Chocolate And Strawberry Smores Recipes

CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRY CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray.
• Combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add the egg, egg yolk, sour cream, oil, vanilla and 1/2 cup hot water and whisk until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Scatter the sliced strawberries on top and gently press them into the batter.
• Bake until a tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool for 30 minutes.
• Run a knife around the edge of the cake and invert onto a wire rack. Flip the cake back over and let cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Once the cake has cooled, put the semisweet chocolate and the white chocolate in separate small microwave-safe bowls. Microwave the semisweet chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring well with a rubber spatula between each, until completely melted and smooth, about 1 minute. Drizzle the cake with the melted chocolate. Repeat the melting and drizzling process with the white chocolate.
• Garnish the top edge of the cake with the whipped cream. Cut the remaining 5 whole strawberries in half lengthwise and place the pieces cut-side down around the edge of the cake.

CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• In a microwave-safe bowl, or in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, cook chocolate until melted. Stir occasionally until chocolate is smooth. Holding berries by the stem, dip each one in molten chocolate, about three-quarters of the way to the stem. Place, stem side down, on wire rack and chill in refrigerator until hardened.

(CHOCOLATE AND) STRAWBERRY S'MORES

Steps:

• Rinse off the strawberry and gently blot with a paper towel to dry. Remove the stem and slice the strawberry to desired thickness (flat slices).
• Break the graham cracker at the perforation into two even squares. On a microwave-safe plate or paper towel, top 1 graham cracker piece with 2-3 squares of chocolate bar.
• Place a marshmallow upright on top of the chocolate.
• Microwave for 15-18 seconds (until the marshmallow has fully puffed up).
• Remove from microwave and allow marshmallow to deflate slightly (if it has shifted or begun to fall off the chocolate, use your second graham cracker piece to slide it back into place).
• Top the marshmallow with at at least two slices of strawberry (or as much as you'd like, being careful not to overfill) and place the final graham cracker above that, pressing down gently.
• Enjoy!
• *Note-If making more than one s'more at a time, adjust microwave time slightly up to accommodate the number of marshmallows to puff up (watch carefully to gage).

PB AND J S'MORES

Steps:

• Build an open fire in a fireplace or in an outdoor firepit.
• Mix the peanut butter and dark chocolate in a small bowl. Set aside. Thread the strawberries onto skewers, 4 halves per skewer, so that the cut sides are facing out. Sprinkle the cut sides of the strawberries with the sugar.
• Place the skewers over the open flame. Cook until the strawberries caramelize, about 3 minutes. Carefully remove the strawberries from the skewers and set aside. Roast the marshmallows on the same skewers, or on long roasting forks.
• Break each graham cracker sheet in half and spread one of each pair with the peanut butter mixture. Add two of the grilled strawberries on top of the peanut butter and then marshmallows on top of that. Sandwich with the other graham cracker halves. Serve warm.

CAMPFIRE S'MORES STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• Build a campfire.
• Put the chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl or pot and set near the fire so it melts but doesn't scorch, stirring occasionally if needed. Crush the graham crackers by massaging them in their sleeve, being careful not to puncture it. Once the crumbs are a fine as you can get them, open the sleeve along the lengthwise seam and place on a flat surface near the campfire.
• Skewer a strawberry through the hull so it is firmly on the stick and dip half of the strawberry in the marshmallow crème. Place over the fire and cook until the marshmallow is golden. Dip the uncovered half of the strawberry in the chocolate and roll the chocolate in the graham cracker crumbs. Repeat with the remaining strawberries, marshmallow crème, chocolate and graham cracker crumbs.

CHOCOLATE-TOPPED STRAWBERRY S'MORES

Steps:

• Top each of 4 of the graham squares with 1 each marshmallow, strawberry slice and chocolate piece.
• Cover with remaining graham squares; press together gently to secure.

STRAWBERRY S'MORES

Steps:

• Toast the marshmallow: Thread marshmallow onto a metal skewer and hold over medium-high heat, rotating, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Sandwich 2 small rectangles of milk chocolate, 2 toasted strawberry marshmallows and a few strawberry slices between 2 ladyfingers.
