Animal S'mores Class

 I am finally venturing into having character marshmallows as class material! I have stayed away from making marshmallows because to me, they were nothing more than candies with single flavour and texture profile. But when it comes to marshmallows as part of S'mores, it is a different thing altogether! When eaten freshly toasted, S'mores are an explosion of flavours, textures and aroma! The lightly spiced sweet and salty soft Graham cracker, topped with rich chocolate, followed by sweet toasted marshmallows that are crisp and caramelised on the outside, soft and gooey on the inside.... Mmmm-Mmmm!! I am not a fan of sweets but this is really good and addictive!



The second picture shows before and after toasting the S'mores. The caramel flavour is more intense when it is this browned! 

We will be making all the components of S'mores from scratch. The cracker, chocolate layer and animal marshmallows. Marshmallows typically takes some time to set and require a bed of cornstarch and/or powdered sugar as base for piping and dusting. The marshmallows in this class will be piped directly on the chocolate covered cracker and on a bed of cornstarch. We won't be toasting the S'mores in class as it needs an overnight set before toasting. Enjoy it at home when you are ready to eat them! 

Here are more pictures of the animal S'mores that I made where the marshmallows have not been toasted yet.
