S’mores are a fantastically simple dessert that deserve to be consumed outside of a campfire setting. They’re also very versatile in so far as the astounding amount of add-ins you can toss on them. I decided to add some homemade dulce de leche to the mix, (I’ve been on a dulce de leche kick as of late due to the awesome Argentinean bakery down the street from my apartment), and it was probably the best combination I’ve ever. created Seriously, if you are reading this, you need to make these. They are SO. GOOD. Dulce de leche s’mores for the win!

So, What’s Dulce de Leche?

Dulce de leche is a Latin American caramel made with sugar and milk, and involves heating the milk and sugar together very low and slow until it concentrates down into and incredibly rich, creamy, and uniquely tasty caramel. Nowadays it can be done a bit more quickly thanks to condensed milk, which is milk that has already been boiled down to concentrate the flavor, hence the “condensed” name. And they also make sweetened condensed milk, which takes the step of adding sugar out of the equation, so all you need to do is empty the can of sweetened condensed milk into a pot and simmer away until it turns into thickened liquid gold.

Good question! It’s a delightful combination of sweet rich caramel, melted chocolate, pillowy tender marshmallows, and crunchy warming graham cracker. In short–it’s very, very good. If you’re looking for something to take your summer s’mores up a notch, this is it my friend. And you can easily make the dulce de leche at home and bring it in a jar with you camping, so you can assemble it around the campfire. Enjoy, these dulce de leche s’mores, dear reader, and if you’re looking for another summery treat, may I point you towards this plum spoon sweet?

Ingredients

4 milk chocolate bars with almonds
6 Graham Crackers snapped in half
3 cups Marshmallows miniature
14 ounces Sweetened Condensed Milk

Instructions

Fill a small pot halfway full of water and bring it to a boil. Meanwhile, remove the label from the condensed milk can and poke several holes in the top of the can so that the steam can escape. Place the can in the pot of water, making sure the water level rests about 1/2 to 2/3 up the side of the can. Lower the heat and bring to a simmer. Boil the can in the water for about 3 hours, making sure to replenish the water when it boils away and swirl the can around (wearing an oven mit), a bit to help mix up the condensed milk. Be careful not to bring the water to a rolling boil, as this may burn the dulce de leche inside of the can, but to always keep it at a low constant simmer.
Once the 3 hours have passed, remove the can from the pot and set it aside to cool for about 30 minutes. Remove the top of the can with a can opener and pour the dulce de leche into a bowl. There may be burnt bits at the very bottom of the can, but unless they are black and hard they are fine and can be left in the dulce de leche mixture. Blend the dulce de leche with a hand mixer or fork until smooth in consistency. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the graham crackers spread out on a baking sheet. Next break each of the Hershey bars into three pieces, and place each piece onto a graham cracker. At this point half of the graham crackers should have chocolate on them. Next, place about 1/3 cup of miniature marshmallows on each of the empty graham crackers. Now half of the graham crackers should have chocolate on them and half should have marshmallows. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 5-10 minutes, until the marshmallows just begin to have a tint of pale gold at the tips. Don't leave it in too long otherwise the marshmallows will get crunchy.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and quickly spoon one tablespoon of the dulce de leche onto each of the marshmallow sides. Now flip the chocolate sides over on top of the marshmallow & dulce de leche sides to make a s'more. Plate and serve immediately.

OH. MY. DEAR. GOD. I have to do this. I've never heard of making dulce de leche that way!

I've made them twice now, and I am making some more tomorrow! People love them. The dulce de leche was a good add to it. Not too too sweet, but it added a lot of powerful flavor. Thank you so much! I'll have to try more of your recipes in time to come! Wonderful Ideas! The cloud nine cake sounds amazing.
