mission: s'mores bomb recipe

with the holidays just around the corner, here is a recipe from the buick discovery tour for you to try out! i will definitely be give it a go...and i will let you know how it goes when i do make them!

ben roche's s'mores bomb

the recipe is made up in 3 parts.

graham cracker puree
3 cups whole milk
2 packages graham crackers, crushed
2 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 teaspoons salt

put all ingredients in a high speed blender, blend until mixture is warm (about 2 minutes) let puree chill in refrigerator. when puree is cold, pour it into ice cube trays and freeze. once frozen, remove "ice cubes" from tray and keep in freezer until you're ready to dip them into chocolate.

marshmallow wick
1 bag of sweet potato starch "glass noodle" style dried noodle (available at most asian ingredient specialty stores)

place dried noodle in microwave for 40 seconds. the noodle will puff up. break noodles into 1 1/2 inch lengths and reserve until serving.

chocolate shell
4 to 6 oz of dark chocolate
1 oz cocoa buter (optional)

chop chocolate and cocoa butter, melt together in microwave until fully melted. chocolate is ready for dipping.

how to dip frozen graham cracker puree

use and 4 to 5 in wooden skewer to stick into top of ice cube. completely submerge ice cube in the chocolate, stirring it around a few time to make sure it is fully covered. tap off excess chocolate back into melted chocolate. place dipped cube on a tray lined with parchment paper, plastic wrap, or nonstick mat, and hold in place until chocolate solidifies enough at the base to hold it upright. remove wooden skewer. allow to "defrost in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving. storie in fridge until ready to serve.

serving
place one wick in the hole in top of the bomb. burn tip and let wick burn, approximately 10-15 seconds. once the flame goes out, eat the entire chocolate in one bit (it will be completely liquid inside)

makes 40 servings.

so, the burnt wick gives the bomb that toasty campfire flavor you get when you roast marshmallows. it really is a wonderful treat, even though it may be a bit time consuming. but if you think about it, so can making and frosting all those sugar cookies you make every year!

hope you enjoy the recipe...you won't be disappointed with it!

this is beth signing off.
