Italian Smores Not For The Kids Recipes

ITALIAN S'MORES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Line a large baking sheet with a silicone baking mat, parchment paper, or foil. Arrange the bread slices on the baking sheet. Generously brush the butter over the bread slices. Sprinkle the slices with sugar. Bake until the crostini are crisp and golden, about 15 minutes.
• Arrange the chocolate pieces in a single layer atop the crostini. Skewer 1 marshmallow onto each of 6 skewers. Roast the marshmallows directly over a campfire until toasted to desired doneness. Push 1 roasted marshmallow atop the chocolate on each crostini and serve. Repeat to make 24 s'mores total.
• Alternative: Chocolate-hazelnut spread (such as Nutella) may be used instead of the chocolate bars. To do so, omit coating the bread slices with sugar before baking them, and spread about 2 teaspoons of the chocolate-hazelnut spread over each crostini before topping it with the roasted marshmallows.

SMORE PIZZA, NOT JUST FOR KIDS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Sprinkle flour on a work surface and roll out each piece of dough into a 12 to 14-inch round, 1/4-inch thick. Dust a pizza peel with cornmeal and slide onto the pizza stone. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until just beginning to brown.
• While pizza crust is baking, toast almonds in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Remove almonds to a plate, and in the same pan, melt the butter. When butter is melted, add the graham cracker crumbs, chili powder, cayenne and salt. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Remove pizza from oven and top with half of the marshmallows, randomly place 1 bar of chocolate over marshmallows and return to the oven, 3 to 5 minutes or until marshmallows are puffed and lightly browned. Remove pizza from oven, sprinkle with half of the graham cracker mixture and top with half of the toasted slivered almonds. Repeat for the second pizza. Let the pizzas rest for 3 to 4 minutes, then slice and serve.
