S'mores Crepes

I had never made crepes until today and I see now that it is truly an art. I gave it a good effort; two turned out more like pancakes, but still delicious. What kind of crepes you ask? S'mores of course. To be honest, this recipe is not really for adults. Unless, of course, you have a serious sweet tooth. I filled mine with strawberries, raspberries, and chocolate and it was to die for without the actual diabetic coma. The kids loved the s'mores; of course, you need to pick a day that you can throw caution to the wind, not give a hoot about a "healthy" start to their day and be prepared for the sugar rush that follows because really, it's just dessert for breakfast. So, without further adieu, I give you s'mores crepes:

S'mores Crepes
Prep Time 
10 Min

Cook Time
15 Min

Total Time
25 Min

Yields 
6-8

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 Cup flour
  • 1 1/2 Cup milk
  • 4 Hershey's chocolate bars
  • 2 Cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 Cup graham cracker crumbs
  • Fruit garnish *optional*

Instructions

  1. Using a double boiler or glass bowl over boiling water break up chocolate and begin melting. 
  2. Combine eggs, oil, sugar, flour, and milk in a blender. Blend until completely smooth.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet or greased skillet over medium heat.
  4. Pour a small amount of batter in a circular motion into skillet using a ladle (use the bottom of ladle to smooth batter). Move the pan in a circular motion to coat entire bottom of skillet. Allow batter to cook 30-60 seconds until edges become bubbly and golden brown. 
  5. Slide spatula under edges of crepe to make sure it is ready to flip. Flip and cook additional 30 seconds or until fully cooked. Stack crepes on plate until ready to fill.
  6. On a parchment lined baking sheet lay out marshmallows in single layer. Broil for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until mallows are brown and bubbly. 
  7. Once marshmallows are done, start filling crepes: Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs on bottom, add marshmallows, drizzle with melted chocolate. Fold crepes and top with additional toppings (more chocolate, graham crackers, fruit, whipped cream, etc.)
  8. Enjoy!
Please excuse the photos; the morning was hectic and the  kids were hungry and eager to devour their breakfast, so I just snapped some quick photos with my phone. 



No fancy plates here, just paper. :) I'll do better next time, I promise. 


And, of course, no good day that started with S'mores is complete without a living room camp out. 

Happy Summer!
