I love the ingredients of s'mores, but I have a few issues with the way thse ingredients come together. First, I think that graham crackers are a subpar sandwich base, because they're so hard. When you bite into a s'more, you too often lose half the filling out the back, or the cracker splinters and the s'more falls apart entirely. Also, I prefer my marshmallow very hot and mostly burnt, but I want my chocolate warm -- neither cold nor melted. That's why I decided to experiment with mini graham cracker pie crusts (and Nestle's Crunch and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, for good measure). In the end I found that this approach addressed my concerns and was mostly a huge improvement, although I'm sure eating s'mores with a spoon will offend the romantics out there. The only issue was that these particular mini pie crusts were too thin and dry. Doubling up might have helped, but maybe next time I'll just have to make my own. /dp
