In case you missed it, Saturday was National S’more Day, an annual celebration of one of the most delicious summertime staples. With that in mind, this SacFoodie sought out an interesting twist on an old favorite with this fun “I Want S’more Muffins” recipe from Taste of Home.
The recipe says it makes six s’more muffins. Be prepared to fill the tins generously and risk overflow on the edges or just plan on making seven. After baking mine for nearly the full time (16 minutes), I found that the marshmallow creme toasted nicely in the oven, creating that fresh-from-the campfire taste. During the taste test, my husband I and I also discovered that the crème separated the muffins into pieces, which while delicious, was not ideal. If I did this recipe again, I would replace the creme with mini marshmallows.
Fresh from the oven!
