A Summertime Treat!

Hello All! I've been MIA for a while, and I've really been meaning to post. So, today I shall do just that! It's a blustery, overcast day here in Michigan. It looks like it's going to rain, and I'm really missing the warmer temps of earlier this week. This weather has, however, given me a reason to be in my kitchen and also to start the Spring cleaning process on my house! I have a list of things that I'd like to accomplish this week, and I've been able to cross a few of them off today! :) Always a great feeling.

I made these cute little treats today since the bro and I will be going over to some of our very good friends house tonight to watch their kiddos and then hang out with them when they return! It's always nice to try something and the kids LOVE when Aunt Melissa brings them something. Can't wait to see what they think!

S'MORES CUPS

Here's a BEFORE picture:
 INGREDIENTS: (I doubled my recipe. The one below is for a single batch)
1 C. Graham Cracker Crumbs (I used the ones the Keebler has so kindly put in a box)
1/4 C. Powdered Sugar
6 Tbsp. Butter; melted
4 Hershey Candy Bars; divided
12 Large Marshmallows

Preheat the oven to 350. Spray a 24-well mini-muffin pan. Mix the Graham Cracker Crumbs, Powdered Sugar and Butter together in a large bowl. Scoop a scant amount into each muffin well. Use a Tart Shaper to press crumbs into well and form a shallow cup. Bake for 4-5 minutes or until edges of crusts are bubbling. Remove from the oven and place 1 rectangle of candy bar on top of each shallow cup. Use a kitchen shears run under cold water and cut each Marshmallow in half. Place each half, cut side down on top of each candy bar piece. Place back in the oven and bake for 1-2 minutes. Remove and let cool in pan for 15 minutes. Remove to cooling rack. In a microwave safe bowl, melt the remaining Hershey Candy Bar pieces, until smooth. Dip each S'more Cup into the chocolate and return to cooling rack. Allow to cool for 40 minutes to 1 hour before serving.

They're so cute! I can't wait to try one. Even for this Non-Chocolate Loving girl they sound so good! It only took about 30 minutes to make these as well. Give them a try!!!
