S'mores Cups


















Alright...I dreamed these up after having a S'mores milkshake and loving it. Knowing that milkshakes are impossible to transport to BCS championship parties (or any other party, for that matter), I came up with a non-frozen variety. And, well...it's darn good! I made these in single serving cups, but this can also be made as one dish in a trifle bowl. This recipe makes 10 servings, but easy to scale up or down as you wish. If you want to make this in a trifle bowl, you will need to double the recipe, to make a total of 20 servings.

You'll need:
  1. 5.9 oz box of chocolate instant pudding mix
  2. 3 cups milk
  3. 10 tbsp graham cracker crumbs, plus some for sprinkling
  4. Dark chocolate bar, just regular size
  5. miniature marshmallows
  6. 2.5 sheets of graham crackers (broken into 10 rectangle pieces)
  7. 10 9oz clear cups, or your preference for serving dishes

You'll do:

  1. Preheat oven to broil Hi.
  2. Make pudding according to package directions (most brands use 3 cups of milk, whisking for 2 minutes) and then refrigerate.
  3. Line the bottom of each cup with a tbsp of graham cracker crumbs.
  4. With a large knife, cut chocolate bar into very small pieces.
  5. Remove pudding from refrigerator. Mix chocolate pieces into pudding.
  6. Add about 3 tbsp of pudding to each cup, atop the graham cracker crumbs.
  7. Line a cookie sheet with wax paper.
  8. Place marshmallows on wax paper in clusters of 5-6.
  9. Put pan in preheated oven for 30 seconds to brown tops of marshmallows.
  10. Let marshmallows cool about 10 minutes before trying to remove them.
  11. Lightly dust each pudding cup with graham cracker crumbs.
  12. Break each graham cracker rectangle into 2 equal pieces and place on opposite sides of the pudding cup so that they are mostly sticking out of the pudding.
  13. With a clean, non-stick spatula, remove each cluster of marshmallows from the wax paper and place on the top of pudding.
  14. Serve immediately, or chill for up to 4 hours. If you want to make this ahead of time, just wait until the last minute to add the graham cracker pieces to the top--everything else can be done 1-2 days in advance.

Nam! Nam!
