EASY GRILLED S'MORES

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium heat.
• Fill graham squares with remaining ingredients to make 4 s'mores; wrap each in heavy-duty foil.
• Grill 4 to 5 min. or until marshmallows are melted.

GRILLED SHEET PAN S'MORES

Steps:

• Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to medium heat and line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
• Spread 15 graham crackers with chocolate spread and line them up on the prepared sheet pan. These will be the sandwich bases.
• Using 2 spoons, dollop the marshmallow cream evenly on the chocolate-spread graham crackers. Sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly across the graham crackers. Do the same with the caramel chips, chocolate chips and toffee bits. Top each bottom cracker with a top cracker to create a sandwich.
• Place the sheet pan on the grill. If your grill has a lid, close it. If your grill does not have a lid, flip a second sheet pan over and rest on top of the pan of s'mores to create a lid. Cook until everything is deliciously melted, about 25 minutes. Serve warm.

GRILLED CRISPY TREAT S'MORES

Steps:

• Spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Reserve 24 marshmallows for toasting.
• Combine the butter and remaining marshmallows (about 15 ounces) in a large Dutch oven and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth, 6 to 8 minutes. Use a rubber spatula to fold in both the rice and graham cracker cereals until evenly coated. While still hot, spread the mixture into the prepared baking sheet. Spray the palm of your hand or a rubber spatula with cooking spray, then pat or press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan. Let cool and set completely, about 1 hour.
• Unmold the cereal mixture onto a cutting board and cut into 16 rectangles, each 4 1/2 by 3 1/2 inches. (To make ahead, store the treats in an airtight container between parchment or wax paper up to 1 day.)
• Preheat a grill or grill pan for medium-low heat, or place a grill grate over a campfire that has died down to a low fire.
• For each s'more, place 2 cereal treats on the grill and place a halved candy bar on one of the pieces. Cook until toasty on the underside and the chocolate begins to soften, 1 to 2 minutes, depending on the heat of the fire. (Move the treats occasionally with a metal spatula or tongs so it doesn't stick.). Meanwhile, thread 3 of the reserved 24 marshmallows on each of 8 sticks or skewers (see Cook's Note). Toast over the fire or grill until charred to your liking.
• Remove the treats from the grill. Top the chocolate with the molten marshmallows (sliding them off the stick) and sandwich with the second treat.

S'MORES CAKE

Steps:

• For the cakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat five 7-inch cake pans with baking spray.
• Combine the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the baking soda, baking powder and salt; mix well.
• In a large glass measuring cup with a spout, combine the hot coffee, buttermilk and dark cocoa powder and whisk until no lumps remain. Add 1 cup of flour at a time to the creamed butter mixture, alternating with additions of the coffee mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix just until combined.
• Divide the batter between the prepared cake pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted near the center of the cakes comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool the layers in the pans for 5 minutes, then turn the cakes out onto wire racks to cool completely.
• For the marshmallow filling: Combine the cream cheese and marshmallow cream in the bowl of an electric mixer. Mix on high speed until well combined. Transfer to a bowl and chill until firm but spreadable, about 2 hours.
• For the ganache frosting: Combine the chocolate and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high power until the mixture is steaming but not boiling, about 1 minute. Allow the mixture to stand for 1 minute, then whisk together until smooth and shiny. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill until thick and spreadable, about 1 hour.
• For the meringue frosting: Combine the cold water, half of the sugar and the meringue powder in the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat for 5 minutes. Gradually add the remaining sugar and beat until thick and fluffy. Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large French star decorating tip.
• For assembly: Place a cake layer on a cake server and top with an even layer of marshmallow frosting. Continue to stack and frost until all of the cake layers are used; leave the top layer bare. Chill the cake until the filling is set, about 30 minutes. Cover the chilled cake with a thin layer of chocolate ganache; reserve leftover ganache for later use. Pat graham crackers over the bottom half of the cake with your hands. Break the chocolate bars into pieces and use leftover ganache to attach pieces of the chocolate bars around the bottom edge of the cake, spacing and staggering them about 1/2 inch to 1 inch apart.
• Place the marshmallows in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until hot and well puffed, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir briefly and then let sit until cool enough to handle, about 1 minute. Scoop up some of the marshmallow with your fingers (use gloves for easy cleanup) and stretch the marshmallow around the edges and over the top of the cake. Repeat as many times as desired. If the marshmallow begins to set, reheat it for 30 seconds.
• Pipe large stars of meringue frosting around the top edge of the cake; also pipe one big swirl on the top center of the cake. Use a chef's torch to toast the meringue. Insert one corner of each of the graham crackers into the middle swirl of toasted frosting so they stand upright, staggering them slightly.
• Serve the cake immediately or refrigerate it until ready to serve.
