I spotted a box of homemade graham crackers at the local market and decided it was reason enough to make the fancy s’mores dessert from The Domestic Goddess and use my kitchen torch for the first time. (I’m sorry to say I was too lazy to make my own graham crackers, though that link has the recipe for them.) I used the marshmallow recipe at Cooking For Engineers for the marshmallows:

I think I prefer milk chocolate for s’mores so I used some Fran’s deep milk chocolate — I melted a bit and put some under the marshmallow as well as on top.

They were best when you torch them slowly and let the marshmallow puff up, and if you don’t burn them as much as in this picture. The torch? Very much fun.
