Hatch Chile S’mores

Did you know Hatch Chiles make for a great dessert? Yes, really! They spice up any recipe, whether savory or sweet. This recipe calls for only 5 ingredients and you make them ahead to have as as snack for school, work, or whenever you’re in the mood for good food.

Ingredients:

  • 5 graham crackers, snapped along perforations into quarters
  • 40 miniature marshmallows
  • 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Melissa’s Hatch Chile Powder

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the over to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. On a baking sheet, spread half of the crackers quarters. Top each with 4 marshmallows and bake until the marshmallows begin to melt, about 5 minutes. Take the crackers out of the oven and immediately top them with the remaining cracker quarters, pressing down slightly.
  3. Combine the chocolate and oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir the mixture with a wooden spoon. Continue microwaving on high in 10-second increments, stirring well after each increment, until the chocolate and oil are completely melted, combined, and smooth. Add the chile powder to the chocolate and stir to incorporate. Dip each cracker sandwich into the melted chocolate, turning to coat all aides and setting on parchment paper to dry.

Note: This is a fun treat with a little punch. Make sure the bowl and the spoon you use for melting the chocolate are both perfectly dry, as an moisture can cause the chocolate to seize (form a hard grainy mess) rather than melt smoothly.
