Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, 2 tbsp heavy cream, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, stirring continuously until smooth and glossy; remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Toast 6 halved large marshmallows over an open flame or broiler until golden brown and slightly melted inside, about 1-2 minutes per side; then chop roughly to create toasted marshmallow cream.
  3. Step 3: Spread 2 tbsp softened unsalted butter evenly on one side of each of the 4 bread slices.
  4. Step 4: Place 2 bread slices butter-side down on a preheated skillet over medium heat. Quickly spread half of the melted chocolate mixture evenly on each slice, then sprinkle the toasted marshmallow cream over the chocolate.
  5. Step 5: Top each with the remaining bread slices, butter-side up, and grill for 3-4 minutes per side until the bread is golden brown and the fillings are warm and gooey.
  6. Step 6: Remove sandwiches from skillet, let cool for 2 minutes, then slice in half and serve immediately for a gooey, smoky s'mores treat.
