This week's Something Yummy for My Colonel's Tummy is
another delicious treat I found here while looking on Pinterest.
Don't you love Pinterest?
I shared the following picture on Facebook yesterday as a tease for today's post...
Smores Cupcakes
Ingredients:
7 whole graham crackers (1 cup finely crushed)
1/4 cup powdered sugar
6 tablespoons butter, melted
4 bars (1.55 oz each) milk chocolate candy, divided
12 large marshmallows
Combine the graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar and melted butter...
Place 1 tablespoon of the crumb mixture into the bottom of a cupcake pan.
Press the crumbs into the pan to make little cups.
Press the crumbs into the pan to make little cups.
I used liners, the original recipe doesn't call for them, but I really hate messes...
Bake at 350 for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the edges are bubbly.
Meanwhile, break up the chocolate, try NOT to eat any...
Remove the pan from the oven and place one square
of chocolate into each cup and then place one
marshmallow on top of the chocolate...
Return pan to the oven to cook for a few minutes or until
the marshmallow begins to soften and the chocolate has melted.
I had to "help" the marshmallow flatten...
Remove from pan and let cool completely.
Now, the original recipe says to "dip" the tops in chocolate,
but I really thought these were sweet enough so I just drizzled the chocolate on top...
These were so EASY to put together!
Do you have any plans for the weekend?
The Colonel has his monthly drill and leaves tomorrow.
The kids and I will be attending a college graduation/engagement party
of a friend at church.
AND
I hope to continue experimenting with my Mother's Day gift...
ENJOY your day and your weekend!

My family is crazy about smores and these look so simple to make and yummy! Love your Mother's Day present. I have one of those on my wish list :)
Oh my! Don't let Mayor Bloomberg see these. He might get on a campaign to outlaw them in NYC! :-)
Good morning! These look really good. I know my grands would LOVE them, and they look easy enough...perfect for them to make with me. Hope you have a good week-end.
Pray for me if you think about it. I am having a test done on Mon. and I have to "prep" for it on Sun. I am DREADING the whole thing...such a baby.

You have a sweet tooth that matches mine, Lois!
This is a big weekend here in the UK for the Queen's 60th Jubilee celebrations. We'll go see fireworks and also the Olympic torch passes through our town on Monday which is a national holiday!
Enjoy your weekend!
Those look really good :)
Love your Mother's Day gift, it's actually on my wish list as well LOL
YUM! How easy and fun! I would have to buy extra chocolate to make these, though...you always should test a LOT of it beforehand to make sure it's not poisonous or has gone bad, etc.
They look fantastic!
You and the colonel sure maintain nice trim figures for people who get such yummy things to eat! I wish I could. Those look good!

Now those look so yummy. I will have to try that soon! I love your Mother's Day gift. I would really like one :) We are going to have a low key weekend as my hubby will be on call so we can't go far or get too committed to something.
Those sound so good. I have to pass on them though... darn it anyway.
The only plans I have for this weekend is heading to a community sale that friends of ours are having.
Have a GREAT weekend Lois
Okay my grandson is going to LOVE these. Thanks. sandie
Oh Lois, this looks so good! We love to make s'mores when we have the firepit going. I'll be trying this for sure. Thanks!
Have a great weekend!
These look delicious. I'll pass along the recipe to my sis for her grands. Enjoy the weekend, Lois.
I really need to get my fire pit going so I can make smores...thanks for this recipe.
My weekend started with a Bingo Benefit for our volunteer fire department, today babysitting a friend's children, tonight an auction and tomorrow...REST! after church.
These look YUMMY! I can see serving these cupcakes at our next block party or after grilling by the pool.
Thank you for sharing!
I came over from Weekend Potluck to get this great looking recipe. I will be visiting my great-grandson in a couple of weeks, and I think it would be fun to make these. I am a new follower on GFC. Paysu
