Graham crackers are one of the few American foods or ingredients for which we haven't found a good replacement yet. However, I suspect crushed Spekulatius cookies would even better than graham cracker crumbs for making a pie or cheesecake crust. So we took that guess a step further and made smores.
Marshmallows are widely available in Munich, so we paired those up with some Milka minis and our homemade Spekulatius cookies.
Milkas are the perfect substitute for the Hershey's squares commonly used for smores, and they actually melt more smoothly than Hersheys.
Put in the oven around 200˚C and cook until the chocolate melts and the marshmallows are toasted.
Mmmm....perfectly browned marshmallows....the kitchen is smelling really good at this point....
And the finished product - a perfect winter treat, and I think the Spekulatius added a nice twist to the smores. If you make your own, you can make them more or less spiced or buttery to fit your taste. We'll definitely be making these again and I'll probably never use graham crackers again. Hmm...I bet Spekulatius and peanut butter would be really good....
