Introduction
Growing up, summer nights were often filled with the smell of a crackling campfire and the sound of laughter as my family gathered to make s’mores. Those sweet moments of gooey marshmallows, melty chocolate, and crunchy graham crackers became some of my favorite childhood memories. As I got older, I wanted to find a way to capture that nostalgia in a new and exciting form, which led me to create S’mores Crunchwraps. These delicious wraps are a fun twist on the classic treat, combining all the beloved flavors of s’mores with a crispy, warm tortilla. They are easy to make, and my family absolutely adores them, especially when we gather for movie nights or backyard barbecues.
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- 4 chocolate bars (Hershey’s or similar)
- 2 tablespoons butter for frying
- Optional: 2 tablespoons sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon cinnamon for coating
Instructions
- Prepare the Tortilla: Start by laying a large tortilla flat on your countertop or a clean board.
- Add the Fillings: In the center of the tortilla, place a generous handful of mini marshmallows. Follow this with a layer of crushed graham crackers, then top it off with pieces of chocolate bars.
- Fold the Tortilla: Bring the edges of the tortilla up and over the filling, creating folds as you go to form a secure pocket. Ensure that all the filling is tucked inside.
- Heat the Skillet: Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Cook the Crunchwrap: Carefully place the crunchwrap seam-side down in the skillet. Allow it to cook for about 3-4 minutes until it turns a golden brown color.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Add the remaining butter to the pan and flip the crunchwrap over, cooking until the other side is equally golden and crispy.
- Coat with Sugar (Optional): For an extra touch of sweetness, immediately roll the cooked crunchwrap in the sugar and cinnamon mixture, ensuring an even coating.
