Dreamy Marshmallow Squares

Original Post on The Great Balancing Act

• 1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1 (300 g) bag butterscotch chips
• 1 (200 g) bag mini marshmallows

Directions:

1. Melt together butter, peanut butter, and butterscotch chips on very low heat until mixed, stirring constantly. Cool for a bit (so as not to melt the marshmallows).
2. Stir in mini marshmallows.
3. Pour in a greased 11″ x 13″ pan.
4. Refrigerate and cut into small (1-1/2″) squares.

Sam’s S’more Cookies

Original Post on Sam Bock Illustration & Design

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 3/4 cup salted sweet butter, softened
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 egg yolk
• 4 sheets reduced-fat honey graham crackers, crushed
• 1/2 cup Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Chips
• Mini-marshmallows (1 to top each cookie)

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°.
2. In a stand mixer, add flour, butter, sugar, vanilla, baking soda, and egg yolk. Let mix until you achieve a breadcrumby consistency.
3. Mix in crushed graham crackers. Batter should still resemble breadcrumbs, but will be able to mold into a ball.
4. Stir in chocolate chips.
5. Put batter in an airtight container and chill for at least thirty minutes.
6. On a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, mold your batter into 1.5″ squares. Put in oven for 4 minutes.
7. Remove cookies from oven, and place one mini-marshmallow on top of each cookie. Put back in the oven for 4 more minutes. The marshmallow tops will start to brown.
8. Remove from oven and let sit for a minute on baking sheet, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Or eat gooey cookie immediately, if you are like me (i.e., super impatient and extra-hungry for cookies).

Enjoy your Thursday friends!
