It’s September which means for some, cooler camping season has started. Which means smores! I never camped as a kid, but fall meant bonfires and bonfires meant smores. So I whipped together some smore scones to fill my life with smore goodness without the outdoor bugs.
My boyfriend actually loves camping and will be making me camp soon, so out into the world of bugs I go. I’m really excited about it though. Four days cut off from work emails and the internet and computers. It’ll be a good change for my life, and one I really could use right now.
But let’s talk about these scones. I’ve really been on a scones kick. It’s a weird kick to be on, but I mean, let’s make everything into a scone and eat them forever. Man, remember those blueberry, lemon, lime, mint scones? I want to eat those every day forever. But these? These are just as delicious. They’re way more desserty then the blueberry and mimosa scones, but that’s probably because these are covered in marshmallow frosting and full of chocolate.
Here’s how to make them. You baggy up 1/3 of a packet of graham crackers, I think that’s about 3 crackers.
Then you take a heavy object and smash them all up.
Then combine you dough, but just before you incorporate everything all the way, while it’s still pretty lumpy, add in all your add ins.
Then mix them just until combined and pat it out into an 8″ circle.
Slice, bake, cool, top with marshmallow frosting.
Drizzle with melted chocolate
Eat. Eat all the smores scones. Don’t even tell people you made smores scones because you’re just going to eat them all in one sitting. And don’t worry, I won’t judge you and the world won’t judge you. There’s no judgement in smores.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 7 tbsp unsalted butter, frozen, grated
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup full fat plain greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 3-4 smashed)
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 3/4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1?8 tsp salt
- 1.5 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400
- In a large bowl combine sugar, flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda and stir to combine. Add the butter and use your hands or a pastry cutter to work in the butter until your mixture resembles coarse corn meal - it's okay if it's not totally evenly mixed. Fold in the sugar/zest mix.
- In another bowl, whisk together the egg and yogurt. Add it to the dry ingredients and mix until it begins to come together, but isn't fully combined.
- Add the graham cracker crumbs, marshmallows, and chocolate chips and stir until a ball of dough forms (don't mix too much, you just want it to pull together). The ball will be sticky.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment and turn the dough onto the parchment. Form an 8 inch round and use a sharp knife to cut it into 8 pieces, like you would a pizza).
- Bake at 400F for 18-25 minutes - check on them and don't take them out until the top is browned, even if it goes over 25 minutes. The edges will brown sooner, but you want a nice crust to form to fully achieve the delicious bite and crumb. If you poke the center, it should feel firm, like if you poke the palm of you hand, rather than springy like a cake.
- Take out of the oven and recut them and let cool on a wire cooling rack
- Mix sugar, vanilla, and salt in a bowl. Melt butter and 2 tbsp water in a 2-qt. nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add marshmallows; stir until completely melted, 1–2 minutes. Whisk into sugar mixture.
- Spoon the glaze onto each scone, or dip each scone into the glaze. Allow it to set for 10 minutes.
- Melt your chocolate in the microwave by microwaving for 30 seconds, stirring, then microwaving in 15 second intervals until fully melted. Drizzle the chocolate over the scones.
- Eat and enjoy!
Kathleen, these look delicious! On my list to try! 😀 How long do they take total to make?
They only take like 15ish minutes to mix up and like 20-30 to bake? They’re done within the hour! About how long it takes to eat them!
