National Toasted Marshmallow Day-Amy's Way

Today is National Toasted Marshmallow day.
So who doesn't automatically think of S'MORES??  Since I am not a huge fan of the traditional s'more, I decided to do it my way!

Cakeball S'more

I used to make cake ball, what seemed like every day. I think its been at least a year since I have made any, but I thought it might just go well with a little bit of graham cracker and marshmallows. So if you know anything about cakeballs, this will be easy for you!




There are 3 components to this amazing dessert.
1. Graham cracker crust.
2. Cakeball "dough"
3. TOASTED MARSHMALLOWS

Start off with your graham cracker crust. You can use a store bough pie crust if you would like. I mixed mine.
1 3/4c Graham cracker crumbs
1/4 c Sugar
1/3 c Melted butter.
Mix together and press into baking dish. ( I was making a small batch, so I used 3 mini spring form pans and had a bunch left over. Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes. Take out of the oven and let cool.

For the Cakeball "dough", you are going to make a chocolate cake (I used a cake mix).
Bake as directed.
Once cake is baked, let it cool.
Crumble cake
Add about 1/3 container of store bought frosting (yes store bought)
Mix crumbled cake and frosting (I used the kitchen aid mixer). Mix until well combined.
Once Graham Cracker crust is cooled you are going to take your cakeball "dough" and press it into your baking dish to cover your crust.

Now for the TOASTED MARSHMALLOWS. Cover the top of the "dough" with marshmallows and place in the oven on broil. KEEP AN EYE ON THEM... they will toast fast!

Pull out of the oven. and Enjoy!!!!!
