Peanut Butter S’mores

by thestarvingartistfood

So, remember last week when I posted that recipe for Paula’s Peanut Butter Cake? Well, after the cake was made I found myself with a box of graham crackers and a jar of peanut butter… hmmm what to do. Being summer time I see displays for s’mores supplies everywhere I go – thank you for shoving it in my face, America. But truth be told, I really don’t need my arm twisted to be convinced eating s’mores is a good idea. You may recall two of the first recipes I posted on this blog involved s’mores. That being said, it didn’t take long before a bag of marshmallows and a few jumbo-sized Hershey bars suddenly appeared on my counter. Obviously the work of some neighborhood deviant bent on littering apartments with horrible (yet tasty) indulgences. Bastards.

But, one must make the best of such situations. Thus, out came my beloved kitchen torch and behold, peanut butter s’mores were made. The version you see in the picture is without chocolate. I did also try it with a single square of Hershey’s and it was divine. Either way the trick is to spread a thin layer of peanut butter onto the graham cracker, add chocolate if you desire, top with a marshmallow, then microwave it until the marshmallow inflates, about 8 seconds. This ensures all the layers are heated through before you torch your marshmallow. As you can see, I like mine well done, but if you keep your distance you can toast it to a light golden brown.

I also just had the idea to do this with nutella instead of peanut butter… sweet god….
