Peanut Butter Cocoa Krispies Smores Bars

Peanut Butter Cocoa Krispies Smores Bars
I haven’t had real, good old-fashioned smores that are made over a campfire in far too long. Like about twenty years, give or take, but who’s counting. The last time I roasted marshmallows over a campfire was when I was a Girl Scout. I have memories of being too impatient to wait for the marshmallows to toast evenly and instead, I would intentionally dip my wooden stick, with splinter-filled marshmallows speared on it, directly into the flames. The marshmallows would ignite, char, and then I’d blow out the flaming charcoal black blobs of hot molten sugar, previously known as marshmallows. Then I’d promptly smoosh the charred marshmallows in between stale graham crackers, courtesy of the Minnesota summer humidity. Finally, I’d set a couple jagged-edge squares of chalky, tasteless Hershey’s’ milk chocolate on top of the charred marshmallows, top it with another stale graham cracker, and bite into the gooey, charry, chalky mess and proclaim it to be the best thing I ate all summer.

Why Make Your Own Though Girl Scout cookies boxes say “trans-fat free,” the term is officially defined by the FDA as a food that contains less than 0.5 grams of trans fat per serving, meaning some varieties — including uber-popular Thin Mints, Samoas and Tagalongs — still contain trace amounts of the fat.

Nutella-Filled Lamingtons April 13, 2012 | Print | E-mail | Filed under cake, chocolate, nutella Though we definitely had plenty of Easter desserts – including these cookies, frosted sugar cookies that my mom made, strawberry charlotte that my mother-in-law made, and a banana cream pie, I had one more to make. My sister requested lamingtons for her birthday, and since that was back in March, I decided that Easter was the perfect time to make them since we’d all be there to celebrate (and, because you can never have too much dessert)! After last year’s butterbeer cake and the puffle cake from the year before that, I thought these sophisticated little coconut cakes were the perfect way to celebrate my little sister’s special day. And, since the two of us are just a little bit obsessed with nutella, I just had to use that as the filling. I adapted the sponge cake and frosting recipes from David Lebovitz’s; the resulting cakes were perfection in my book, and my sister agreed.

As with all bread recipes, you may need to slightly adjust the flour or water during the mixing and kneading process.
