S'mores Cake in a mug

I recently decided to become a Tupperware Consultant. Up until a month and a half ago, I didn't even know that Tupperware was still around. My friend invited me over for a Tupperware party that she was hosting and I instantly fell in love with their products! Tupperware has evolved quite a bit from what I remember. They have so many wonderful, update, and innovative products. Over the 3 weeks, I have had so much fun exploring their products. Last night, my son and I decided to try out our Tupperware Vent 'N Serve Soup Mug.
I figured what better way to test it out then with a dessert in a mug recipe.
 

We decided to try out a new recipe, S'mores Cake in a Mug.
Like the other Mug Recipes that I have made, this was quick and easy to make.
It was a huge hit with my son!
 
 

S'mores Cake in a Mug

Ingredients
5 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 1/2 Tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Dash of salt

1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
4 1/2 Tablespoons water 

1 large marshmallow or 6 mini marshmallows
3 Hershey chocolate squares
1 graham cracker square broken into small pieces

Directions 
 
 
 
Using a large microwave safe mug, spray the inside with non-stick cooking spray.
 
 
Next, mix the first 5 dry ingredients in the mug.  
 
 
After mixing well, make 3 depressions in dry ingredients.  Pour vinegar in one depression, vanilla in the other and the vegetable oil in third depression.  Pour water over top.
 
 
Mix well until smooth using a fork.
 
 
 
Next, place 1 large marshmallow or 6 mini marshmallows in the middle of the cake mix and press down. Place in microwave and cook on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds**, uncovered at full power. Check with toothpick to make sure it comes out clean (not near the marshmallow).  Be sure not to overcook!  
 
 
When done, remove from microwave, top with the Hershey chocolate squares and sprinkle with graham cracker pieces.  Allow to cool for a few minutes. Enjoy!
Yum!!


TIPS:
**Each microwave cooks differently, adjust time accordingly! Check the cake at 1minute and 30 seconds, if it is not done, put it in for another 10 seconds or so and check it again. Repeat until the cake is done.  If you overcook the cake, it may ruin it.  Be sure to watch as it bakes.

Easy Peasy S'mores Pie

 
My kids love s'mores, but it is not always easy to drop everything and go outside and start a fire to make them. Plus, it always seems like it is raining when they want to make them! A few days ago, in attempt to keep my kids busy during a storm, we tried something new-- S'mores Pie. I had the kids prepare a box of brownie mix, following the instructions on the box. Instead of pouring the mixture in a pan, we poured it into a store bought graham cracker crust. We then baked it according to the brownie box, following the time for an 8x8 pan. When the time was up, we covered the brownie with mini marshmallows and put it back in the oven for a few more minutes, until the marshmallows were nice and golden brown.
My kids approved this "inside" version of s'mores and we will definitely be making this again!

Peanut Butter Cup S'mores Anyone??

I love S'mores almost as much as my kids do! Today we had some friends over, started a camp fire, and roasted marshmallows to make S'mores.  I do enjoy S'mores made with Hershey's Chocolate Bars, but my absolute favorite way is with a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.
 
Chocolate + peanut butter + marshmallow + gram crackers= HEAVEN
 
 
Don't take my word for it, try it out for yourself! Trust me, you won't regret it!!
 
Just replace the chocolate bar with a peanut butter cup and enjoy!
