Time 45m

Yield 4 s'mores

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 Chocolate Graham Crackers, recipe follows
1/2 cup good quality raspberry preserves with seeds
Two 3.5-ounce bars bittersweet chocolate bars, halved crosswise
12 marshmallows (vanilla, dark chocolate or raspberry flavored or combination of all)
Nonstick cooking spray
1/2 cup (2 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
3/4 cup (3 3/4 ounces) whole-wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup good quality Dutch-process cocoa (recommended: Vahlrona)
1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup slightly cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
2 tablespoons clover honey
2 tablespoons cold milk, plus more if needed
3 tablespoons sugar in the raw

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium.
  • Spread the bottom side of each graham cracker with 1 tablespoon of the raspberry preserves and arrange on a flat surface, preserve side up. Put half a bar of the chocolate on top of the preserves on 4 of the crackers.
  • Toast the marshmallows on sticks or hangers until golden brown on all sides and softened. Put 3 marshmallows on top of each of the crackers with the chocolate and top each with the remaining crackers, raspberry preserve side-down. Arrange them on sheets of foil and put them on the grill. Close the cover and grill until the chocolate just begins to melt, about 30 seconds. Serve immediately.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper and spray lightly with nonstick spray.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flours, salt, cocoa, sugar, and baking powder. Cut the butter into the flour mixture until small crumbs form. In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey and milk. Add the liquid to the dry ingredients and toss lightly with a fork until the dough comes together. Add additional milk, if necessary.
  • Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and gently knead until smooth. Divide the dough in half. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Work with half of the dough at a time, keeping the remaining dough covered. Transfer 1 piece of dough to a piece of parchment paper. Roll it out into a rectangle a bit larger than 10 by 14 inches and about 1/16-inch thick. Trim the edges and prick the dough evenly with a dough docker or fork. Transfer the dough to the baking sheet, sprinkle the top with half of the sugar and repeat with the remaining dough.
  • Bake until slightly firm to the touch, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove them from the oven, and immediately cut them into rectangles. Transfer them to a rack to cool
