The S'moreo
Don't you hate it when you come up with a great idea only to realize that its already been done by someone else? That's what happened to me with the s'moreo.
You see, I opened my kitchen cabinet one day recently to notice a half-finished package of Oreo cookies sitting next to a couple Hershey's chocolate bars that I had left over from when I made my s'mores quesadilla. Immediately a thought popped into my head. Why not make some s'mores using Oreo cookies instead of graham crackers?
After a quick Google search I realized that quite a few people had already come up with the exact same idea, right down to the clever "s'moreo" name. I originally planned on scrapping the idea completely, but then I thought again about how good a s'moreo sounded and decided to make a few anyway. Boy am I glad I did!
Long story short, Oreo cookies are the perfect substitute for graham crackers when it comes to making s'mores. First off, they seem to soften up a little more than graham crackers when you heat them, so whereas a graham cracker will often break when you bite into it (leaving you with crumbs all over yourself and/or melted marshmallow and chocolate stuck to your fingers) this isn't the case with s'moreos.
Second, they're smaller, which provides a perfect cookie to marshmallow to chocolate ratio. Will these two factors cause me to permanently switch from traditional s'mores to s'moreos? It's hard to say, but it's definitely nice to know that there's an alternative out there!
I must know what kind of marshmallows you're using here. It almost looks like they're little flat "sandwich cut" marshmallows, or did you do that yourself?
I actually bought them like that! They make flat marshmallows that are made just for s'mores! They rule!
where on earth do u find them flat marshmallows
I think I actually got them at Target, but they're seriously the best for making s'mores!
I've seen them at some WalMarts, over by the other marshmallows. Just look around; you'll find 'em eventually. 😀
I would use Golden Oreos.
I've actually never even heard of Golden Oreos until I Googled them just now but those would work perfectly for s'moreos!
I now know what I was put on this earth to do. HELLO NEW WEEKEND PLANS!!!!!!
Mm all these ideas just make me so hungry! Dying to go buy some of these ingredients and try out these snacks now.
Nice! I just discovered the combination of pineapples, cream cheese and potato chips. Try it. SO awesome. I'm glad to see I'm not the only crazy food combiner out there.
I'll have to try it out! Thanks for the suggestion!
Going to have to make this dessert to cap the weekend
Did you put these in the oven or microwave? Looks yummy!
I don't really remember since it was so long ago, but either way would work just fine I'm sure.
