Grown-Up Smores

[Rob22315]

My tip for Smores - use chocolate covered cookies - we like Le Petit Ecolier dark chocolate biscuits (dark chocolate on one side). Use a single biscuit with each browned or burnt marshmallow. Just the right amount of biscuit/chocolate/marshmallow and the insides don't squirt out when you take a bite. :D

Nutella Smores

Alright, just got back from our 4 night trip and had to share this smore recipe:

Instead of Hersheys, use Nutella and banana slices! AWESOME!!

I'm calling it Nutell-O-Grahams!

I just discovered Nutella. Actually learned of it awhile back, but only finally saw it in a local grocery store. I am still experimenting with it. Pretty good combined with peanut butter! I'd patent it, but that danged Reeses company got to it before me.......

I love Nutella and pretzels. That salty and sweet taste is great.

I carry about 1/4 cup of Nutella and 1/4 cup of p/butter with me on the trail. They offer me "choices" when it comes to what to put on crackers for lunch. Those two, in that quantity, will last me 4-5 lunches.

Mix p/butter, honey, pwd cinnimen, and sun flower seeds together: Store in container and use as a spread on crackers. Really good. For more nutrition, mix in powdered milk. Powdered milk will absorb a lot of the liquid and you can actually role the stuff into a "log", wrap it in wax paper, and cut off "pieces" to eat as candy/desert. Quite nutritious, too.

When I saw the words "Grown-Up" I was expecting they would have some yummy liqueur or something like that in the recipe.

Same here..... :D

There are enough clever people here, I'm sure we can come up with something clever.

How's this for a start - the S'more martini

Nutella's great, I got introduced to it by a Swiss friend while I was in college back in 1982. Just last week, my 8 year old started asking for it. Nutella really is a timeless classic.

Nutella reminds me of the supersweet sugary coating on Chocolate Glazed Donuts - a bit too much of a good thing... :p

Hmmm.... for us Gulf Coasters, a nod to Jimmy Buffet - the Smorguerita! :D Be great wih smoked oysters, I bet!

According to Nutella's website "Nutella contains 10.9 grams of sugar per 20 gram serve" so it's over half sugar.

Thank you Jack. All this time I was thinking it was 100% sugar. Now I can eat twice as much!!

My daugher and I don't like Nutella but I found something called Dark Chocolate dreams in my local Walmart. It is chocolate & peanutbutter. Yummmm heaven in a jar.

Re: Grown-Up Smores

Here are my own two personal recipes:

Johnny's SuperSmores: a toasted marshmallow squished between a Petit Ecolier milk chocolate cookie and an entenmann chocolate chip cookie.

Johnny's Adult SuperSmore: dip/soak the marshmallow in cognac, then toast it. (Be careful or you will have a torch worthy of caving on a dark night.) Smash between Petit Ecolier dark chocolate cookie and a entenmann chocolate chip cookie

The Petit Ecolier cookies make it easier to do somores for a large group of kids. That's all I use now.

good thread. Making me hungry

Re: Grown-Up Smores

Since I'm allergic to the whey protein in Nutella, I make my own out of peanuts, almonds, or walnuts (or a any combonation of nuts). I like to use it on toast or peanut butter sandwiches. It's extra good with Fluff. Like a candy bar sandwich. :cool:
