Oven Smores
To start you will need 1-box of graham crackers, 1-13 oz. jar of marshmallow fluff, and 1.5 bags of dairy-free chocolate chips.
Spread the fluff onto the crackers. Place them under the broiler for 1 minute, 50 seconds on low
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler and ladle the chocolate onto the crackers.
For smoother chocolate add 2 tablespoons of butter or butter substitute, optional.
Voila!! Yummy Smores that are dairy-free and gelatin-free.
Also be sure to watch them under the broiler. I let the first batch go for 2 minutes and half of them burnt.
Enjoy!!! I know I did!
