I love marshmallows. They know.

OS, I picked up three bags of kosher-for-passover marshmallows when they were available because corn-free marshmallows are like unicorns that were raised by dragons to me.

And then I put them in a cupboard because what the hell am I going to do with marshmallows, eat them? It's been way too hot for hot chocolate or toasting over an open fire. What else are they good for?

According to America's Test Kitchen, making S'mores Bars.

So today I ground up graham crackers in the food processor and melted up some chocolate ganache and layered everything in a pan and popped it under a broiler where it promptly caught fire. [I am, BTW, disappointed in ATK for not warning me about this possibility] So I've got what are, I am sure, lovely s'mores bars coated in a thin top layer of carbon.

Sigh.

Salvageable?

Hells yeah!

A little burnt just makes them authentic imho.

I don't know - they're rather a lot burned. But I have yet to be able to pry one out of the pan (that is not ATK's fault, I blithely failed to follow directions there) so the question may be moot.

Got them extracted from the pan and cut into square! And they are . . . okay. You have to let them cool before you can cut them and that detracts a lot from the essential s'more-ness, I'm afraid.

But I have learned from this batch and the next one will be s'more-ier.
