S’mores Doughnuts

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE S’MORES!

I remember when I was living in Germany, I introduced the All American S’more to my colleagues in the kitchen.  I made it with Hershey’s chocolate, Kraft marshmallows, and Honey Maid Graham Crackers–oh I was able to get all these ingredients from an army base, as I met a sorority sister while I was living there.

SO BACK TO THEIR THOUGHTS-

“Too süß!! Too Sweet”

WELL, AFTER MY ADVENTURES IN EUROPE, I MAKE MY S’MORES DIFFERENTLY–
  • I make my marshmallows, when I can as they just melt in your mouth
  • I use dark german chocolate, not Hershey’s
I ALSO PLAY AROUND WITH THE INTERPRETATION OF S’MORES–

I have made the S’mores Macarons, S’mores Layer Cake, and now these doughnuts!

Graham cracker doughnuts topped with vanilla bean marshmallow fluff, drizzled with dark chocolate ganache topped with crushed graham crackers.

I played around with a formula for petit fours, from the Bouchon Bakery book, by Thomas Keller and Sebastien Rouxel.  I made them last month and they came out awesome!

The doughnuts are buttery, chewy, and pairs awesome with vanilla bean marshmallow fluff which melts in your mouth.  The dark chocolate balances out the sweetness from the fluff.  The crunchy graham crackers tie the whole thing together.
