Pampered Chef-S'more Cups

I had first come across this recipe on Pinterest.  I have been addicted to everything and anything smores recently.  This one caught my eye immediately.  Then, I realized it was a Pampered Chef recipe.  Score!  I definitely had all of the tools for this recipe and couldn't wait to make it.  It was very easy to make.  But, you have to be patient with this recipe.  I wanted to take the cups out of the muffin pan before they were completely cooled.  But, they will fall apart if you do! I did make some changes to the recipe, but only to make it quicker and easier to make.  I used crushed graham crackers instead of crushing them myself.  I also used the Baker's melting chocolate in a cup.  It took 30 seconds to melt and I was able to save the leftover chocolate.  There weren't any leftover at our football kickoff party this past weekend.  Enjoy!

S'more Cups

Ingredients: 7   whole graham crackers (1 cup/250 mL finely crushed) 1/4   cup (50 mL) powdered sugar 6   tbsp (90 mL) butter, melted 4   bars (1.55 oz or 43 g each) milk chocolate candy, divided 12   large marshmallows Directions: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Place graham crackers into a large resealable plastic bag. Finely crush into crumbs using Baker's Roller®;. Combine graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar and butter in Small Batter Bowl. Using Small Scoop, place scant scoop of crumb mixture in each cup of Deluxe Mini-Muffin Pan. Press crumbs to form shallow cups with Mini-Tart Shaper. Bake 4-5 minutes or until edges are bubbling. Meanwhile, break two of the candy bars into rectangles. Remove pan from oven; place one rectangle into each cup. Cut marshmallows in half crosswise using Professional Shears dipped in cold water. Place one marshmallow half, cut-side down, into each cup. Return to oven 1-2 minutes or until marshmallows are just slightly softened. Remove from oven to Stackable Cooling Rack; cool 15 minutes. Carefully remove cups from pan. Cool completely. Break remaining candy bars and place in (1-cup/250 mL) Prep Bowl. Microwave on HIGH 1 minute-1 1/2 minutes or until melted and smooth, stirring every 20 seconds. Dip the top of each marshmallow in melted chocolate. Turn top-side up and let stand 40 minutes-1 hour or until set.

The time it takes the chocolate to set varies depending on weather conditions and room temperature. You can refrigerate the cups briefly until the chocolate is set; store them at room temperature. Store the cups in a single layer in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Freezing is not recommended. For a richer chocolate flavor, substitute dark chocolate candy bars for the milk chocolate. © 2011 The Pampered Chef used under license. www.pamperedchef.com
