S’more s’mores
Updated versions of the classic s'mores of childhood
Everyone loves the classic s’mores of childhood. But now that we’re older and have the patience to toast our marshmallows to a perfectly crisp, tan shell and gooey interior (no carbonized sugar lumps for us, please), we decided to sandwich them with these updated combinations.
Black forest: Chocolate wafer cookies and cherry jam
The Elvis: Peanut-butter sandwich cookies (twist cookies into two halves), dark or milk chocolate, and sliced bananas
Gianduja: Gaufrette, wafer, or pizelle-style cookies and chocolate-hazelnut spread (Nutella)
Lemon meringue pie: Shortbread cookies and lemon curd
Neoclassic: Digestive biscuits and squares of bittersweet chocolate
Piña colada: Coconut cookies and grilled slices of fresh pineapple
Prefab: Purchased chocolate-topped butter cookies (such as Petit Ecolier)
Thin mint: Chocolate wafer cookies and thin after-dinner mints (such as After Eight)
