Did everyone have a fabulous Thanksgiving and stuff themselves silly? Well I sure did. And it was glorious. I ate my weight in potatoes and I don’t regret it one little bit.
And I’m ready to hit the holidays hard. For me, that means a few things:
- baking. lots and lots of baking. the amount of baking going on in my kitchen this week scares me. someone send taste testers.
- It’s time to throw some parties. Complete with lots of fun cocktails and cocktail dresses. And fabulous shoes. Obviously.
- slow cooker meals. hell yes. Isn’t it the best when you can just throw stuff in a pot and come back 8 hours later to dinner?
- shopping!! oh absolutely. I can’t even wait. I haven’t bought any new lululemon gear in over 9 days – and that needs to change immediately.
These are pretty epic. Especially when served for breakfast, still warm, with a little bit of strawberry preserves on the side. I fully endorse a little treat like this before you start your day. It’s the holidays after all, and we’ve got all of January to recover from the holiday baking season, am I right?
I’ve been a scone fan for a number of years now. There are a multitude of scone recipes on this site and today, I’m adding to that! These s’more scones are exactly what they sound like. I substitute a little bit of the flour for some pulverized graham crackers. It’s the right thing to do. And then I toss in a handful of chocolate chips and marshmallows. The marshmallows toast up just the right amount in the oven and come out looking gorgeous.
I don’t know about you, but we have a few rounds of house guests coming to stay with us over the next 2-3 weeks, and these will totes be making an appearance on the breakfast table while our guests are here.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cup graham crackers, pulvarized
- 2 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup marshmallows
- 3/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, graham cracker crumbs, sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix together with a fork.
- Add the marshmallows and chocolate chips and stir everything together. Add the heavy cream to the dry mixture and combine together with a fork until everything loosely holds together.
- Using your hands, form large mounds out of the dough, about 1/4 cup of dough for each scone. Place the scones onto a parchment lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 45 minutes before baking.
- Place into preheated oven and bake for 13-15 minutes until fully baked. Remove and let cool slightly before serving.
- They are extra delicious if you serve them with a spoonful of nutella or strawberry jam.

i LOVE this recipe!!
I love all of your reasons to be excited for the holidays, and of course, this recipe!
You had me hooked at the name! A-MAZING!
This is such a fun idea! Can you believe I’ve never had a scone?
These would be perfect with a steaming cup of hot chocolate! It’s snowing today in VT and all I want to do is head home bake a batch of these and curl up with a good book (and hot cocoa of course!)
The toasted marshmallows put this over the top! Great idea!
This is so brilliant! I love scones and chocolaty smores. This recipe is way too fun for just the holidays.
LOVE scones and love s’mores – definitely saving this recipe!
I couldn’t agree with you more with all 4 of your key points. i seriously think if we lived closer together – we’d be very very good friends cause I’d love to do all 4 of those things together! especially #4…oh shopping
Great idea, these look delicious and I can’t wait to try them!
I adore scones, all kinds of scones. These scones are pretty indulgent, and this is the perfect time of year to indulge. Perfect with a cup of hot coffee.
