Scarlet S’more

Ingredients

Marshmallow Fluff
Graham Crackers
Hershey’s Chocolate Bar

Instructions

Place 2 graham crackers on a napkin then place pieces of the chocolate bar on one side of the cracker.   Line the other cracker with a dollop (or two) of Fluff. Place the two crackers together (like you are making a sandwich).  Place in the microwave and let it heat up for less than 30 seconds.  Depending upon the strength of your microwave watch closely.  It doesn’t take long.  The Fluff will expand (allot!)  Remove once the Fluff has expanded and the chocolate has partly melted.  It should be warm to the touch.

This gooey CONcoction is quick, easy and (above all) super yummy.  It will have you coming back for s’more!

Fun fact: marshmallow creme is also used in Arabic cuisine, dating back to the tenth century!
