A huge welcome to Steve's kitchen. Today we are making s'mores granola and they
are so good and I've got to say thank you to Byron Chandler for reminding me
or introducing me to s'mores granola. When I made the granola last month on my
channel he commented down below and I thought I've got to give those a try. Now
it's really difficult for us to find graham crackers almost anywhere outside
of the USA so I decided to make my own graham crackers you can check that video
out we did that last week on the channel. So for this Byron, I'm using my own honey
maid graham crackers. The other ingredients you're going to want is 75
grams or 2 and a half ounces of salted butter. I'm going to use half a cup of
honey, 1/3 of a cup of compacted brown sugar. I've got half a cup of shredded
coconut and half a cup of delicious chocolate chips. Also I'm using my
homemade honey maid graham crackers and I've just broken those up into little
pieces and we've got a cup of little marshmallows or mini marshmallows. I
actually got these mini marshmallows and cut them in half again to make them a
little bit smaller. By far the biggest ingredient we're going to use is rolled
oats. Now some people use a mixture of rice krispies and rolled oats, I prefer
just the rolled oats but I am going to toast these in a pan just to give some
caramelization. We've got 3 cups of rolled oats and we're making a tray 9
inch square. I find the quickest way to toast the oatmeal is just to pop it into
a frying pan on a medium heat and just toss it around with a spoon until it
starts to change color to a nice honey Brown. Now that's what I'm looking for, a
little bit of color we don't want any blackness in there to make it bitter but
believe you me this really makes extra flavor to your granola. Now we're just
going to take that off the heat to stop it cooking, pop it into your mixing bowl.
Now in a second pan I've got my 75 grams 2 and a half ounces of butter just going
to melt that in there, when it starts to melt I'm going to put my third of a cup
of compacted brown sugar in and I'm going to add that beautiful honey in
there as well, it's a half a cup of delicious honey. Now I want to heat these
ingredients until all the sugar crystals have melted and then I'm just going to
let it bubble away for two to three minutes just
allow the sugars to caramelize slightly so I've got this lovely smooth caramel.
Now do be careful this is super hot don't get your fingers anywhere near it
I'm going to pour that in with the oatmeal now. Now the original S'mores granolas do
have coconut in and I love this shredded coconut, so I'm putting in half a cup and
we get our spoon in there and coat the sugars all over the oatmeal and the
coconut. When I've got an even coating like that I'm going to put in my graham
cracker crumbs nice big chunks and then I want to fold these in. Now be gentle
you don't want to turn it into crumbs. Now if we put our chocolate and the
marshmallows in here now, they'll just melt to nothing, so I want this to cool
down. It might take two to five minutes until it's cool enough that you can
touch and you know the chocolates won't melt. Now I've got a 9 inch square tin
here, I've got a strip of baking paper, pop that down into the tin. Now before
this completely cools I want to take approximately half of my mix and I want
to evenly distribute it across the bottom of the tray .So I'm looking for
something like that and now I'm just going to compact down a little bit not
too heavily and we want to take about half of our chocolate chips, maybe a
little bit over. Now this is cooled down hopefully a little bit and we're just
going to evenly sprinkle those over the top same with the marshmallows we're
looking to sprinkle over, about half a cup of mini marshmallows. Now before
the granola sets and it shouldn't be too hot now we're just going to spoon this
over the top of the chocolate and the marshmallows. Try to get a nice even
coating at this point, just give a gentle pack down again, not too hard, so we've
got this marshmallow and chocolate sandwich at the moment. Now we're back to
the lovely chocolate chips and I'm using milk chocolate chips they're my
favourite, if you prefer the dark just go for it. See I'm just going to sprinkle these
over the top. Now it wouldn't be s'mores without the marshmallow so we're just
going to sprinkle those over the top as well and I've got a few extra little
bits of graham cracker that I'm just going to pop over the top just to give
some texture and now we do want to just compact this down a little bit
Now I'm happy for this to be fairly rough and coarse but I'm just going to
compact this down so we've got a decent granola bar. Now that looks absolutely
gorgeous but to me it's not s'mores unless they're toasted so I'm just going to
pop this under the broiler or grill and just get a little color on those
marshmallows. Now how beautiful does that look I hope
you're pleased with these Byron, these lovely granola s'mores. I'm going
to let that cool down a little bit and then we're going to cut this up. Now I don't
know about you but I'm going to have this cut into a nice little slice, served
with a delicious coffee and let me know what you prefer to have your s'mores.
What beverage you like to have with your s'mores I'd love to hear in the comments
down below. Now when your s'mores granola has set
you can just grab the edges and lift it out onto a board and then I'm going to cut
my granola up. Now if I go straight down the middle and then I'm just going to
divide it up again all the way through so I've got these gorgeous little small
s'mores granola bars and not so little actually. So you know where we go from
here I'm going to take one of these and before I bite into it I just want to
thank Byron Chandler for the idea and I want you to share a bit of love, share
this video across put some sunshine into everybody's life because they're going to
thank you for introducing you to Steve's kitchens s'mores granolas. Now here goes
