My parents were {are} teachers so we would always have treats in the house at Christmastime. Â We also had an overabundance of coffee mugs that said “World’s Greatest Teacher” that would, more often than not, be filled with hot cocoa for us kids. Â I guess it’s no wonder I grew up wanting to be a teacher. Â Perhaps a little subtle hinting was on their part.
Although I am not a career teacher I am a teacher in heart so I like to pay special attention to my kids teachers around this time of year. Â They do so much to mold my young boys and I absolutely know the work that goes into being a teacher. Â It takes a special kind of person with skill and patience to be a teacher.
I understand that teachers all over the world are about to be inundated with candy, treats, cookies, and maybe a nice fruit basket like the one Ralphie gave his teacher on A Christmas Story so I thought I’d whip a little something special.
These S’more Truffles are rich and decadent so a small box will suffice leaving ample room for the “World’s Greatest Teacher” mug in the gift basket.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup mallow bits marshmallows, I used Jet-Puffed
- 3 graham crackers, crushed
Instructions
- In a medium, microwave safe bowl, heat the chocolate and the heavy cream until the chocolate is melted cooking on high for 30 second intervals making sure you stir in between.
- Allow to cool slightly and stir in the marshmallows.
- Chill until firm, about an hour.
- Scoop tablespoon size balls and smooth them between your hands.
- Immediately roll in the crushed graham crackers. Serve immediately or chill for up to a 3 days.
