The S’more Goes Next Level

Joy Wilson and Jon Melendez

What makes a s’more a s’more, exactly? Is it the marshmallows and the chocolate? Is it the graham cracker? Is it the inherent toasty, gooey, crunchycombination? In my second cookbook, Homemade Decadence, I’ve stretched
the bounds of the traditional marshmallow s’more to make a peach, Brie, and
dark chocolate s’mores. Since we’re well into the holiday season I wanted to switch up the flavors of this super easy and decadent treat.

These winter s’mores are savory, salty, and melty. Proscuitto and wedges of Brie cheese are layered on top of a graham cracker and placed under the broiler to toast and melt. Once the cheese is melty, the cheese is topped with a thin slice of crisp pear and a second graham cracker. These bites are so easy, so gooey, and supremely satisfying. I especially like them with a glass of champagne… and then another glass of champagne. Cheers!
