A Recipe for Campfire S’ Mores Pie & Parfait
The Star Wars saga always strives for balance within the force. What better way to balance the “Light Side” Strawberry Ice Cream Pie than with rich dark chocolate? My girls and I had fun using our graham cracker pie crust recipe, our favorite dark chocolate pudding, and freshly toasted marshmallows to make a “Dark Side” Campfire S’ Mores Pie and Parfait Cups. This recipe comes together in a flash, is kid-approved, and tastes amazing!
I couldn’t resist researching the history of S’Mores. It turns out that the first published recipe with the title “Some More” is from 1927 in Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts. It calls for for 16 graham crackers, 8 bars of chocolate, and 16 marshmallows. If you would like to read “some more”, this article from Food and Wine magazine was very interesting!
We used the extra graham crackers, pudding, and marshmallows to create parfait cups! Go ahead embrace the dark side and enjoy both!
