S'mores Cups!

Hello everyone! I know it's been quite awhile since I've last posted, but I'm here now! I've been really busy lately with school, but appear to be on top of things at the moment (we'll see how long it lasts)!

Speaking of school it has started! And at least for me, school is one of the first signs of fall. And sadly, the start of fall is the end of summer. So, my friend found this wonderful recipe for us to send the summer off while welcoming in the fall. Here is my new favorite play on s'mores, and you don't even need an oven!




My friend made this one, that's why it's so perfect


A great thing about summer is s'mores, of course


And a wonderful thing about the fall is mugs (especially if it's filled with a chai latte)


These are the best of both worlds. And it's layered. All the components of a rock star dessert.




My single serving, quick, easy, perfect little cup of bliss.



Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1/4 cup chopped chocolate (dark, milk, whatever makes your muffin rise)
  • 4 tablespoons milk
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons flour
  • 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • a handful of mini marshmallows

Process

In a mug, mix together graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. You can buy graham cracker crumbs, but I prefer to crush two to three graham crackers with a hard object (in a baggie to prevent mess!). Use a spoon to flatten the mixture for the bottom layer. In a small bowl, mix together chocolate and milk. Microwave for thirty seconds, and stir until completely melted. Add baking powder and flour to the chocolate mixture and stir until smooth. Pour it over the graham cracker layer, and microwave for a minute and thirty seconds. Top with mini marshmallows and microwave for another fifteen seconds. Enjoy!
