We just got back from our cruise yesterday and I'm neck deep in dirty laundry today! It was all worth it, though. Completely worth it. More posts on our adventures to come! On the airplane, flying home, I started looking at my planner and my schedule for this week, and gasped when I realized the 4th of July is just around the corner!
While what I'm sharing today isn't red, white and blue, these S'mores Dipping Squares are the perfect Independence Day treat. Okay, who am I kidding. . .these squares are delicious WHENEVER and WHEREVER you make them. If you can use the microwave, you can make these squares.
I lined a 9x9" pan with foil and covered the bottom of the pan with 9 graham cracker squares. I melted some chocolate in the microwave and spread it over the layer of graham crackers. Then, I microwaved some white chocolate and drizzled it over the chocolate layer.
After about an hour in the fridge, these pre-portioned squares are ready!
My recommendation would be to break the squares apart immediately after you take them out of the fridge. The chocolate breaks nicely and you're less likely to leave fingerprints in the squares.
I'm all about these S'mores Dipping Squares. Did I mention that the campfire is optional? I mean, you can eat these around a campfire, but you certainly don't need one to prepare the squares. You don't need a fire to prepare these caramel apple s'mores treats either!
What you DO need - since this is a s'mores recipe - is the marshmallow! And boy do I have some yummy marshmallow cream for you to dip these little squares into! It's only three ingredients and so simple to make. Easier than the S'mores Dipping Squares, folks.
I mean, how delicious does that look? Ready to watch me dip?
Watch me nae nae. Watch me dip, dip. . .okay, I'll stop. Just watch this.
Yum, I think I could eat this marshmallow cream on just about anything. And you should, too. Try these squares this summer. Those who you share them with will love you for it. Promise.
S'mores Dipping Squares
Ingredients
For the Bars:
- 9 graham cracker squares
- 4 squares semi-sweet baking chocolate
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 squares white chocolate
For the Marshmallow Cream:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
- 7 ounce jar marshmallow fluff
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
For the Bars:
- Line a 9x9 inch baking dish with foil. Arrange the graham crackers on the bottom of the dish.
- Microwave semi-sweet chocolate and peanut butter in a microwaveable bowl for 30 second intervals or until melted.
- Stir well and pour over graham crackers. Use a spatula to spread the chocolate out so it covers the crackers completely.
- Microwave the white chocolate the same way and drizzle over the first chocolate layer. Cut through the chocolate a few times for a marbling effect. If you just want to keep the drizzled look, that's okay too!
- Refrigerate at least an hour. Lift foil out of pan and break bars into original squares. Store tightly covered in the refrigerator.
For the Marshmallow Cream:
- Beat the heavy whipping cream until peaks begin to form. Add the marshmallow fluff and vanilla extract. Continue whipping at high speed until all is combined.
- Dip the graham squares into the marshmallow cream.
Notes
- Even Chocolate Coating: When spreading the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the Graham crackers, ensure it is evenly distributed to cover the entire surface. Using a spatula helps spread the mixture smoothly and evenly, resulting in consistent flavor in every bite.
- Creative Drizzling: Experiment with different drizzling techniques for the white chocolate layer to achieve various visual effects. You can use a fork to create fine lines, a piping bag for precise patterns, or simply drizzle the chocolate in a random fashion for an artistic touch. Get creative and have fun with the design!
- Chill for Firmness: Refrigerating the bars for at least an hour allows the chocolate layers to set and firm up, making them easier to cut into squares. This step also helps the flavors meld together and creates a satisfying texture when biting into the bars. For best results, ensure the bars are fully chilled before serving or dipping into the marshmallow cream.
