S’mores Fudge

Posted in dessert by

I’ve been in full-on declutter mode lately. My closet got a thorough purge a few weeks ago. Jake’s clothes got a big reorganization with all of his now-too-small things packed up into space bags into the basement. And this week, I’ve been working on the refrigerator and pantry. There are a lot of things I just need to use up (or accept that I won’t and throw them out).

I realized I had two, half-full containers of chocolate icing the other day. Which automatically meant I needed to try another version of the Reese’s fudge I posted last week. And in the pantry, I found some white chocolate peanut butter and leftover ingredients from the S’more Pizza. S’mores Fudge was the obvious choice. It came out delicious – Mark and I both agreed we liked this version better!

Makes 1 pan

1 container chocolate icing
1 1/2 cups white chocolate peanut butter spread
Mini marshmallows
Crushed graham crackers

Line a small loaf pan with parchment.

Scoop the icing and spread into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute and whisk until thoroughly combined. (Microwave in 15-second increments if it’s not melted enough.)

Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle mini marshmallows and crushed graham crackers over the top and press in slightly. Refrigerate for several hours before slicing and serving. Store covered in the refrigerator.

The latest What’s Baking? theme couldn’t be more appropriate for summer: S’mores. I can’t think of any food I associate more with summer fun. To me, they’re closely tied to summer camping trips and buggy nights around a campfire. Little man took his first camping trip this summer and we used it as an opportunity to introduce him to the amazingness of s’mores. Like his parents, he loved them.

This s’more pizza captures those classic flavors without the campfire. The broiler even gives it a nice, toasted look. (I never get my marshmallows on the campfire to look like that!) This is a perfect dessert for a summer barbecue or even a winter game night.

S’more Pizza
(from It’s Always Autumn)
Makes 1 pizza

1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
12 oz. milk chocolate chips
7 oz. marshmallow crème
1 cup mini marshmallows
3-4 graham crackers

Preheat the oven to 350F degrees.

In a medium, microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Whisk in the sugar until well-combined. Whisk in the egg and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk together the graham cracker crumbs flour, baking soda and salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet until well-combined.

Press the mixture into a greased pizza pan or a lined springform pan (9-12 inches). Top with 9 oz. of chocolate chips. Dollop marshmallow crème evenly over the chocolate and spread out lightly.

Bake for 18 minutes. Remove from oven and turn on the broiler.

Top the baked pizza with mini marshmallows, remaining chocolate chips and graham cracker pieces. Broil for 1-2 minutes, until marshmallows look toasted.

Let cool for several minutes before cutting and serving.
