Fillings and Toppings
- ½ Cup Marshmallow Fluff
- ½ Cup Melted Chocolate
- Flaky sea salt (to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare Dates: Pull open each Medjool date and carefully remove the pit to create a cavity for the fillings.
- Smash Dates: Place the pitted dates on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and flatten each one using the bottom of a mug to create a smashed base.
- Add Marshmallow Fluff: Spoon a small amount of marshmallow fluff onto the top center of each smashed date to add creamy sweetness.
- Add Crunchy Layer: Place one or two Simple Mills Sweet Thins or graham crackers on top of the marshmallow fluff, forming a crunchy layer.
- Melt Chocolate: Slowly melt the chocolate in short increments in the microwave, stirring between each until smooth and shiny.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Drizzle the melted chocolate generously over the layered dates to coat and enhance flavor.
- Garnish: Sprinkle flaky sea salt and a dusting of crushed Simple Mills Sweet Thins over the top to add texture and a hint of saltiness.
- Set: Place the prepared s’mores in the freezer for 15 minutes to set the chocolate and marshmallow fluff firmly.
- Serve: Enjoy these delicious smashed date s’mores chilled as a quick and satisfying treat.
Notes
- Use Medjool dates as they are soft and naturally sweet, perfect for smashing and stuffing.
- If Simple Mills Sweet Thins are unavailable, substitute with your favorite graham crackers or crisp cookies.
- Microwave chocolate in short bursts (20-30 seconds) to avoid burning and ensure smooth melting.
- Flaky sea salt balances the sweetness, but adjust according to taste preference.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer to maintain freshness and texture.
