S'mores Brownies


 It has been such a hot summer that we've barely gotten any use out of our fire pit. My son has been despondent over the lack of s'mores so when I chose my recipes for this year's Summer Dessert Week I had to make sure I included some form of them.

 

These s'mores brownies start by making a graham cracker layer with crumbs, butter, sugar and cinnamon. Press it into a 13x9 baking pan and bake for about 8 minutes. Set it aside to cool.

 

The brownie layer mimics the chocolate bar portion of the treat. I've done from scratch brownies a few times and this version is pretty easy. I wasn't sure about folding in the marshmallows but went with it anyway.

On top of the brownie layer you crumble up some graham crackers and then sprinkle on more marshmallows.  I didn't measure. I just added until it looked like each brownie would have a nice amount of topping.

I was a bit disappointed at the lack of color on the marshmallows when they came out of the oven so I hit them with the kitchen torch. To me it's not really a s'mores dessert until the marshmallow is toasted.

Normally I'd scoff at a recipe saying you can get 2 dozen servings out of a 13x9 but I agree on this one. These are absolutely decadent and you don't need a huge piece to feel satisfied.

    This is a great dessert and I agree, the marshmallows need some toasting. Thank goodness for kitchen torches.

    The double whammy of graham crackers on the bottom and top sounds so good. And all that chocolate goodness with marshmallows on top. Yum!

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home.  I started with the whites of six eggs. You can use pasturized whites if you don't want to do the whole separating, finding a use for the yolks thing.  I beat them up with some salt and pepper.   Next up, the tomato and spinach.  I used grape tomatoes, seeded them and then chopped them into 1/4" pieces. I like baby spinach, and I took about 10 leaves and chopped those up into 1/4" pieces as well. I added that to the egg mixture.  When you pour it into the pans, be sure that it all gets evenly distributed. They bake up pretty quickly, around 9 minutes or so.  Dunkin gives you two egg bites, the mini donut serving size is three. I pop them in ziplocs in the fridge and just pull a bag and reheat them in the microw...

Stuffed Waffles

I wasn't sure I was going to blog these stuffed waffles since it was the first time I tried using the new iron but since I'd already taken the pics as I went I figured, why not? They aren't perfect but they are delicious! I'd seen videos floating around TikTok and Instagram of people making stuffed waffles so I hopped over to Amazon and ordered the Elite Gourmet version.  The instructions were fairly straightforward but there was no recipe so I made up a batch of Classic Waffle batter. Then I scoured the fridge for things to stuff them with.    First up, some leftover taco meat from the previous night and Fiesta blend cheese,  pepperoni and mozzarella cheese and lastly some strawberries and cream cheese.   For the taco stuffed I added the taco meat and cheese in the middle and then set out some salsa and sour cream to top them with.  Learning curve lesson 1- make sure your ingredients are all room temp before you start, they will bake much quicker....

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband. Super simple.  Beat up some eggs with salt and pepper.  Add in some shredded cheddar and a slice of bacon cut into 1/4" pieces (I used kitchen shears).  Bake them for about 9 minutes in sprayed mini donut pans. They baked up light and fluffy.  The bacon stayed crisp and there's just the perfect amount of cheese.   I split them up into portions in zip top bags and that way we can just grab a bag and warm them up. My husband laughed when I told him 3 is the serving size.  I'll definitely be doubling the recipe next time!
