S'mores In The Toaster Oven -- Totally Works!!

It's ridiculous......but it's been on my mind constantly.

Our good friends Brian and Andrea came over for dinner a few weeks ago and we were talking about s'mores (they have perfected a technique). Andrea casually mentioned "I wonder if you could make them in the toaster oven". For some reason that comment stuck to me like glue and I've been thinking about s'mores in the toaster oven ever since. Today in the grocery store I headed down the baking isle for brown sugar....but came across the marshmallows first. I caved...I bought a pack....and a big ol Hershey bar. (riding the high of my impending s'mores making project I completely forgot to get brown sugar, but oh well).

So, I'm home, X is napping, and I try it out. Success! I put in the bottom graham, chocolate, and 2 marshmallows. I left out the top graham cracker since things were getting pretty tall in my fairly small toaster oven, and added that on at the end. Once cycle through and the chocolate was melted, the marshmallows were toasted, and I was one happy camper eating this gooey mess while standing over the sink. It was pure heaven!

Now, I wouldn't go as far as to say that it beats campfire s'mores, because there is nothing better than the original. But, for a quick fix on a weekday afternoon I'd say the toaster oven came through for me. This could be dangerous!
