Smore's Muffins

Sitting around a campfire with hand carved wooden sticks, roasting marshmallows to golden perfection and sandwiching them between two honey sweetened graham crackers and a layer of chocolate is the quintessence of a perfect summer night.  

As much as I love the act of creating smores, I'm not really sure how I feel about eating them.  I love all of the smore ingredients: graham crackers, chocolate, toasted marshmallows - what's not to like?  I actually prefer to deconstruct my smores to eat them though.  I guess I like to savor each flavor without being muddled together.

Ben and I shared this deconstructed smores ice cream a few weeks ago.  The ice cream experts at "Roll It Up" chopped a whole graham cracker into the vanilla ice cream before they drizzled it with chocolate syrup and rolled it up into these uber creative ice cream rolls.  A couple of toasted marshmallows and a chocolate drizzled graham cracker was all it took to take this ice cream treat from ordinary to extraordinary.

This smore ice cream really got me thinking.  If you can take a smore and transform it into a heavenly frozen treat, what other things can you transform a smore into?  I've made them into cakes and cupcakes but I couldn't help thinking that the chocolate, marshmallow, graham combinations would also make a great muffin.

When sitting around a campfire is not an option, you can always improvise and bake up a batch of smore muffins.  Admittedly, these smore muffins are a little sweeter than your normal breakfast muffin but they're a delicious morning treat.  My plan is to bake a batch another batch of graham cracker muffins without the chocolate and marshmallow.  I'll let you know how they turn out. 

Ciao!
