I think Libby’s friend Paula has the culinary expertise like that of Mrs. Flax, the character Cher played in the movie Mermaids. I have never actually seen Paula cook a whole dinner. She never comes to our house empty handed but always brings a dessert or appetizer. On many occasions, Paula has been asked to bring her version of Smores. In keeping with the Mrs. Flax Fancy Finger Food use of marshmallows, this is an appropriate recipe for the comparison of both women. They’re not made over a camp fire but in the oven and are quite good. I don’t have a picture of Paula in a mermaid costume so Lil Red Riding Hood will have to do.
Paula’s Smores
· 1 1/2 cups butter, melted
· 1 14.4 oz box of graham crackers
· 2 small bags of your choice of chocolate (She uses milk chocolate chips)
· 1 bag of miniature marshmallows. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 C).
1. Grease a 9x13 inch pan.
2. Crush up graham crackers. In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter and graham cracker crumbs. Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
3. Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven.
4. Immediately spread marshmallows over mixture once removed from oven.
5. In the microwave or in a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water, melt chocolate chips, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat and spread over the marshmallows.
6. Let cool overnight in airtight container and then cut into squares the following morning.
These Smores have been a hit at every get-together. They get gobbled up fast. Mrs. Flax would be proud.
