After a recent trip to Scotland where I introduced the boys to the joy of toasting marshmallows over a fire, we've been using more at home.
L, whose never been bothered by his allergies before, came home from Cubs a bit upset as they'd made Smores one evening. Had they told me in advance I would have sent in safe biscuits, chocolate and marshmallows so he could be included, but when he'd joined a few weeks earlier, they told me they don't do a snack while the boys are there. I've asked them to let me know when there are exceptions again!
Having just come home to an empty biscuit tin after a chilly winter walk, I thought I'd try our own variation...
Cinnamon Cookies (You could skip this step and use any suitable biscuits, I would have used Free From digestives but have run out)
100g Dairy and Soya Free Spread
100g Soft Brown Sugar
1tbsp Golden Syrup
1tsp Vanilla Paste (or extract)
1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
150g Gluten Free Self Raising Flour
*Apologies for lack of images, my App crashed overtime I tried to upload more
Whisk all ingredients, except flour, together until light and fluffy.
Add flour and whisk again until well combined.
Place scoops of mixture onto a lined baking sheet.
Bake at 180ºC for 12mins.
Leave on tray to cool for a few minuted before moving as very soft.
Cool until easy to handle
Assembly
Top the base of a cookie with marshmallows (I used sliced giant ones) and suitable chocolate.
Repeat for number you are making.
Put back in oven for 1-2minutes, until chocolate is melted (but still holding it's shape) and marshmallows squishy.
Top with another cookie.
Leave to cool slightly or warm cookie will crumble.
Serve on a plate to grateful children...
