Instructions
- Place butter, evaporated milk, marshmallows, and morsels in the top of a double boiler.

- Place broken graham cracker pieces in a large bowl.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate morsels instead of milk chocolate. If you prefer a lighter version, you can substitute the butter with coconut oil. When melting the mixture, ensure you stir frequently to prevent burning. Using a non-stick pan can also help with easier cleanup. Experiment with different types of marshmallows for unique flavors in your s'mores. This recipe is perfect for adapting to American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
These s'mores are best enjoyed fresh but can also be served alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. They pair beautifully with a warm cup of cocoa or coffee, making them an excellent treat on a chilly day. For a fun twist, consider serving them with condensed squares for an extra indulgent dessert experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover s'mores in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. To reheat, place them in the microwave for a few seconds until slightly warm, which will help restore some of the melty texture. Avoid refrigerating, as it can make them hard. For longer storage, you can freeze them, wrapping each piece tightly in plastic wrap.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of chocolate for this recipe?

What can I substitute for evaporated milk?
You can substitute evaporated milk with a mixture of regular milk and cream, using two parts milk to one part cream for a similar consistency. Alternatively, you can use canned coconut milk for a dairy-free option that still provides creaminess.
