• Sittin' Around the Campfire, It's Time to Make: S'More Shooters

  

  NOTE: NOT FOR CHILDREN.

  Found on Recipe Zaar
  
  I have made these for my family for a few Christmases now, and they have always greatly enjoyed the shooters. They still ask for these every year!
  
  Make them for your family! Whether they taste the shooters at Christmastime or while sitting around a campfire this summer, they'll be sure to enjoy them too! Who would have thought: s'mores in a drink with alcohol! Genius! :)

  
  Ingredients:

  • 12 large marshmallows
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 8 ounces best-available-quality bittersweet chocolate, chopped into teeny-weeny bits
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 3/4 cup Amaretto
  • 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs

  Directions

  1. 
     Toast marshmallows over a campfire or stovetop until golden brown; let cool and reserve.
  2. 
     In a small pot, bring half-and-half to a boil.
  3. 
     In a medium bowl, add chocolate; pour cream over chocolate and stir until chocolate has fully melted.
  4. 
     Return chocolate ganache to the pot and whisk in milk.
  5. 
     Over medium heat, bring to a simmer and stir in 1/2 cup of amaretto.
  6. 
     Pour remaining amaretto into a small bowl so that it is 1/4 inch deep and place graham cracker crumbs on a small saucer 1/4 inch deep.
  7. 
     To assemble, dip the rims of each shot glass in amaretto, then in the graham cracker crumbs.
  8. 
     Fill glasses with hot chocolate and top each with a toasted marshmallow (make your life easier by transferring the hot chocolate first to a measuring cup with a spout).

  What are your favorite alcoholic beverages? Would you be willing to try these s'more shooters?
