A nostalgic summer-time treat that can be enjoyed year round thanks to your indoor oven!

S'mores have long been a favorite treat of mine. They were one of the first things I learned to make as a kid. Slowly and carefully roasting them in a rotisserie art sort of way over the hot coals of campfire during the summer. Then in the winter over the coiled burner of an electric stovetop, and at times I may have even settled for a melted marshmallow quick zapped in the microwave to make them.

One method many of us have been missing out on is this simple broiled option on a baking sheet. And might I add toasting the marshmallow on two sides of course not just one as other guides have shown.

There are many things to love about this simple oven method of making s'mores. You'll get the same golden brown toasted goodness without being campfire cooked, you still get that ooey gooey fluffy melty marshmallow sweetness along with its pairing of rich luxurious chocolate, and crisp honey kissed graham crackers to hold it all together.

And bonus, you can make many at once versus making one or two on a roasting stick! I've listed out 6 servings but make up to 12 at time if you'd like.

These are perfect for when the cravings strike without all the hassle of packing up and venturing into the outdoors to build a campfire. They are beyond easy and always a popular favorite!

Wondering what difference is between French Hot Chocolate and American hot chocolate? French hot chocolate is thick, dense, creamy, rich and typically made with real chocolate bars plus milk or cream, whereas American hot chocolate is usually cocoa powder based, is milder in flavor, thinner and typically sweeter.

While both can be delicious this hot chocolate is for those moments when you are ready to indulge in pure chocolate decadence. It us unapologetically chocolatey, it's unbelievably simple and heats on stovetop in minutes, and the level of sweetness can be adjusted to taste by adding more or less brown sugar (or even none at all).

If you are looking for a quick, perfectly sip-able treat then look no further. Make a batch of this memorable European style hot chocolate and pair it with some buttery croissants for dipping. It's the ultimate indulgence!

Traditional angel food cake just got a sublime upgrade with chocolate in every bite. Homemade angel food cake has been a go-to dessert at our house but I've created this luxurious chocolate version I think you'll love even more!

I've always found most angel food cakes from the store are dry and stale, homemade angel food cake is anything but and the only way to go in my opinion.

It's easier to make than you'd think and it's the perfect finish to a spectacular dinner. It also makes a delectable celebratory cake for a birthday, or Valentines day of course.

Treat yourself this weekend, or make it for a friend or loved one. It's completely irresistible!

Viral TikTok Inspired Baked Oats Improved

Baked oats have been around for a years and became very popular from a TikTok recipe.

The difference between these and baked oatmeal is that the ingredients for baked oats are all pulverized in a blender leaving the oats ground up fine, and with baked oatmeal the oatmeal is left whole and everything is just stirred together in a mixing bowl.

Though the ingredients between the two are very similar their textures are quite different. These are more muffin-like while baked oatmeal is more like a chewy oat breakfast casserole. Both are so delicious just unique in their own way.

I tried the viral version of baked oats but felt it was a bit spongy so modified it based off what I thought would offer a better texture (less egg and banana, adding liquid, etc). And I couldn't resist adding a dab of butter, feel free to add two if you'd like for richer oats.

Try all the tasty flavor variations to discover your personal favorite! I'm still trying to pick a favorite myself because I love all of them.

Easy S'mores Pie Recipe

Are you ready for a new favorite pie? With this dessert, you get all the classic s'mores flavors blended into a three-layered incredibly decadent pie that's served perfectly chilled and refreshing!

Usually, we all think of s'mores as a summer dessert, but thanks to this pie you can have a s'mores dessert any day of the year when the craving strikes. I love taking it to Thanksgiving dinner, because you definitely need some chocolate to compliment the pumpkin pie. Plus, this is an easy pie to make ahead of time and doesn't require the oven!

It begins with a simple homemade graham cracker base (I include a hint of salt to balance out the sweetness of the pie), then it's layered with a silky smooth chocolate filling that melts in your mouth, and topped with a meringue (the kind that will remind you of fluffy marshmallows).

And last but not least—it's toasted to a stunning golden brown finish with a culinary torch!

The only difficult part of making this pie is waiting to dive in. There may just be a slice missing when you take it to the party, it's just too irresistible!

The Best Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix

There's nothing quite like a cup of hot cocoa on a blistery winter day! Whether it's after an evening of visiting holiday lights, spending the day skiing, sledding, or playing in the snow hot chocolate is always the answer and the tastiest way to warm up.

This cozy and warm drink is decadently chocolatey, lusciously creamy, and it's made with just 6 ingredients (once you include the milk to prepare it).

It incorporates chocolate in two forms - both bars and cocoa powder for a pure, real deal chocolate flavor!

Then it also has a secret ingredient of malted milk powder. Which is an ingredient commonly found in old fashioned milkshakes.

It's so tasty and the prefect upgrade to this hot cocoa mix recipe. It adds a hint of that unique malted flavor. You can usually find in the baking isle or dry beverages section at the grocery store (another option is to buy it online).

Once you try this homemade hot chocolate mix you'll likely be hooked and will have a hard time going back to any store-bought mix again. We are completely obsessed with it!

If only it could pass for a decent breakfast and we would be tempted to start every morning with it.
