Drummond’s Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter S’mores are so good

Most people only eat s’mores while they’re camping, or when they’re sitting around their backyard fire pit. But Drummond’s Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter S’mores are fully appropriate for winter months, springtime, parties, or anytime you need a sweet treat as a pick-me-up.

The best part of all? They’re easy enough for novices and include ingredients you might already have in your cupboard.

Here’s how to make them, courtesy of Food Network.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter

• 16 graham cracker squares (8 whole rectangular pieces, halved)

• 1/2 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread

• 8 marshmallows

• 1 package white almond bark

• 1 package milk chocolate chips or other melting chocolate

• Decorating suggestions: chopped pistachios, chopped pretzels, rainbow sprinkles, and chocolate sprinkles

Directions:

Start out by spreading peanut butter on one half of each graham cracker square (8 total) and spreading the chocolate hazelnut spread (like Nutella) on the remaining halves. Cook the marshmallows using skewers and the flame from a gas top stove. Place roasted marshmallows between the two graham crackers, one peanut butter side and one hazelnut spread side, to form 8 little sandwiches.

Next, you’ll want to melt the white almond bark and milk chocolate in glass bowls over simmering water. Keep stirring the melted chocolate so it doesn’t harden. Carefully dip the sandwiches into the chocolate and then quickly top with sprinkles or other toppings of choice.

These s’mores are great for parties or movie nights, or even just weekday afternoons.
