Mini S'mores Cup Cookies...

Mmmmm, sweet smells are filling up my kitchen this week! With only two weeks until Christmas...I've got a lot of baking to do, so I thought I'd share another one of my favorite little treats with you. This is an amazing Pampered Chef recipe I came across recently and it makes the perfect gift to take to a Christmas "Cookie Exchange Party". They're quick and easy and you'll be the biggest hit at the party....

S'more Cups

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place graham crackers into a large resealable plastic bag. Finely crush into crumbs. Combine graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and butter in a small bowl.
Place 1 tablespoon of crumb mixture in each cup of a mini muffin pan. Press crumbs to form shallow cups. Bake 4-5 minutes or until edges are bubbling. Meanwhile, break two of the candy bars into rectangles. Remove pan from oven; place one rectangle into each cup.

Cut marshmallows in half crosswise using shears dipped in cold water. Place one marshmallow half, cut-side down, into each cup. Return to oven 1-2 minutes or until marshmallows are slightly softened. Remove pans from oven to cooling rack; cool 15 minutes. Carefully remove cups from pan. Cool completely.
Break remaining candy bars and place in small microwavable bowl. Microwave on high 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until melted and smooth, stirring every 20 seconds. Dip the top of each marshmallow in melted chocolate. Turn top-side up and let stand 40 to 60 minutes or until set. Makes 24 cups.

Note: Store the cups in a single layer in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Freezing is not recommended. For a richer chocolate flavor, substitute dark chocolate candy bars for the milk chocolate.


WARNING:  THESE YUMMY LITTLE GUYS ARE HIGHLY ADDICTIVE....
TRY NOT TO EAT THEM ALL BEFORE YOU GET TO THE PARTY, OKAY?   {wink}
