Before the summer has come and gone, I thought I’d post how I made S’Mores recently, sticking with the original concept, but making each of the elements from scratch, and adding jam for additional flavor. Since I had made notlazy.rustic’s Chocolate Cinnamon Swirl marshmallows with success last winter, I used that recipe without the added chocolate, cinnamon, or cocoa (perhaps reverting back to Gourmet’s recipe?), and cut them into narrow squares, about 2” x 2” x1”. To replicate the graham crackers, I took a Butterscotch Slices recipe from an old cookbook, “America’s Cook Book, Compiled by the Home Institute of the NY Herald Tribune”, NY: Ch’s Scribner’s Sons, 1938, and replaced shortening with butter and added wheat germ. I know a lot of peoples’ eyes glaze over at the phrase “from scratch”, but really, it’s worth it!
