Give Me Some More S'Mores

While I was trying to think up a new recipe to try this weekend, I started pondering all of my favorite foods, and different ways I could turn these ideas into pancakes. That's when I stumbled across one of my favorite campfire snacks while growing up. 

Every year, right during the middle of autumn, when the nights start to cool, and the sun begins to set earlier, my Grandparents would host a wienie roast! It was always so much fun. I loved how all of my aunts, uncles, and cousins would get together for this one night. We would sit around a campfire, my grandpa would build, roasting hotdogs, and then sitting way to close on picnik benches devouring every last one. 

BUT, we always knew to save just a little bit of room for the best and most glorious, ooey-gooey treat of all. S'MORES! 

I always liked to toast my marshmallow nice and slow. So that it would slowly brown, just perfectly, and be so puffed up. As soon as I would bite into it, the outside would crunch perfectly and give way to the gooey center.

This event totally inspired this weekend's pancake! I mean just look at it. Even before it was fully baked, it looked so delcious! 

I was trying to find a way to take these pancakes over the top, and make them really taste like a s'more. Obviously, the chocolate cips and marshmallow would do the trick, but I wanted something more. 

So- what makes the s'more crunch, and give it that perfect taste? The graham crackers, of course! 

For an added touch, I tossed some gluten free grahams into my food proccesor, and pulsed them until they were super fine, like a flour almost. Then I combined that with my gluten free baking mixture. 

These tasted delcious. I mean, just like a s'more. Definitely a winner in my book. Now, I just need to figure out how to make the perfect marshmallow sauce to put on top of these. 

Do you have any favorite childhood snacks? I need some more inspiration for next weekend's pancakes! 

Oink, oink. Haylea.
