S'mores Bites

yield: 24 BITES

total time: 30 MINUTES

Ingredients:

• 7 whole graham crackers (equals 1 cup), finely crushed
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar

• 12 large marshmallows, cut in half

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Finely crush the graham crackers into crumbs, using whatever method you want. I used my slap chop, but a food processor would work or even putting them in a plastic bag and smashing.
3. Combine graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar and melted butter into a small bowl.
4. Evenly divide crumb mixture into each cup of a 24 cup mini muffin pan, grease slightly before using. Press crumbs down to form shallow cups.
5. Bake 4-5 minutes or until edges are bubbling.
6. While that's baking, break the candy breaks into the divided rectangle pieces. Also cut the marshmallows in half using a scissors that has been sitting in cold water.
7. Remove the pan from the oven and place one chocolate rectangle into each cup.
8. Place one marshmallow half, cut-side down, into each cup.
9. Return to oven for 2-4 minutes or until marshmallows are just slightly softened.
10. If you'd like the tops to be brown, turn the oven to broil, and broil the s'mores bites for 1-2 minutes.
11. Cool on a cooling rack for 15 minutes before carefully removing them from the pan.
12. Enjoy! These bites are so delicious you are bound to have more than one!

Eddy Street's Signature Snack: November

November is a busy month and sometimes, you need something easy to make! So I am bringing back this favorite signature snack from last year!

'Tis the Season for pumpkin everything so when I heard about Pumpkin Pie Dip, I could hardly contain my excitement long enough to run to the store and get the ingredients. Plus it met the requirements of my kitchen: Easy to Make and Easy to Eat! Here's how to make it:

Pumpkin Pie Dip: 

Ingredients:

15 oz can of pumpkin
5 oz box of instant vanilla pudding mix (just the powder)
16 oz container of whipped topping
1/2 tbsp. pumpkin pie Spice

Optional ingredients:
Small- medium pumpkin
Cinnamon spice

Mix the pumpkin, vanilla pudding mix, whipped topping, and pumpkin spice in a large bowl and it's ready to serve. Or you can make the dip ahead and refrigerate until you are ready to serve it. 

My favorite dippers are fresh baked snickerdoodle cookies. If you don't have time to make them from scratch, check out Betty Crocker's snickerdoodle mix. Not only do they taste like you spent all day baking them, you can usually get the mix for under $2! It's a win win. Other dipping options include: sliced apples,  pretzels, Nila wafers, or graham crackers. 

Hope you enjoy!
