S'mores at Oak Hill Camp


Smore's to me was all about the marshmallow. I knew of only one reason to have marshmallows....toasting them at a campfire. 

I have a fondness of toastie marshamallows. The center becomes liquid and the outer skin becomes a toastie soft crunch that makes your eyes close, and think of the snap and crackle of a campfire.  Next....this is so easy, you don't need a mixer. Just a good arm, a wooden spoon and a medium bowl. I use parchment paper on two cookie sheets. Now sing...There goes John Jacob Jingle Heimer Smith..lala la la lala la...

11 Tablespoons softened, unsalted butter
1 Cup packed brown cane sugar
1/2 Cup granulated pure cane sugar
Beat till smooth in large mixing bowl

2 eggs
Break eggs up and beat into creamed butter sugar mixture just a little bit at a time. 


Beat a few strokes till it is mixed well.


1 teaspoon each baking soda, cinnamon, vanilla (you may omit cinnamon if you prefer)




1 Cup bread flour 
1-1/2 Cups rice flour



Mix a little at a time till well combined.


1/2 Cups Hersheys milk chocolate chips
2 Heaping Cups mini marshmallows (Didn't I mention I love marshmallows?)


Fold to mix all.


Now, start oven at 375.
Place parchment paper on cookie sheet.


Lay four square graham crackers 1/2 inch apart by four up to total 16 squares per cookie sheet.


Spoon using one tablespoon per cracker. I use a small spatula to help.





Using a gloved hand, carefully press down a bit to firm upon the cracker.


Place into oven. Set timer to 5 minutes......


After this 5 minutes, remove from oven. I place my cookie sheets on the electric burners as I have limited counter top space. The cookies should look like this....


Now using regular sized marshmallows. Take 16 marshmallows, and using scissors, cut diagonal and place half on each cracker so you have 32 halves placed.










Placing one piece cut edge down, pressing onto center of cracker.


Return to oven a second time, again for about 5-7 minutes. Watch for brownness you prefer of the marshmallow but you shouldn't need more than the total 7 minutes. Let cool and remove to plates.
