The Summer Of S’mores!

categories: 20 Minutes or Less, Breakfast, Desserts, Party Time, Recipes

We have been obsessed with s’mores this summer. We don’t camp, yet (gulp) and we don’t have a fire pit at home, so I have tried to incorporate the summer favorite without the traditional sticks and campfire.

It all started with s’mores pudding shots for a party…

S’mores Pudding Shot Cups
Use margarita glasses or plastic dessert cups to recreate the pudding shots.
Grate chocolate on top for elegance.
Layer the ingredients for a mini trifle look.

The kids wanted real s’mores. So, we made the best s’mores…in the toaster oven!!

The broil setting on the toaster oven roasted the marshmallows perfectly!

For a Fourth of July party, I was asked to bring a dessert! So I made a S’mores Trifle using the pudding shot recipe. Yes, it contained alcohol. It was a party!

Look how beautiful! Super easy, too!
Look how beautiful! Super easy, too! This dessert looked great on the dessert table!
The recipe definitely needed to be altered! One layer of crushed graham crackers , one layer of pudding, one layer of marshmallow cream, shaved chocolate, and repeat. I used 2 jars of marshmallow cream!

My name is Terri and I am a breakfast skipper.  BSA- Breakfast Skippers Anonymous, anyone? We need meetings! We all do it! Coffee only in the early AM and by 11 we are shoving anything and everything into our mouths.  On my quest for health and anti-aging, I have incorporated oatmeal 4-5 mornings into our family’s breakfasts.  Boring yucky oatmeal?  No way!  You should know me better than that by now!

Sidenote, the kids are eating it and loving it, too!
I have adapted my mason jar oatmeal recipes from this I found on Pinterest-
