OVEN BAKED SMORES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to broil (525F degrees).
• Unwrap the chocolate bars and divide each into 4 pieces to make a total of 16 pieces of chocolate; set aside.
• Line a large baking sheet with foil for easy clean up. Arrange 16 of the graham cracker
• squares in a single layer on the cookie sheet.
• Top each graham cracker with 2 marshmallows.
• Toast the marshmallows for 1-3 minutes in the oven set to broil (525F degrees) until
• golden brown on top. Use the middle oven rack, not the top rack close to the broiler.
• Important: Do not walk away from the oven while the marshmallows are toasting. They
• can burn very fast! Keep a close eye on the marshmallows as they toast.
• Remove the s'mores from the oven. Turn off the oven.
• Place one square of chocolate on top of each s'more, then return the s'mores to the hot
• oven for 30 seconds to melt the chocolate.
• Remove the s'mores from the oven and top each with the remaining 16 graham cracker
• squares.
• Serve warm. Makes 16 servings.

MARGARITA

Steps:

• Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add tequila, lime juice, Simple Syrup and orange liqueur. Cover and shake until mixed and chilled, about 30 seconds. (In general, the drink is ready by the time the shaker mists up.) Place Lime-salt-sugar on a plate. Press the rim of a chilled rocks or wine glass into the mixture to rim the edge. Strain margarita into the glass.
• Put the sugar and water in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. (Alternatively, heat in the microwave.) Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
• Blend together lime, salt and sugar in a small blender or mini food chopper.

THE PERFECT MARGARITA

Steps:

• Moisten the rim of a glass with a lime wedge. Sprinkle salt onto a plate. Lightly dip the moistened rim into the salt. Place a large ice cube in the glass and freeze the prepared glass until ready to serve.
• Fill a cocktail shaker with fresh ice. Add tequila, triple sec, and lime juice. Cover and shake vigorously until outside of the shaker has frosted. Strain into the prepared glass and garnish with a slice of lime.
