Saturday was National S'mores Day. Did you celebrate? To be honest, I forgot all about it until I saw a bunch of s'mores recipes pop up on blogs throughout Friday and the weekend. I couldn't go without making at least one s'mores treat. Since I didn't have a lot of extra time, I decided to bake some S'mores Bites- only three ingredients and super simple to make. However, I realized that I didn't have any graham crackers. Instead I went with Ritz Crackers. FYI- Ritz Crackers make excellent s'mores.
Originally I thought I would melt some chocolate chips and coat the Ritz Crackers in a thin layer of melted chocolate. But then I came across a bag of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups in my freezer and the idea to include them in my s'mores was born. The only thing better than ooey-gooey s'mores is ooey-gooey peanut buttery smore's.
Recipe adapted from S'mores Bites
24 Ritz Crackers
12 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
12 large marshmallows, halved
Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Align the Ritz Crackers in the center of the baking sheet. Place a marshmallow on top of each cracker, sticky side down. Place the baking sheet under the broiler for a few minutes. Do not walk away. As soon as the marshmallows turn golden brown in color, remove them from the oven. Place a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup on top of each marshmallow and press down slightly. Place another Ritz cracker on top of the Reese's. Serve immediately.
This looks like the perfect way to celebrate S'mores Day! I had no idea that day existed but I am glad I know now. Love the idea of Ritz and Reese's--such a good combo!
