S'mores Truffle Squares

 So the second I saw this I knew I had to make it.  I saw this recipe on Cake Dish.  Sometimes a recipe just pulls you in like that.  Especially with sweets!  I was so excited to make this that I didn't read the recipe through and ran to the store to pick up marshmallow fluff not realizing I needed heavy cream and powdered sugar too.  So, my recipe ended up just having marshmallow in the middle and apparently not very much of it.  I tried to make up for the lack of marshmallow filling by drizzling some on top.  You can taste it but I would have liked to have more in the middle.  I love this truffle, it really tastes awesome.  I loved the crunch that the graham cracker gave it.  I was worried it would go soggy and not hold up completely but it did. Next time I make these, and yes there will be a next time, I plan on trying the fluff, powdered sugar, cream, vanilla mixture to use for the filling to see how those ones turn out.  

S'mores Truffle Squares 

3 King size Hershey's bars
A packet of honey graham crackers
1/2 c. marshmallow fluff

Cut the graham crackers and Hershey bars into same size pieces.  I did small squares that were bite size.  The crumbs leftover from the graham crackers can be used to sprinkle on as the topping later.  To assemble spread marshamallow fluff on graham cracker, top with a piece of chocolate.  Place these in the freezer for about 20 minutes.  In the meantime add all remaining Hershey's bars into a double boiler and melt and the dip cold truffles.  Place them on wax paper to harden and top with crushed graham crackers.  Allow the truffles to harden in the refrigerator for about an hour.  I only made about a dozen of these.  I used one king size bar for the truffles and the remaining 2 bars for melting.  Once cooled I also drizzled marshmallow fluff over the top of the truffles since I didn't initially add enough marshmallow in the middle.
