S'More Squares Recipe


   
Recipe Categories: Chocolate Recipes   |   Cookie Recipes   |   Dessert Recipes   |   Radio Kitchen
Yield: 4 dozen squares
From Flo Braker's "Sweet Miniatures" (Chronicle Books). Flo writes, "You don't need a campfire to make this version of the classic S'more."
 
Ingredients
  CRUST  
  1 1/2  cups graham cracker crumbs  
  1/4  cup light brown sugar -- packed  
  7  tablespoons unsalted butter -- melted  
  FILLING  
  2/3  cup all purpose flour -- unsifted  
  1/4  teaspoon salt  
  1/8  teaspoon baking soda  
  2  ounces unsweetened chocolate -- chopped  
  6  tablespoons unsalted butter  
  1  tablespoon water  
  1  cup granulated sugar  
  2  large eggs  
  2  teaspoons pure vanilla extract  
  TOPPING  
  2  ounces milk chocolate -- melted  
  4  dozen mini marshmallows  
 
Instructions
 
  1. Adjust rack to the lower third of oven and preheat oven to 325F. Press a sheet of aluminum foil to cover outside the bottom and sides of a 9-inch square pan. Invert the pan and gently press aluminum form into pan to fit contours; set aside.

 
  2. Crust: In a large bowl, blend the graham cracker crumbs and the sugar. Add the butter and blend thoroughly. Press the crumbs into foil-lined pan; set aside.

 
  3. Filling: Sift the flour, salt and baking soda onto a piece of waxed paper; set aside. In a small saucepan, melt the chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring occasionally. Turn off heat, stir in the water. Pour the mixture, stirring just until combined. Pour filling into crumb-lined pan, spreading evenly.

 
  4. Bake for 30 minutes only. Remove pan from oven to a rack and cool in the pan.

 
  5. Topping. To serve, remove the cake from the pan to a cutting board by lifting the foil by its edges. Pour the chocolate into a small handmade paper cone and pipe zigzag lines over the filling's surface. Cut into 1 1/2-inch squares. Center a mini marshmallow on each square, and pipe a dot of chocolate in the center of each marshmallow.

 
  6. Store in one layer in a covered foil-lined cardboard container, such as a cake box, at room temperature up to 2 days.
