No Bake Cookie Dough S'mores

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup flour

pinch salt

3/4 cup miniature chocolate chips

5 S'more Mallows (large flat marshmallows from Jet Puffed)

20 graham cracker squares

1 package chocolate CandiQuik (16 oz.)

sprinkles

Instructions

1. Cream together the butter, sugar, and vanilla. Add the flour and salt and mix well. Stir in the chips by hand. Set aside.
2. Cut the marshmallows in half. Place the cut side down on a graham cracker square. Take a ball of dough and mold it into the shape and size of the marshmallow. Place on top of the marshmallow and top with another graham cracker square. Press down lightly.
3. Place the unwrapped tray of CandiQuik in the microwave. Heat for 1 minute. Stir. Heat again for 20-30 seconds. Stir until melted and creamy.
4. Using a fork, place the s'mores one at a time into the melted chocolate. Use a spoon to spread the chocolate all over the crackers. Gently remove using the fork. Hold over the chocolate tray and tap the wrist that is holding the chocolate. Do this very carefully so the cracker does not fall off into the chocolate again. When all the excess chocolate has dripped off, place on a piece of wax paper and top with sprinkles. Let set. Store in a loosely sealed container. Makes 10 s'mores.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 2 round 9-inch cake pans.

For the cake, put flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl and mix well.

In a stand mixer, mix the buttermilk, oil, eggs, vanilla together. Slowly add in the mix of dry ingredients while the mixer is on low. Add the coffee and make sure everything is combined. Batter will be very thin.

Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Turn the cakes out onto a cooling rack. While the cakes are cooling, make your frostings.

Chocolate Buttercream:

Cream the butter in a stand mixer for about 3 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix on medium speed for 3 minutes.

Cookie Dough Frosting:

Cream together the butter and sugars in a stand mixer until smooth and creamy.

Add the flour, milk and vanilla and beat on high until well combined, about 2-3 minutes.

Now it's time to put together your cake!

Frost the top of the first cake with the Cookie Dough Frosting. Then layer the other half of the cake on top. Frost the outside of the cake with the Chocolate Buttercream Frosting.

Pipe dollops along the bottom edge and top with the leftover Cookie Dough Frosting and/or decorate as desired. Top with a chocolate chip cookie!

Notes

You can easily substitute a boxed cake mix and store-bought chocolate icing in order to save some time!
