Back to School Chalkboard S'mores for Lunch Box
A fun and creative lunch box treat that looks like a little chalkboard! These edible "Back to School" s'mores are perfect for surprising your kids on their first day.
Equipment
- Microwave
- Toothpicks
Ingredients
- 6 squares graham cracker squares
- 1 large chocolate bar broken into 6 pieces
- 1/2 cup marshmallow creme
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp ready-to-spread frosting any color
- 6 pretzel sticks
- 6 Wilton sugared apples or green apple–shaped candies
- 6 white Mike and Ike candies
Instructions
- Place a graham cracker square on a plate and spread about 1 tablespoon of marshmallow creme on top.
- Lay a piece of chocolate over the marshmallow, covering the entire cracker. Press down gently to even the creme.
- Put the chocolate-covered graham on a microwave-safe plate. Heat for 10 seconds (do not overheat, or the chocolate will lose its shape). Let it cool completely for at least 10 minutes.
- Use a toothpick to carve a back-to-school word or letter (like “ABC” or “SCHOOL”) deeply into the cooled chocolate.
- Sprinkle powdered sugar generously over the chocolate, filling the carved lines.
- Lightly dampen a paper towel and wipe off the extra sugar from the chocolate surface, leaving sugar only inside the carved marks to look like chalk writing.
- Dip a toothpick into the frosting and use it to glue a pretzel stick along the bottom edge of the chocolate “chalkboard.” Let it dry for 5 minutes to secure the frame.
- With more frosting on a toothpick, attach a sugared apple to the chocolate (like a little decoration). Let it set for 1 minute.
- Finally, use frosting to glue a white Mike and Ike candy just above the pretzel stick to look like a piece of chalk. Let everything set for another minute before packing.
