Refrigerate 10 min. or until completely cooled. Meanwhile, line 9-inch square pan with plastic wrap, with ends of wrap extending over sides. Arrange half the grahams on bottom of prepared pan, breaking as necessary to fit.
• Add 1 cup COOL WHIP to marshmallow mixture; whisk until blended. Spread over grahams in pan. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Melt 2 oz. chocolate as directed on package. Beat cream cheese in large bowl with mixer until creamy. Gradually beat in remaining milk. Add dry pudding mix; beat 2 min. Whisk in melted chocolate and 1 cup of the remaining COOL WHIP; pour into pan. Top with remaining grahams. Refrigerate 3 hours or until firm. Meanwhile, shave remaining chocolate piece into curls.
• Invert dessert onto plate; remove plastic wrap and pan. Top dessert with remaining COOL WHIP, raspberries and chocolate curls.

CAMPFIRE S'MORES BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart square baking dish. Spread hot dog bun pieces out onto a baking sheet.
• Bake hot dog buns in the preheated oven until dry and crisp, 7 to 8 minutes. Cool completely.
• Beat condensed milk, 3/4 cup milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and nutmeg together in a bowl.
• Spread hot dog bun pieces out in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour milk mixture over buns. Scatter 1 cup marshmallows and 3/4 cup chocolate chips over the milk mixture; let rest until mixture is slightly soaked into bread, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center of the bread pudding comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
• Whisk 2 tablespoons milk, 2 tablespoons marshmallows, and 2 tablespoons chocolate chips together in a saucepan over medium heat until marshmallows and chocolate are melted and completely incorporated. Pour marshmallow mixture over bread pudding and cool, 20 to 30 minutes.

EASY CHOCOLATE PUDDING S'MORE PIE

Steps:

• Beat pudding mixes and milk with whisk 2 min. (Pudding will be thick.)
• Spread 1-1/2 cups pudding onto bottom of crust. Stir half the whipped topping into remaining pudding; spread over layer in crust. Mix marshmallow cream and remaining whipped topping; spread over pie.
• Refrigerate 3 hours or until firm.

FROZEN S'MORES

Steps:

• Line a 9x13 pan with foil or parchment paper, allowing paper to overhang pan.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together pudding mix and milk until smooth and creamy. Pour into 9x13 pan and spread into an even layer. **See note**
• Chill pudding layer while you mix up the marshmallow layer.
• In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese and marshmallow cream until smooth. Fold in whipping topping.
• Spread marshmallow layer over chocolate layer. Cover with foil.
• Freeze layers about 6 hours, until firm enough to cut through (freezing time will vary depending on how cold your freezer is). Use the foil or parchment paper to remove layers from 9x13 pan and place on a cutting board.
• Break 15 graham crackers in half. Slice pudding/marshmallow layers into 15 squares the same size as the graham crackers. If your layers have frozen very hard you may want to wait 15 minutes before slicing.
• Sandwich layers in between two graham crackers. (Watch the video in the post for an easy way to do this.)
• Eat right away or store sandwiches in the freezer in an airtight bag or container. Graham crackers will soften slightly if stored in the freezer for a while, and I think that makes these taste even better. After they've been frozen, allow them to rest at room temperature 15-20 minutes before eating for the best texture.

S'MORES DARK CHOCOLATE PUDDINGS

Steps:

• For graham cracker crumb layer:
• Preheat oven to 300°F. Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine all ingredients in processor. Using on/off turns, blend until coarse crumbs form. Spread crumbs out on prepared baking sheet (if necessary, break up any large pieces with fingertips). Bake until crumbs are crisp, stirring once, about 10 minutes. Cool. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
• For puddings:
• Whisk sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder, espresso powder, and salt in heavy medium saucepan. Add egg yolks and whisk to blend (mixture will resemble wet sand). Gradually whisk in milk, then cream. Whisk constantly over medium heat until mixture comes to boil, then boil 30 seconds. Remove from heat. Add chocolate, whiskey, butter, and vanilla; whisk until chocolate and butter melt and mixture is smooth. Let pudding cool slightly, whisking occasionally, about 10 minutes.
• Spoon 1/3 cup pudding into each of six 1-cup glasses; spread evenly. Sprinkle each with graham cracker crumbs, dividing equally. Top each with 1/3 cup pudding, spreading evenly. Cover each with plastic wrap, pressing plastic directly onto pudding. Chill at least 2 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
• For marshmallow topping:
• Blend all ingredients in large bowl of stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment. Set mixer bowl with egg white mixture over saucepan of simmering water. Using hand whisk, whisk mixture constantly until instant-read thermometer inserted into mixture registers 160°F, about 6 minutes. Attach mixer bowl with egg white mixture to stand mixer again and beat on high speed until marshmallow topping forms stiff peaks, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Top each pudding with 2 large spoonfuls of marshmallow topping, covering top completely and creating peaks, if desired. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 hours ahead. Chill.
• Using kitchen butane torch, lightly toast marshmallow topping until golden in spots.

CHOCOLATE S'MORES PUDDING

Steps:

• Combine the cream and milk in a large, heavy saucier or saucepan and bring just to a simmer.
• Meanwhile, add the sugar and cornstarch to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and mix together. Add the egg yolks, vanilla and salt to the mixing bowl just as the cream mixture is coming to a simmer. Beat on medium speed to combine, then slowly pour the hot cream down the sides of the mixing bowl to temper the sugar-egg mixture. Continue beating until smooth.
• Transfer the mixture back to the saucepan and heat over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens to the consistency of mayonnaise and is beginning to bubble.
• Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the chocolate and butter; continue stirring until melted and fully incorporated.
• Immediately divide the pudding among serving cups or pour into one large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressed direct onto the pudding to keep a skin from forming. Refrigerate until set and completely cool, about 2 hours.
• When the pudding is ready to serve, place the graham crackers in a zip-close bag and crush into rough pieces. Place some marshmallow cream in a piping bag and pipe a mound onto each pudding. Lightly brown the top of the marshmallow with a kitchen torch. Sprinkle with graham crackers and serve immediately.
