- S’mores:
- 2 packets of honey graham crackers blended until almost fine powder (288 grams)
- 1.25 cups of melted unsalted butter
- 2 tsp cardamom powder
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 4 cups of mini marshmallows
- 3 xl Hershey's chocolate
- Crush pistachios (optional)
- Syrup to soak Marshmallows in:
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp saffron thread (grounded)
- 8 green cardamoms slights crushed
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 tsp rose water
- 2 tsp lime juice
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and Pam spray a 9×13 deep pan.
- Step 2: Mix graham crackers, melted butter, cardamom powder, and vanilla extract with a spoon until the graham crackers are no longer loose crumbs.
- Step 3: Spread the graham cracker mixture to make the crust in the pan, tightly packing it together and making sure it’s even.
- Step 4: Bake in the oven for 10 mins or until it starts to become a darker brown.

- Cool the s’mores and slice them up into 12 or 24 bars using a wet knife. Store them in the fridge for a more hardened but still delicious bars before serving!
