S’mores Shakes

Sure, roasting marshmallows and making s’mores over a campfire is fun. But if it’s too hot for a campfire, cool down with chocolatey marshmallow milkshakes! Make them extra fancy with crushed graham crackers around the rim of the glass. First, put the graham cracker crumbs from Step 1 on a small plate, and put a little milk into a small bowl. Then dip the rim of each glass into the milk, and then into the crumbs. Voila!

Step-by-step

Grown-up steps

Put the graham crackers into the plastic bag. Seal it up. Use a rolling pin to crush the crackers into crumbs. Set aside.
Place ½ cup marshmallows on a toaster oven tray lined with parchment paper. Broil or toast until brown on top, about 1 minute. Keep an eye on them—they burn very quickly! Note: If you don’t have a toaster oven, broil in your regular oven.
Scoop (and count!) out 5 scoops of chocolate ice cream into the blender. To do this, dig your Ice Cream Scooper into the ice cream and turn your wrist to scoop it up.
Add the toasted marshmallows and the milk to the blender. Blend until the marshmallows are all mixed in and the shake is smooth.
Decorate the rims of 4 small glasses with graham cracker crumbs as described in the intro. Pour in the drink. Toast the remaining ½ cup marshmallows (repeat Step 2). Place them on the drink and enjoy!
