Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Espresso S’more.

So I am pretty excited about these Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Espresso S’more

I mean there are sparklers!!

And it’s Friday!! 🙂

And the 4th of July is only ONE week from tomorrow! Wait, what?! How did that happen?

OK, so the sparklers are fun and all, and the fact that today is Friday is pretty awesome too, but what I am really excited about are the flavor bombs going off within these S’mores.

They are truly my favorite ever. Homemade chocolate dipped (and slightly decked out) graham crackers, boozy coffee marshmallows, peanut butter, and milk chocolate.

For reals.

You want to know a funny thing?

I have been wanting to make these since about the end of April. Why did I wait so long?? The sparklers. I just HAD to have sparklers in my s’mores. You see, I had this picture in my head of how these should look and it most definitely included sparklers. I tried SO hard to find the sparklers before Memorial Day, but I just could not find them. I even ordered some online from Amazon. You know what I ended up receiving? A PICTURE of sparklers. Who wants that?

Waa, waa, waa! I literally almost cried.

But I sucked it up and told myself I’d wait for the 4th Of July.

FYI, waiting is not one of my strong points. Like when I realize I want something, I want it now. Yup, just like Veruca Salt from Willy Wonka…”I want it now”.

That’s me…but hopefully a bit nicer??

Maybe. People would argue this.

I did however somehow manage to wait to share these with you until now. And now thinking about it with a clear and rational mind, it’s probably good I did, since I personally could not think of a better 4th Of July dessert.

S’mores are just the classic American summer treat and it would not be the 4th without them.

Of course, everyone knows how to make a classic S’more, so I really wanted to create a super fun adult S’more, full of all the flavors I love.

First off, the homemade graham crackers, WAY better than store-bought, BUT I totally understand if time is not on your side and you just need to use the store-bought grahams. Trust me, I get it.

What you must, must, must make are the coffee marshmallows. They are full of great flavors, coffee, a little coconut, and just a shot…(or two) of Kahlua. Gosh, I love Kahlua. I think it makes for the bestest desserts. It’s optional, but if you have it, use it!

And you guys, do not be afraid of making homemade marshmallows. It’s really so simple and easy. Nothing to stress about, and so worth the effort.

Promise.

I truly cannot express just how good these S’mores are. They are sin-worthy for sure, but seeing as it’s summer and that I really hope you’ll make them for friends and family on the 4th, the sin-worthy part is A-OK.

Everything can be prepped in advance. Just make the graham crackers and marshmallows a day or two before you plan to serve them. Then just roast up some mallows, add a healthy amount of peanut butter and an even healthier amount of Hershey’s Milk or Dark Chocolate, sandwich it all together – and DEVOUR.

You are gonna get a little messy, but that’s just a given with s’mores. Can’t really be avoided, and honestly isn’t sharing messy s’mores with friends and family what makes them so fun? The mess is part of what makes a s’more, a s’more…if you ask me.

AND, I am posting this chocolate-dipped peanut butter espresso s’more, a good week in advance to give you ample time to prepare. This means you better get your butts moving and start planning out your s’more party now.

And then, please, please, please, send me all the photos through social media, or even email if you are not on social media. Bonus points to all who have a little fun with sparklers on their s’mores.

I gotta say that the sparklers pretty much made my week.

I totally felt like a kid again, it was awesome. Sparkles are the best!
