The first time I tried Easy S’mores, Sweet Pizza, I knew that I would love it. It is sweet, delicious, chocolaty, and most definitely a crowd-pleaser.

So, it all started when my son’s girlfriend brought home a similar sweet pizza from our local pizzeria.

Then, I said, I could most definitely make a much better s’ mores pizza and as you see I did.

No, there is no healthy written in any bite that you take, but there is always pure bliss and satisfaction. Trust me on that one.

While many recipes use graham crackers for the crust I went a step further and made my crust from sugar cookies.

Yes, you can use store-bought sugar cookies that you find in your refrigerated section. However, you could make your own as well.

I included a recipe of my homemade sugar cookies in the recipe card just in case.

Anyhow, this one was such a treat. Well, a treat that I am not making often, but is so good every once in a while. If you never tried chocolate graham crackers then you are missing a lot.

They are simply fantastic especially in this Easy S’mores Sweet Pizza. We absolutely loved it!

My kids, as well as my husband, loved it so much that I had to make it the next day again.

Not to brag or anything, I am not much of a cake baker, but some desserts just click with me.

Easy S'mores Sweet Pizza is super simple yet so delicious.

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes

Total Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 package Pillsbury refrigerated sugar cookie dough
• 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
• 1 cup graham crackers, broken in pieces ( I used chocolate)
• 1-2 cups marshmallows (miniature, regular size, or homemade)

Instructions

1. Spread the softened cookie dough into a lightly greased pizza pan or use a silicone mat, flattening it to the edges. Note that the dough will rise a bit while baking like any cookie dough. Baking sheet 12.5 x 9.5 x 1 inch but you could go smaller, although the cookie crust will be thicker. Whatever you prefer.
2. Press handful of chocolate chips into the dough, about 1/2 cup, use more if you wish.
3. Bake at 350 degrees for 7 minutes until it just begins to brown.
4. Remove the cookie from the oven and sprinkle the top with the chocolate chips, graham crackers and marshmallows. Recipe for homemade marshmallows
5. Return the cookie to the oven for an additional 8 minutes until crust is brown and chips and marshmallows are almost melted.
6. Allow cooling slightly before serving. Garnish with more chocolate chips and marshmallows, if desired.

Notes

Homemade Sugar Cookies (Makes 2 smaller pizzas)

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup sugar (Usually you would use 1 cup of sugar, but we are using it for as a crust so I used a bit less)
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon milk

DIRECTIONS

1. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

1. Place butter and sugar in a large bowl of an electric stand mixer and beat until light in colour.
2. Add egg and milk and beat to combine. Put mixer on low speed, gradually add flour, and beat until mixture pulls away from the side of the bowl.
3. Divide the dough in half, wrap in waxed paper, and refrigerate for 2 hours.
4. Remove 1 wrapped pack of dough from refrigerator at a time.
5. Use two parchment papers, plastic wrap or wax paper to roll out dough much easier. This way you do not have to use additional flour or powder sugar to roll out and also it does not stick.

If you told me a couple of years ago that I will make Homemade Classic Marshmallow, I would not believe you.

I always thought I was not talented enough or patient enough to make my own. With that being said, I was not aware of how easy they are to make.

Well, I must admit that ever since my husband surprised me with KitchenAid I have been making all kinds of delicious recipes.

Much like an air fryer, I have no idea how did I ever live this long without these two kitchen gadgets. It is Life-changing!

Anyhow, my family was shocked to learn that I made these beauties. Yes… and I was really proud of myself.

To be honest, I gave myself the challenge to learn some to-go easy desserts this year as well as next. I mean, to have more patience and learn. That is my goal for next year.

What did I learn making homemade Marshmallow?

• You could replace the vanilla extract with a different flavor extract, such as peppermint, almond, lime or lemon, maple, etc.
• After cutting marshmallows into the shape you want, you may dip them in melted chocolate, or drizzle on top.
• You may use cookie cutters or just a sharp knife to cup them. Make sure to coat a knife into the sugar-corn starch mixture to prevent marshmallows from sticking.
• Be patinate! It is a key to successfully make these, on the other hand, you really cannot possibly fail.
• If you wish to add anything in the marshmallows after flavoring with the vanilla extract, fold in mini chocolate chips, cocoa nibs, cinnamon, or your desired mix-in.

What equipment to use:

• Candy Thermometer is a must. This classic thermometer you may use when you make jelly as well as for deep frying.
• Nonstick Bakeware Nonstick Baking Pan With Lid, Rectangle – 9 Inch x 13 Inch. It is fantastic when you pour in your sicky marshmallow mixture to have strength corners and higher sides. Also, the fitted pan lid is always great to have.
• A stand mixer with a whisk attachment is one gadget that makes processes of making marshmallows easier. You turn it on, set an alarm to 13 minutes and wait until the magic happens.

Homemade Classic Marshmallow

Print

Simple and easy homemade classic marshmallow recipe.

Prep Time 30 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Rest Time 4 hours

Total Time 4 hours 40 minutes

Ingredients

Blooming Gelatin

• 3 packages unflavored gelatin (one envelope of powdered gelatin (about 1/4 ounce/7g)
• 1/2 cup (4oz/118ml) iced cold water

Sugar Syrup

• 1/2 cup (4oz/118ml) iced cold water
• 10 ounces (1.4 cup/283g) granulated sugar
• 1 cup (12oz/340g) light corn syrup
• Pinch of salt

Coating

• 3/4 cup (85g) powdered sugar, more if needed
• 3/4 cup (85g) cornstarch, more if needed

Additional

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• Oil for greasing a pan

Equipment

• Heavy-duty saucepan
• Heavy-duty flat rubber-silicone spatula
• Mini sieve or similar
• Stand Mixer with the whisk attachment or
• one large bowl with an electric mixer
• Rectangular pan, preferably 13 by a 9-inch metal baking pan
• Candy Thermometer

Instructions

Blooming Gelatin

1. Combine the gelatin with 1/2 cup of the cold water in the bowl of a stand mixer with a whisk attachment.

Sugar Syrup

1. Combine the remaining 1/2 cup water, the granulated sugar, corn syrup and salt in a heavy-duty saucepan. Place over medium-high heat, cover and allow to cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
2. Uncover, clip a candy thermometer onto the side of the pan and continue to cook until the mixture reaches 240F (115 degrees C), approximately 8 minutes.
3. So, when the sugar mixture reaches 240F, remove from the heat right away.

Marshmallow Process

1. Turn the mixer fitted with the whisk attachment to low speed then while running, slowly pour the hot sugar syrup down the side of the bowl into the gelatin.
2. Once you have added all of the syrup, increase the mixer the highest speed. Continue to whip until the mixture becomes very thick and is lukewarm, approximately 13 to 15 minutes.
3. Add the vanilla at the last minute of whipping. 
4. Combine the powdered sugar and cornstarch in a small bowl. Lightly apply vegetable oil and brush on or use a kitchen paper towel to add the oil a 13 by a 9-inch metal baking pan with vegetable oil. Add the sugar and cornstarch mixture in an empty sugar shaker, sifter, mini sieve or fine strainer and move around to completely coat the bottom and sides of the pan. Return the remaining mixture to the bowl for later use. Shake a pan to coat with sugar and cornstarch mixture everywhere even on the side pf the baking pan.
5. When it is ready, pour the mixture into the prepared pan, using a lightly oiled spatula for spreading evenly when you transfer it into the pan. Generously dust the top with enough of the remaining sugar and cornstarch mixture to lightly cover. Reserve the rest for later.
6. Allow the marshmallows to sit uncovered for at least 4 hrs to set or overnight. If you could wait, they are the best if you leave them overnight.
7. Turn the marshmallows out onto a cutting board and cut into about 1-inch squares (they could be bigger or smaller) using a knife dusted with the powdered sugar mixture.
8. Once cut, lightly dust all sides of each marshmallow with the remaining mixture, using additional if necessary, of course. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
9. Eat responsibly!

Notes

• You may add other flavors and colors to the classic marshmallow.
• Each pouch of unflavored gelatin will gel 2 cups (500mL) of liquid and up to 1 1/2 (375mL) cups of solids.
• You could make this using one large bowl with an electric mixer with appropriate attachment but it will take some time so be prepared to mix for at least 13 minutes.
• Blooming Gelatin: It involves sprinkling the powdered gelatin into a liquid and letting it sit for about 5 minutes.

No-Bake Chocolate Almond Butter RITZ Bars are easy, tasty and fantastic to serve over the holiday season.

I have made this type of no-bake bar many times. What I love about this recipe is how versatile it is.

You can switch the nut butter you use, of course, to satisfy your taste buds, and use crushed pretzels instead of raw almonds.

It is all about creating your own tasty holiday RITZ bar and using your imagination to the fullest extent. 

I partnered with RITZ Crackers to create a recipe that would be excellent for the holidays. I realized that I have never posted this rather charming dessert that my family and friends surely love.

Since I have three teenagers, RITZ Crackers are always in my pantry.

 Thankfully we have family size crackers in stores these days, so it is like buying in bulk, which I favor.

To be honest, I really like it because I can create quick bites, pack them in my kid’s lunch box, add an addition for a charcuterie board, or make a dessert using RITZ Crackers.

These No-Bake Chocolate Almond Butter RITZ Bars are perfect for holiday entertaining.

Not too sweet, swift to make, packed with great quality ingredients, and if I may add very delicious.

I urge all you, moms and dads, or grandparents to grab a box or two over the holiday season.

Create mindful memories by making your own RITZ recipe with your beautiful kids and grandkids.
