies Lemon Sugar Cookies I love all kinds of cookies, but traditional sugar cookies with frosting have never been my favorite. I am just not a frosting gal. (I am sure if you put a frosted sugar cookie in front of me, I would eat it, but they just aren’t my favorite.) I do adore Lemon Sugar Cookies-they are soft, chewy, and rolled in sugar. These cookies are simple, elegant, and perfect for spring. The recipe includes lemon zest and fresh lemon juice so the cookies have a delightful lemon flavor. Ring in spring with a batch of Lemon Sugar Cookies. Make sure you enter our giveaway to win a copy of Our Best Bites cookbook.
