Ingredients

• For the Graham Crackers:
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup cold water
• For the Chocolate Ganache:
• 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
• 1 cup heavy cream
• For the Marshmallow Filling:
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup light corn syrup
• 1/4 cup water
• 4 large egg whites
• 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. To prepare the graham crackers, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and using your fingers or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. In a separate small bowl, mix together the honey and cold water. Pour the honey mixture into the butter-flour mixture and stir until the dough comes together.
3. Divide the dough in half and place one half between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Using a cookie cutter or a knife, cut out the desired shapes for your graham crackers. Repeat with the remaining dough.
4. Place the cut-out graham crackers onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Allow the graham crackers to cool completely before using them in the s'mores.
5. To make the chocolate ganache, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to steam. Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for a minute or two, then stir until smooth and creamy. Set aside to cool slightly.
6. For the marshmallow filling, combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup, and water in a small saucepan. Place over medium heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Continue cooking without stirring until the mixture reaches 240°F (115°C) on a candy thermometer.
7. While the sugar mixture is cooking, place the egg whites and cream of tartar in a clean mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.
8. Once the sugar mixture has reached the correct temperature, carefully drizzle it into the beaten egg whites while continuing to beat on low speed. Once all the sugar mixture has been added, increase the speed to high and beat until stiff peaks form. Add the vanilla extract and beat for another 30 seconds.
9. To assemble the s'mores, spread a generous amount of chocolate ganache onto one graham cracker. Top with a dollop of marshmallow filling and place another graham cracker on top to create a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
10. If desired, use a kitchen torch to lightly toast the marshmallow filling before adding the top graham cracker.
11. Serve the rich s'mores immediately and enjoy!
