Chocolaty Smores Cups


Prep Time: 30 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

6 Tablespoons butter, not margarine (3/4 stick)
12 ounces dark chocolate, broken in to chunks
three to four graham crackers, coarsely crushed
two cups miniature marshmallows (about four ounces)

Preparation:

In a double boiler, melt butter & chocolate, stirring to keep away from scorching, until combined. Remove from heat.

Line mini-muffin tins with muffin papers.

Spoon (see Note) about 1/2 teaspoon of melted chocolate in to each mini-muffin cup. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon graham cracker crumbs while chocolate is still warm & liquid. Tap tins on counter to settle crumbs. Place three to four miniature marshmallows on top of graham cracker crumbs. Top marshmallows evenly with remaining chocolate (re-warm chocolate, if necessary).

When trays are full, tap gently on the counter to force chocolate down & around the marshmallows.

Chill at least hours. Refrigerate leftovers.

These make great gifts for holidays or special occasions.

Yield: about three dozen Smores cups

Note: The chocolate application will go much faster in the event you spoon the warm chocolate in to a zip-top freezer bag, press out the air, & seal. Snip off corner of the bottom of the bag & use as you would a pastry bag.
