Some Mores
Some Mores
You may be familiar with the more popular version of this name, "S'mores" which is a contraction of the phrase "some more". "Graham Cracker Sandwich" was the term used when the recipe was published by the Campfire Marshmallow Company in the 1920's, then appeared as "Some More" when published in a cookbook for the Girl Scouts in 1927, and the term "S'mores" was used in 1938 in a cookbook aimed for summer camps, and was popular in both the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts. In 1957, the recipe for "S'mores" appears in a Betty Crocker cookbook. A s'more is basically a graham cracker topped with a toasted marshmallow and some chocolate bar. This recipe is just marshmallow cream sandwiched between graham crackers and dipped in melted almond bark, easy and simple. Since no toasted marshmallows are used, these could also be called "Moon Pies" which were created in 1917. Regardless of any name you wish to use, they are easy and tasty. Measurements are approximate, this is a make what you want guide.
Ingredients
- 2 packs graham crackers, (3 packs in a box, use 2 of those packs)
- 1 jar marshmallow cream, (7 oz / 198 g), you will use about 1/2 of that
- 750 grams almond bark, (aka chocolate coating, 1 1/2 lbs)
- candy sprinkles, optional
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with foil. Open the two packs of graham crackers. Using the lines on the crackers, break the crackers in half, then each half in half, so you have 4 crackers from each cracker from the packs. Don't worry if a few crackers break in odd shapes, those are treats for the cook, so just enjoy those at your leisure.
- Spread marshmallow cream on a cracker then top with another cracker, place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all the crackers are used. Place the baking sheet in the fridge to chill.
- Setup a double boiler, place on low heat, and add the almond bark. Allow the bark to melt, and stir the coating once in a while as it melts.
- When the bark is fully melted and smooth, remove the crackers from the fridge. Drop a cracker in the bark, turn it with a fork and coat all sides, lift the cracker out with the fork, scrape off the excess bark from the bottom of the fork and place the cookie back on the foil. Repeat until all crackers are coated. If you want to sprinkle with candy sprinkles, coat about 5 cookies then sprinkle them, if you wait until all the cookies are dipped, the coating may have set up and not able for the sprinkles to stick.
- Place the baking sheet back in the fridge to chill for about 20 minutes or longer.
- Serve and enjoy.
Notes
Cost per serving would be based on location for these. Low cost per serving in the US, this would be costly in Thailand as 2 out of 3 items would have to be bought at high end western stores.
