Pound Cake S’Mores

With Labor Day fast approaching and the summer camping season coming to an end I wanted to recreate one of my kids favorite camping foods, S’mores!  They just love sitting around the campfire roasting the marshmallows and sandwiching them in between graham cracker layers with Hershey’s chocolate nestled in between, slowly melting from the heat of the marshmallow.  I think that is the favorite part for any kid of a camping trip.  These Pound Cake S’Mores are nice alternative to your typical s’more.

I wanted to give these S’mores a bit of an adult twist with the addition of Godiva Chocolate Liquor should you choose to do so.  They are just as delicious without it though.  The soft cakey texture of the grilled pound cake adds some depth to this old camping favorite.

This is camping comfort food at its best but the great thing about this recipe is you do not have to spend hours packing/unpacking and setting up a big fire to enjoy them.  You can literally make these on your grill at home with much less hassle and mess.

Ingredients:

• 1 loaf of Pound Cake, sliced
• 15-20 large Marshmallows
• 8oz Dark Chocolate Chips
• 1Tb Godiva Chocolate Liquor (optional)
• 2 Tb Heavy Cream
• Caramel Sauce

Directions:

Heat a grill pan to medium high heat.

Slice the pound cake into 1-inch-thick slices, you should get about 12 slices out of the loaf.

Once the pan is hot grill the pound cake slices until lightly browned.

To prepare the chocolate sauce set a burner on very low and place a small saucepan on the burner.  Add in the dark chocolate chips, Heavy Cream and Godiva Liquor (if using).  Carefully melt the mixture stirring constantly until nice and creamy.

Roast the marshmallows to taste over an open flame or grill.

Spread the chocolate mixture over each piece of grilled pound cake and top with a roasted marshmallow.

Drizzle Caramel sauce over the pound cake s’mores just before serving.
