Foodie Friday: French Toast S'mores

 photo smore french toast-9_zpsagkaxfxk.png

My husband and I watch the Food Network and Cooking Channel every weekend morning. I'm aware that a study has been released that those who watch cooking shows tend to put on more weight (due to snacking during the show and attempting to cook what they see). I guess we are those doers, but only occasionally. Like this past Sunday....We feel victims to one of Brunch at Bobby's recipes, S'more French Toast. I mean the guy had me at Nutella and marshmallows. After watching him prepare his dish I turned to my husband and said "I'm making that!" I kept my word and made him brunch on Sunday morning. Okay I can't take all the credit, the husband did help...

Ingredients:
- Graham Crackers (we used Honey Maid original)
- Brioche Bread (sliced thick)
- 2 Eggs
- 3 quarters a cup of Milk 
- Nutella 
- small Marshmallows 
- dash of Vanilla extract 
- tablespoon of butter
- a tablespoon of water

Steps:

1. Crush graham crackers, leaving some bigger pieces, on a cookie sheet. Spread out.
2. Slice your Brioche Bread into thick slices.
3. To make your egg wash use: 2 eggs, 3 quarters a cup of milk, a dash of vanilla, and a tablespoon of water. Whisk together. 
4. Lightly dip your Brioche Bread into your egg wash, then into your graham crackers. Coat both sides of your brioche bread with the graham crackers.
5. Over medium heat, place a tablespoon of butter into a big pan. Let it grease the bottom of the pan.
6. Place your coated Brioche Bread into the pan. You want your graham crackers to get nice and toasty on each side. 
7. Once toasted place onto a baking sheet. Spread your Nutella on top then place marshmallows. Add as much or as little as you like. 
8. Take your marshmallow covered toast and place into the broiler. You want to get your marshmallows nice and brown. KEEP AN EYE ON THEM!
9. Once the marshmallows are toasted, plate and ENJOY!

These were SUGAR OVERLOAD...but in a good way. We made two slices each for ourselves and could not finish them. This dish is dense so bring your A game to brunch. This meal is really fun especially if you have kids, great for the morning after a sleep over party!

Would you serve these up for brunch?

After eating a bunch of meat and cheeses at the little picnic my husband and I threw for ourselves we both wanted some sweets. So we decided to hit the grocery store to whip something easy up.
Baking aisle brainstorming: pre-made graham cracker crust, fudge brownie mix, and marshmallows...BAM Brownie S'mores!

What you need:
- Brownie Mix + what the brownie mix calls for
- Small Marshmallows
- Pre-made Graham Cracker Crust (we used two 6 packs of Keebler Mini Graham Cracker Crust)

Instructions: 
1. Preheat your oven to the temperature of what your brownie mix calls for.
2. Mix your brownie mix together.
3. Once you have your brownie mix ready to go, fill your graham cracker crust up a little more then half way.
4. Once all filled, place into the oven to bake. Follow the time on your box but remove about 10 to 5 minutes before fully cooked.
5. Take brownies out before fully cooked and sprinkle on top your marshmallows. Place back in the oven until cooked/marshmallows are golden brown.
**OPTIONAL** Instead of taking the brownies out before they are cooked let them fully cook. Take out of oven and sprinkle marshmallows on top. Place in broiler until marshmallows are golden brown.
6. Enjoy the ooie-gooey yumminess!

Foodie Friday: Easy Brownie S'mores

November 6, 2011

Urbanite S'more

This past weekend the boyfriend and I hosted an After Halloween Halloween Party mostly because we didn't get to celebrate Halloween last weekend so we figured we'd invite a few of our closest friends and make some yummy snacks....One being my urbanite version of the s'more! Because really living in apartment you don't get to do a lot of things like roast marshmallows or make s'mores. Anyway these babies are so easy to make and it's all the same ingredients that you would need for actual s'mores!

What you need:
- Jumbo Marshmallows
- Hersey chocolate bars (I like the King size ones)
- Graham crackers
- a pot
- Glass bowl that will sit on top of your pot
- cookie sheet
- bowl
- wax paper.
- Food processor OR a potato masher :)

Step 1. Grab a cookie sheet and lay over some wax paper over it. This will be your cooling rack and can go right in the fridge when you're done.

Step 2. Smash up some graham crackers. There's two way to go about this the easiest is if you have a food processor to just ground up so graham crackers but if you're like me a bowl and a potato masher will do. Grab a bowl and a couple of crackers. Put the crackers in the bowl and take your potato mashers and rock back and forth crunching up your crackers. They should be almost like a powder crust or small chunks.


Step 3. Boil water in a pot. Once your water is boiling set a bowl that is big enough to sit on top of the pot. Put your chocolate in the bowl so that it will start melting. Once your chocolate starts to melt you can take a spoon and stir it. This will help from getting chunk.


Step 4. This is the fun part! Once your chocolate is melted take your jumbo marshmallows and dip the bottom half in the chocolate then dip them in the graham cracker and set them on the cookie sheet! 


Step 5. Once you have all your marshmallows done stick them in the fridge so that the chocolate hardens up and that the graham crackers really stick on there. 

For a little something extra if you want to add a bit of flare put a lit tooth pick in them so that they look like skewers! 


Nothing says Halloween like a table full of treats!!! 

And now I leave you with a picture of my boyfriend (dressed up like Duffman from the Simpson) and I
