OK, maybe campfire s’mores are the best, but these are pretty darn close. Last night my daughters and friends were craving s’mores while they watched a movie. Since we were lacking a very important ingredient – the campfire – I got creative, and they results were deeeelicious!

YUMM! My family LOVED these s'mores even without the campfire!

1. Turn the oven on “Broil”.
2. In a 9-inch skillet, melt 2 1/2 tbl of butter.
3. Add 1 1/2 tbl sugar and 3/4 c graham cracker crumbs (about 12 graham crackers finely chopped in a food processor or blender). Mix over the heat and let it get hot, not burned, but just enough to start caramelizing the sugar a little bit, it really adds a great flavor. This just takes a couple of minutes, while stirring with a fork.
4. Remove from heat and using the back of the fork, press the crust into the skillet evenly.
5. Put the skillet under the broiler for just a minute or two, you don’t want to burn it, you just want to set the crust.
6. Remove the skillet from the broiler and add 2 Hersey’s bars, broken up evenly over the top of the graham cracker crust, then layer that with marshmallow halves.
7. Place the skillet back under the broiler with the door ajar until the marshmallows are toasted golden brown. Watch them closely, they’ll burn fast! I know this from experience…
8. Grab a fork and enjoy! They’re gooey and sweet, and the caramelized sugar gives them a great depth of flavor. I hope your family enjoys this fun dessert as much as mine did. Let me know what they thought.
