Craving s’mores, but lacking a fire pit?  Everybody loves roasted marshmallows because of that fire-charred taste, but now you can get that without setting fire to your backyard.

“Less Is S’More” S’Mores

Ingredients

• Whole graham crackers, split into halves
• Chocolate chunks
• Heavy cream
• Mini marshmallows
• Kitchen torch

Directions

Heat about an inch of water to a boil.  Place a metal bowl over the pot to create a double boiler.  

To make the ganache, add the chocolate chunks to the boil.  With a whisk, stir the chocolate as it melts.  When it becomes creamy and velvety, remove the chocolate from heat.  

Add about half a cup of cream or less and continue whisking it.  If the chocolate seizes, put the bowl back over the heat to get the chocolate fluid and spreadable.

Spread a little ganache on both sides of the graham cracker.  For a fudgy and less runny texture, refrigerate the chocolaty graham crackers.

Using mini marshmallows, stick some marshmallows in the chocolate.  Using a kitchen torch, roast your marshmallows.  If they catch fire, blow them out.

Smash two graham cracker halves together to complete your “Less is S’More” S’more, and ENJOY!
