Whenever I think of s’mores I think of the Disney movie Toy Story. “Just think, in a few hours you and Andy will be sitting around a campfire making delicious hot shmoes……” “They’re called s’mores, Buzz.”. I’m a bit of a movie buff, have I mentioned that? And I’ve got a real thing for Disney movies. I can quote most of them backwards and forwards, and I could do that even before I had kids. No shame here, Disney knows what’s up. So with hot shmoes in mind, let’s talk donuts. S’mores donuts to be exact. Crispy little fried pillows of airy donut goodness dipped in melty chocolate, then topped with toasted mini marshmallows and crushed graham crackers. All the flavors of a s’more in a spectacular, easy to make, donut form. So basically mega s’mores. This is my kind of summer treat. And because I don’t love frying indoors (really how do you keep the kitchen from smelling for three days after? or your HAIR??) summertime really is the perfect time to enjoy these s’mores donuts because I just plug in a little portable burner on my back porch and fry them outside! Even if you do make these in the kitchen, you’re only spending about 4 minutes of time actually frying because they cook so quickly! So there’s really no mess to clean up and the whole lot of donuts will be ready in about 15 minutes. This recipe makes about 20 donuts so invite a few pals over, or see how you do at the Donut-Every-Hour Challenge. It’s a thing friends, it’s a real thing.
