S'mores Pizza

Last weekend we had to cancel a trip to the desert to go camping. My son was heartbroken and asked if we could still make "shmores". I found this recipe, which can be made in the oven and is very kid friendly. My 4 yr old son made these (almost) completely by himself from start to finish (because he had to cut the pizza himself this was the best piece for the photo). They do taste just like smores (without the black charred marshmallow) and were delicious. He was so proud of himself for making us dessert and it gave me and him a chance to make more memories in the kitchen. I hope you will make these with that special kid in your life.

1 1/4 graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup whipping cream
6 ounces chocolate chips (use milk chocolate for true smores taste or dark for a little health kick)
Mini Marshmallows as needed

Heat oven to 400〫

Combine cracker crumbs, sugar and butter together and press into a pizza pan (I used a spring form pan coated sides with cooking spray and lined bottom with foil). Heat whipping cream to a boil, turn off and pour chocolate chips into hot liquid, let sit for 30 sec to start melting, stir until smooth. Pour chocolate over the graham cracker bottom. Top with marshmallows ( I used about 11/2 cups of mini marshmallows). Toast in the oven until marshmallows melt and top is just brown (about 5-8 min) but keep an eye on it. Chill in the refrigerator until firm then cut like a pizza and serve (if you use the springform pan, remove the pie from it completely and cut like a pizza.
